Did You Know?
"Bridal bouquets began in medieval times as nosegays -
small, sweet-smelling clusters carried by medieval brides.
The bouquets expanded in size over the centuries, largely to
keep pace with ever more extravagant wedding gowns."

Beaded Garden Web Site
The book list at Beaded Garden became so long that I broke it down
into subcategories by country (left column on the web page). The
latest category added is for
Dutch books.

Dutch Beaded Flower Books
I recently acquired a number of
Dutch beaded flower and
beaded tree booklets. They're all at the Web site under
books/Dutch. Each title has a picture of the cover, a
description of what patterns are included in the book, and
one or two additional photos from inside the book. These books
are part of my personal collection and are not for sale.
However, if I should come across additional copies of any of
the books they will be made available via the Beaded Flower
Newsletter. Click here to sign up for the weekly newsletter.
