THIS
IS A LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 500 PIECES!
Please purchase soon -- she won’t last long!!! Only
$79.00 each, plus postage & handling.
Inspiration for
this piece comes directly from Chapter X of Little Women, when the
March sisters plant a garden with flowers representative of themselves:
The
garden had to be put in order, and each sister had a quarter of
the little
plot to do what she liked with. ... the girls’ tastes differed
as much as their characters. Meg’s had roses and heliotrope,
myrtle, and a little orange tree in it. Jo’s bed was
never alike two seasons, for she was always trying experiments.
This
year it was to be a plantation
of sunflowers, the seeds of which cheerful land-aspiring plant
were to feed Aunt Cockletop and her family of chicks. Beth
had old-fashioned
fragrant flowers in her garden, sweet peas and mignonette,
larkspur, pinks, pansies, and southernwood, with chickweed
for the birds
and catnip
for the pussies. Amy had a bower in hers, rather small and
earwiggy, but very pretty to look at, with honeysuckle and
morning-glories
hanging their colored horns and bells in graceful wreaths all
over it, tall white
lilies, delicate ferns, and as many brilliant, picturesque
plants as would consent to blossom there.
