Flowers & Hair

Flowers and Hair Flowers and Hair
I like braiding my hair and putting it up. Today I embellished even further by decorating with Forget-Me-Nots. Unfortunately these little blue flowers don’t last very long once they’re cut and they were pretty limp and sad looking by the end of church. It was still fun. No one else had live flowers in their hair.

  1. How pretty. I hadn’t realized just how long your hair had gotten 🙂

    It takes a bit more work, and wouldn’t be practical while mommying children, but I’ve seen arrangements with the flower inserted into a small tube of water – also buried in the hairpiece. Think an itty-bitty test tube with the stem in it, then a blob of household wax sealing the top shut, and the whole thing glued to a bobby pin which holds it in place inside the braid/weave.

  3. Like the one’s Easter lilies come with?

    Dang, haven’t had an Easter flower to wear to church in a decade or more. I saw one in Shaw’s the other week.

  5. I like that movie. 🙂 And I think we’ve got in on DVD which means I could watch it in bed without little girls worrying/wondering about it.

  7. Exactly, only a bit smaller so it could be hidden inside a bride’s hairdo.

    Down here, the grocery stores sell corsages for Easter & Mother’s Day wearing-to-church. Pretty little boxes and everything, right on the shelf next to the chocolates.

  9. I like it! It’s a rather nice, subtle effect.

    There’s a song by Great Big Sea about the Forget-Me-Not, which this post reminded me of… It’s very sweet.

  11. Huh. I can’t remember where my dad would go to buy the flowers for my Mom on Easter but I know they weren’t in the grocery store in NC.

  13. OOOOooooo!! Pretty!!!

    For Mother’s Day, I got to wear a flower made out of craft foam by LightningBoy at school. It was pretty too, but, your flowers are prettier!
