Description
On the first warm morning of May, Margot carried her coffee into the garden and found a ladybug resting on the back of her hand. She did not move. Her aunt had told her, years ago, that a ladybug who chooses you is carrying a small piece of luck, and that you must let it leave when it pleases. It stayed for the length of one slow sip, then opened its red wings and was gone over the hedge, and that afternoon a letter arrived that changed everything.
This flowered heart keeps that kind of moment close. A bright ladybug sits on top as if it has just landed, and painted leaves and blossoms curl around the sides like a spring border in a cottage garden. Give it to someone who believes in small omens, or to a sweetheart on Valentine’s Day, and suggest it live on a dressing table where earrings and a folded love note can wait inside.
