Description
Buzz, buzz, buzz. In the cottage garden behind the old mill, the first warm day of spring had woken the bees, and they were making up for lost time. One fat, golden bee tumbled from bloom to bloom, so heavy with pollen it could barely fly, until it landed on a bright blue blossom by the gate and stayed there so long that the gardener thought it had fallen asleep.
This bulb-shaped box captures that sleepy, sunlit moment. Vibrant blue petals unfurl around it, and a little bee has settled on top, doing its important work with great dignity. The colors are fresh and lively, and the whole design carries the gentle hum of a spring border. Lift the lid for a nook big enough for a ring or a sprinkle of wildflower seeds. Give it to a beekeeper, a honey lover, a member of the garden club or someone forever drawn to cornflower blue, and suggest a home for it beside a little jar of local honey on the breakfast dresser.
Inside and out
- A blue flower bulb shape
- A bee resting on the petals
- Vibrant blue petals with a garden feel
- Holds small treasures
- Brushed with a delicate touch by porcelain painters in Limoges, France
Give it to a beekeeper friend after their first honey harvest, or to someone who has just planted a pollinator garden. The bee reminds us that small creatures do the most important work.
