ok, these really are actual flowers that have gone through some magical process to make them hard, preserved, durable earrings. The color is wonderful. They are big though, I have double pierced ears and I can't wear anything in my second piercing when I wear these, but that's fine with me.
This serving paddle is very unique and pretty. The design and color are beautiful, and it is very well made. The ceramic inset is easy to clean and is appropriate for any appetizer. I love it.
