April Joy With Daisies & Diamonds

1. Daisies

Joyful visions of daisies bring sunny days and “he loves me, he loves me not” to mind…and “daisies won’t tell!” Masses of these little beauties allow us to have fresh flowers surrounding us! They are humbly affordable and have more than a bit of “country” charm!

3. Diamonds

Masses of diamonds on the other hand…require an investment of another sort!!

They need not be massed for us to enjoy!!
