23 Days of Inspiration: Poppies

The poppies were inspired by little red paper poppies my grandmother would have in her house, they were sold at the grocery store and the money would help veterans.  I don't know why they stuck with me through the years, but they have.  They are more in honor of my grandmother and my childhood memories than the meaning and symbol behind them.  To me, they are reflection of a childhood filled with small wonders and cherished moments.

Wonderful necklace! I love the red poppies. And by the way, thank you so much for picking my Alamo inspired bead soup as a favorite. I was thrilled to see the post- didn't catch it until today because I was sick. What a happy surprise when I checked my email today!!
