Nancy's rosettes...

My mother, Nancy, asked me to make her a rosette to wear for a relative's upcoming quinceanera celebration....   

She had admired the one I wore last summer for my godchild's First Communion, and thought it would be a great addition to her somewhat plain gown.  

Not having seen her dress, and armed solely with the information that it is "light bluish/gray" and  "flowing" ... I decided to make a couple of rosettes.

this version is the closest in style to the one I wore last year.... it is made out of pale blue silk (almost a periwinkel) and vintage lace.

 

A second option is in creamy whites, with just a hint of blue in the ribbon.

 

And her third option is the more traditional "rose"

 

I also made this tag for her....

(which I'll need to translate, since her English is very basic)

 

(I fell in love with this blue roses paper, from Michael's $1 bins....)

 

I'm including another little surprise in her package...this lovely vintage hand towel monogrammed with an "N"

 

And there you have it:  Nancy's rosettes!

 

I hope she likes them!
