Snowflakes!

Snowflakes - by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Out of the bosom of the Air,

Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,

Over the woodlands brown and bare,

Over the harvest-fields forsaken,

Silent, and soft, and slow

Descends the snow.

A fresh coat of snow overnight was the inspiration for my search of "snowflakes" on Etsy. Here is a simple collage of a few of my favorite items with a snowflake theme. Clockwise from the upper left photo:

a collage sheet of real snowflake photos from 1900, from piddix

child size felted wool mittens with snowflake pattern from my own shop, FeltSewGood

vintage snowflake brooch, from DesiredSimplicity

snowflake motif wedding invitations, from rgbcolor

Have a look at these items and more in the shops of these Etsy artisans and sellers!
