Embellishment Inspiration Kit #259, Series 2 ... Theme: "Lily of the Valley - Return to Happiness" ... from The Language of Flowers, in various hues of white, purple and green. To spark your creativity this colorful kit features a vintage French post card image reproduced on cotton, together with a lovely mixture of vintage & contemporary elements for textile arts, mixed media, crazy quilting, slow stitch, collage, fabric art books, snippet rolls, etc. Of particular interest and a main focal point is a lovely glass domed button that pictures the theme, Lily of the Valley flowers.
This kit contains the following and arrives prettily packaged in a box as seen in the last photo ... just for you ... or a gift for a creative friend:
* Image of a vintage French postcard of a lady among Lily of the Valley flowers, reproduced on cotton, measuring approx. 2 1/4" x 3 1/4".
* Filigree glass domed oval button of Lily of the Valley flowers, approx. 3/4" x 1" . The button is contemporary and features a vintage image reproduced on cotton.

* 24" of vintage French Valenciennes lace, fine cotton, plus approx. 12" of vintage lace that surrounds the image. It is placed around the image but not attached so you can use it for another purpose if desired.
