This is a twist on the use of a dandelion, but I thought it would be a good comment on yours as well. Yea for the Dandelions!!! you got my vote! <br />Christine said: <br />Hi Lauren,<br />More ideas: Dandeliion Dress. In Northern Michigan winter is passionately desirous of its own virtues waring constantly to keep its identity beyond Springtime and even Summer months. We've had snow in June. So, patience was something I wanted my youngest daughter to learn in a joyous way: I created the Dandelion Dress Idea specifically for the purpose of waiting and looking for Spring Signs. I would find or make a pretty yellow dress by the month of March and hang it visibly in the house. This would signify to her to desire to wear it "When the dandelions bloom!"- a significant Spring Sign. She delighted in this winter time waiting room. When she found a dandelion in full bloom on our grounds she could then bring it and be given the dress to wear. She enjoyed this so much in her adolescent years she held Dandelion Contests with young people in state and out of state by sending letters to them saying that they would be rewarded if they sent a dandelion to her- hopefully before she had found one.<br />The Dandelion Dress Idea for when your daughters have grown-up:<br />Right now, I have three packages sitting artfully wrapped up in a handwoven basket with a well-selected card inviting my 16, 21 and 25 year old daughters (lives 9 miles away)to bring me a dandelion. Each package is a specialty gift that represents each of their passions as women... I hope to continue this with my grand daughters. This idea lends itself well to the romance of Spring as well as the virtue of patience that is needed by womanfolk of all ages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
