But I grew up near a wooded area, and always used to pick handfuls of wild violets for my mom and grandma. I live in the desert now and miss seeing those kinds of flowers growing wild.

I have one of the little white milk glass, barrell shaped bottles. The violets on it are actually a decal but are still lovely. I believe the bottle is from the 1970s. I always look forward to reading your posts and seeing what new art you are up to.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767965484390519592.post-74118605258743023982012-04-07T18:38:01.771+01:002012-04-07T18:38:01.771+01:00I have been an hour and a half here.
