Spring Flowers!
While some of you live in climates where you are well into Spring, we’ve just had the April showers and are eagerly anticipating the May flowers!
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
and curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
“Winter is dead.”
“Daffodowndilly” by A. A. Milne, When We Were Very Young
Daffodil
If you are fortunate to live in a climate where you have wild daffodils then we are a wee bit envious. Our daffodils are the intentional ones that are lovingly planted and nurtured by gardeners. Our Narwhal in Banana is the same bright and cheerful shade as these beautiful, spring flowers.
If you haven’t seen one of our completed Narwhals, you are missing out on a great stuffie experience. They are so soft, cuddly and super sweet that I dare you to hold one without smiling!
Tulip
Ah, Tulips! This lovely spring flower comes in an astonishing variety of colours and types such as single, double, lily flowered, fringed and Rembrandt.
Did you know that in the Netherlands, in the 1630’s, rare tulip bulbs were used as currency and could be used to buy a luxury home? If only stuffies had that value now, can you imagine how much we could buy with our kids’ collections!
Crocus
Our cute, little Opal the Turtle has the same soft colour combination as these crocuses (or croci if you prefer the latin). These delightful spring flowers exemplify the wonder of spring as they burst through in unexpected places including snow covered fields.
I don’t think Turtles have a habit of bursting onto the scene but slowly and surely these little stuffies will work their way into your heart.
Lily of the Valley
Our cute, little Opal the Turtle has the same soft colour combination as these crocuses (or croci if you prefer the latin). These delightful spring flowers exemplify the wonder of spring as they burst through in unexpected places including snow covered fields.
The white and green combination of Olivia is appropriately called Lily and her shape unintentionally resembles a Lily of the Valley bloom.
