The Birds & The Bees

This Earth Day, we celebrate our winged friends: birds, bees, butterflies and ladybugs! A sign of the return of spring and the renewal of life, these are so very important for both the beauty of our gardens and the continued existence of many foods that we eat. They are also lovely to look at—in vintage prints and as inspiration for vintage jewelry and accessories.
