friend once said I hate it when my lover buys me roses. The beauty so short lived and so much money.
It occurred to me that the beauty really isn't in the rose petals so much as the thorns. A symbol of enduring love even through difficult times.
In solid white brass we've cast actual rose stems from Ina's garden, thorns and all. They are a symbol of the beauty of a relationship that lasts. Not just through the easy times but the tough ones as well. The perfect gift.They are meant to lie on a shelf, or to grace a small vase, or maybe tucked away in the back of a drawer.
