About Inky Productions
My work is about the romance of the Victorian era -- a time when secret conversations,
or not so secret as the case might have been, were held through the exchange of
flowers. Even the arrangement of the flowers was important; for instance, if you
had thornapple, orange blossom, purple columbine, iris, white clover, primrose, and spider
flower, a poem from the flower meanings could read like this:
Last night I dreamed of thee,
And our eternal love,
I am resolved to win your affections,
I have faith that you think of me,
But I simply can’t live without you another day,
Elope with me straight away!
There are also flowers that mean 'yes' or 'no' so one could respond to arrangements that
asked a question or, in this instance, reply to a proposal.
As you can see this pastime was very romantic and fragrant too!
A few selections from my online store:
♥ The art pendants make great bridal gifts, for the bride or the bridesmaids. One idea for
use would be to coordinate the bridesmaids dress with the pendant color and bouquet.
Think how gorgeous those photos would be!
♥ They also make great gifts for anniversaries or just-because. Many deal with the theme
of love, and would be great to give that special someone, but others are on friendship
and attributes. There's something here for everyone. Take your time, look around, and
indulge in guilty pleasures.
In Love by Keira Gillett:
I have loved you without knowing you,
I have felt grief for you,
I have whispered in the night just to talk to you,
Waiting, always waiting,
A fool in search of love.
Thanks to
Michael Harris Photography for the fine art photographs and head shots.
