found friday: the house that lars built



language of flowers tea towel, language of flowers oven mitt and oversized huge paper flower bouquet by etsy store The House That Lars Built.

The pattern of the tea towel and oven mitt "records a love poem written by a boy to a girl in the "language of flowers", the Victorian-era means of communication in which various flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages, allowing individuals to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken. Starting with the left side of the wreath to the right side, each flower reveals one more part of the missing puzzle. Included in the poem are amaranth globes, black eyed susans, daisies, poppies, dandelions, tulips, morning glories, roses, magnolias, laurel leaves, laurestine, forget-me-nots, honeysuckle."

Happy fin de semana :)
