I'm an avid fan of black and white movies and a perenial favourite is the wonderful soap opera weepie Now Voyager. Like many 1940's movies it is beautifully shot, full of fabulous fashion and glamorous gowns.

The film charts Charlotte Vales's doomed relationship with her married lover and has the kind of poignant ending and soothing sound track that makes you cry but in an enjoyable way!

One of the metaphors in the film is the Camelia and Charlottes's lover, Gerad, often sends a corsage of Camelia's to Charlotte as a declaration of love.

We often make corsages and wrist corsages for customers who are attending special events as they work well as an alternative piece of scented jewellery. Although we don't supply Camelia's we do grow many scented roses that make wonderful corsage's and our herbs also make delightful aromatic corsages for daywear.

How fabulous it would be to receive a corsage in one of our little signature hat boxes as a little suprise before an important date.
While we're on this subject,let's not forget buttonholes for men, who say's these should only be worn for weddings?

Let's bring back 1940's glamour!
