romantic garden greetings

       "And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. "But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!"

Matthew 6:28-30

       These card designs, available in blue, red and purple, may be printed first then carefully cut out with an Exacto knife. Then mount it on top of a darker colored paper with tiny glue dots in order to give your card a three dimensional look.

Quotes:
  • "People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us." by Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honorable Defeat 
  •  "For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous.  Bricks to all greenhouses!  Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!" by Edward Abbey 
Story Illustration: In one of the earlier chapters of his "Les Miserables," Victor Hugo tells how a good bishop answered his housekeeper once. She expostulated with his lordship for giving a full quarter of his garden to flowers, saying that it would be better and wiser to grow lettuce there than bouquets. "Ah, Madame Magloire, " replied the bishop, "the beautiful is as useful as it is beautiful."
       The ministry of beauty is one of the overflowings of the divine mind and heart, and serves God's purpose in common with the utilities of His works.
