Re: Flower Power Rose Bouquet

I am absolutely blown away. It reminds me of the "celebration" ceremony of my mother's death. Her wish was for the immediate family only to rent pontoon boats, take a picnic of fried chicken, and play jazz music, then scatter her ashes in the lake. I happened to see some huge rose bouquets that morning at the grocery store and bought about 5 dozen. Each of us took part of her ashes in a cup and placed rose petals with them, when scattered in the lake, they sparkled and floated on top of the water, we circled the boats around them. It was absolutely beautiful and your roses look exactly like those bouquets. Sorry to be sappy, but sometimes the things we make can really touch people, and I just wanted you to know how your roses brought back great memories. Thanks.

Re: Online Sources for Hard-to-find Handbag Hardware

I am DESPERATE to find the faux jewels used to embellish designer clutches, etc. They look like giant rhinestones, you'll see them on many designer clutches this season. I have been searching for over an hour, and can find NOTHING. Anyone? Also, I'm new to this site, can't wait to learn from all of you. thanks.
