Linda Talbott says:Dear Trinkets ~ this is so beautiful, and a welcome respite from all the snow we’ve been getting in New England. I love the pairing of the pearls with the rose. The other elements and the chain make for a beautiful composition. (I am a visual artist, so I sometimes think in those terms.) It is quite simply lovely.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:What a wonderful, fresh design! The rose is a wonderful touch!
Is this Mavis?

trinkets says:Lynn, I forgot!! Yes, it is Mavis…I changed my business name so new banners etc…
I get those roses from China.
All you have to do is a Google for resin roses, China…should get a lot of suppliers…only place I have ever seen them.
L.Talbot: I was surprised to hear how much snow you were getting & the storms! Here in Ottawa, we’ve only had 17 cm so far….poor New Englanders, think greens & pinks…:)
