Happy Father’s Day!

May 15, 2013

Father’s Day is on the 16th June this year, just over a month away.

Back in March, we created a new card for Mothering Sunday. We thought it would be lovely to add a new card to our Button Box collection to celebrate Father’s Day too!

The design features a print of a hand drawn potting shed with a watering can, plants & a little bird perched atop of a garden spade. Below are the words ‘happy father’s Day’. The card is hand finished with a little upcycled button. (So every card is unique depending upon the button!)

Perfect for sending a message of love to your Dad this Father’s day!

Hydrangea – understanding

Lilac – first love

Gypsophila / Babies Breath – innocence

Blush Rose

Anemone – expectation.

Daisy – share your feelings

Lily – truth & honour

Lily of the Valley – happiness

Or why not mix all your favourites to create your own precious mix of meanings!
