The Hanging Nasturtiums are up at the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
.

To help celebrate this annual tradition, I was asked to create a few necklaces depicting the flower. I found a few lovely old Botanical Prints, and dropped them off yesterday along with a pendant of Isabella's motto "C'est mon plaisir" (which is engraved on the side of the building). It was a gray and overcast day but once inside, we were hit with the vibrant scent and colors of these amazing flowers and the other Spring plantings.

I am eternally grateful to have the opportunity to work with this most magical place.

Oh how lovely, both jewels and flowers! And I think I know which plants I'll look for at the nursery this spring. It sounds like nasturtiums are easygoing as long as they get full sun.

what a magical place and it is wonderful that you can fill it with magical jewels! (& maybe some florals for Thorn?)

I will try to get some more things up on Thorn, so loaded with order filling and making enough for a booth at Spoutwood! I need six hands :)

Gorgeous!

You should sell your Waterhouse necklaces there, too. It would totally go with the whole romantic garden theme.

Damn I am jealous! I want to go so bad. I would love to take photographs of their beautiful courtyard.
