Victorian Tussies Ribbons & Roses



These are my latest creations showing my love of ribbons, roses, lace & wicker! I have always adored tussies or nosegays & these are my version in a large style. I started out with a woven wall cone or wicker basket painted off white and added a pretty bouquet of roses & my knotted bliss ribbons & a pretty lace doilie. I used a folded vintage hankie on the one that has a rhinestone brooch.

I am showing one of these used on a vintage frame of a deco bride & groom as a embellishment.

I also love using these on mirrors, door knobs, or on doors or a wall.

These are gorgeous used on the back of a special chair for a bride at the reception or used on the ends of some of the pews at the wedding.


The last one I show in pink would make a gorgeous mother's day bouquet!

Hi, This is my first time on your blog, just discovered it... I can't tell ya how happy I am to see such beautiful things. I love what you have made here, I would love to have something like this on a piece of clothing to wear it...I bet you would be fantastic in making flowers pins. I enjoy wearing romantic clothing and you have a knack of making so many pretty things.

I notice your picture frames too. I never seen so many wonderful frames all in one place. I think you took all the best ones out there! I absolultely love them! I'll be back again for sure. I'm so glad I have found you.

Have a Wonderful Day-
