    I bought this big daisy scarfclip from around the fourties a while ago in a thrift shop. Its really big and bold, about 3 cm diameter.
    Its just a fun object. It reminds me of springrain, summernights, lots of sun and light.
    Please let this winter finally be over with!
    A daisy is the symbol for childhood, innocence, and purity.
    "In the west, the daisy is a symbol of simplicity, chastity and transformation. We see these meanings in the Roman myth of Vertumnus and Belides. As the story goes, Vertumnus (Roman god of seasons, agriculture and gardens) became utterly enchanted by the dainty nymph, Belides. Vertumnus was so beguiled and infatuated with Belides - like a creepy stalker - he became obsessed, and would not cease pestering Belides with his unwanted affections. Being the sweet nymph she was, Belides transformed herself into a field of daisies rather than hurt Vertumnus' feelings by telling him she had no interest in him."
    So how cool is that? :-)
    Hope you like it!
