Happy Mother's Day

The Mother's Day corsage: a red rose if your Mother is living and a white one if she has passed. I paired my rose bud (I didn't have a rose in full bloom in my rose bed) with rosemary for remembrance and tied it all together with a beautiful pin my Mother gave me at Christmas.

That's what we always did as a little girl but I was surprised a young woman such as yourself knew this!

Happy (belated!) Mother's Day! Much as I love costume jewelry, my eyes went straight to that gorgeous pin!

Bernideen--I always remember getting corsages on Mother's Day for my Mother and Grandmother--I think there are a few people left who do it. I saw several at church.
Angela--Happy belated to you, too!
