Spring is tiptoeing in and I am inspired by garlands, floral crowns, and pins, charms and amulets. Shown here are a few darling creations that caught my eye. For starters, this Bliss Spring flower necklace (shown below) makes a darling gift, and what a charming idea:

Shown above in a rainbow of blossoms is an amazing Nepali artisan crafted paper garland. Each flower is constructed of two layers of lokta paper:

“The paper is handmade from the bark of a tree found at 6,000 to 9,000 feet altitude in Nepal’s mountains. The bark is removed only every two years, in order to maintain the health of the tree.” For six dollars these darling garlands are perfect for a birthday party.

Another charming reminder of Spring is this fiery rose fabric pin:

How about dressing up in this fun headband?
