  1. So pretty Rebecca, and a basket full at a ladies gathering or shower would look so cute and the hostess could pass them out as the guests were leaving!

  2. How pretty? All of them together in a basket make such a statement! And I think they would be perfect to hand out at luncheons etc…. pinned.

  3. Rebecca, these are so pretty! I featured a vintage rosy posy using doily place mats a few years ago. I love yours and they look so lovely gathered in the basket! Pinned! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction

  4. These are so pretty Rebecca and have such a big impact when grouped together! It’s wonderful to see you in the hop again 🙂
