They say February is a good time for gardners to start pouring through seed catalogues and dreaming up the flowers that will bloom in spring and summer. Though I don't have much of a green thumb, as a jewelry designer, it never seems too early to play with romantic floral themes...
And since I haven't posted any photos from last year's trip to Paris in a while, I thought this would be a perfect time to show you one of my very favourite gardens, Jardins Luxembourg.
The vast park-like setting features a 'pond' in its centre with statuary, topiaries, and places to sit encircling it.
This is me and my brother-in-law Ed squinting in the bright September sun.
And, of course, the well-manicured grounds were lush with colourful flowers.
And now for a little something from my imagination, I created these garden-inspired necklaces, each featuring some kind of floral element, from a petit point-covered coin purse to a flower basket, and a sterling silver rose pin to an enamel guilloche locket.
Thank you for stopping by, and please stay tuned for my Prayer Card collection, coming soon to The French Circus! Have a beautiful week, mes amis! :)
Enjoyed seeing your photos from your trip - thanks for sharing them. What a beautiful place to visit. Love the Spring inspired necklaces.
ReplyDeleteI need to get busy creating here - some up coming birthdays.
Have a great week.
How funny you should mention Paris! I actually went to bed early and dreamed of being in Paris! What a wonderful dream and wonderful pictures you posted. Maybe it is a sign? (Sigh!)
ReplyDeleteHi, Jwegren! Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and inquire about this necklace. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) all of the necklaces in this posting have been sold.
