NEW DESIGN!!! 

Never Forget - forget me nots on a bed of daisies and ferns.

The Forget-Me-Not flower represents true faithful love, fond memories and hope. It is also a flower essence of the heart chakra.

Medieval German folklore declares that devoted couples garnished themselves with forget-me-nots to pledge they would never forget each other when separated.

There is a German myth about a couple taking a romantic stroll along the Danube River. They spot the beautiful blue blooms of the forget-me-not. The handsome and romantic gent attempts to pick a bouquet for his love, but tragically slips and is swept away by the river’s fierce current. As he is carried away by the current he cries out to her, “Forget me not my love!” It is believed this is how the flower was named.

🌿Ferns symbolize sincerity towards others. It can also be a symbol of magic, fascination, confidence, shelter, discretion, reverie and a secret bond of love.  Ferns are prehistoric living before the age of the dinosaurs! 

🌼The daisy represents purity, innocence, loyal love, beauty, patience and simplicity and new beginnings. 

The word daisy comes from the Old English word dægeseage, meaning "day's eye".   The daisy was thusly named because at night the petals close over the yellow center and during the day they re-open or “awaken”.  This is how the fun saying “as fresh as a daisy” was created; it infers that someone had a restful sleep.

The daisy is the sacred flower of the Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility, Freya.  The daisy embodies childbirth, motherhood and new beginnings. 

The daisy is actually two flowers in one, called a composite flower.  The yellow center is called the disc floret and the outer petals are the ray floret.  Because they are actually two flower in one, blending it such beautiful harmony the also symbolize true love! 💗

Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.

NEW DESIGN!!!  I continue to be fascinated and inspired by the beauty of forget-me-nots and snapdragons.   My forget me not designs have been a symbol of memory for those who have lost a love one and I am honored that my designs are a part of such precious memories of loved ones!

Forget You Not – This is a bouquet of forget me nots on top of a bed of wild snapdragons

The Forget-Me-Not flower represents true faithful love, fond memories and hope. It is also a flower essence of the heart chakra.

Medieval German folklore declares that devoted couples garnished themselves with forget-me-nots to pledge they would never forget each other when separated.

There is a German myth about a couple taking a romantic stroll along the Danube River. They spot the beautiful blue blooms of the forget-me-not.

As he is carried away by the current he cries out to her, “Forget me not my love!” It is believed this is how the flower was named.

Snapdragon symbolism – fascination, graciousness, and being friendly. The snapdragon is also a symbol of dignity, strength and resilience. It represents a unique beauty. It is also a flower essence of the throat chakra.

Legend has it in Germany that the snapdragon has the ability to ward off evil, bad luck or curses.

Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.
