Dolly Kertes and her Carnations yep, along with a wonderful lunch and great conversation last Saturday , Dolly gave me six of these gorgeous hand made and hand painted fabric flowers. She told a charming story about watching her Grandmother make these flowers to put on family graves during the depression. I am so glad she remembered the art and made them again.

Her son-in-law Tom Stevens took the picture, I have been after him to post his nature photographs on a blog for everyone to enjoy......maybe he will find time soon.
