The Daisy Jewellers.

Just when the green of the leaves have finally dulled,

And our friend Winter has gone to sleep,

Our friend Spring comes along and everything seems to perk up again. 

The Daisies arrive.

Divine Daisies. 

Daisies are divine!

Daisies can be seen all year round, but they look their happiest in the springtime. 

Daisies are close friends with The Earth.

In fact, they are rooted in The Earth.

A little like how you may have a special friend in your life. 

A friend is rooted in you.

You are rooted in your friend.

The Earth looks out for the Daisies and the Daisies look out for The Earth. 

They share the same fabric is why. 

They are stitched together like a favourite sweater.

You may feel this way with a special friend in your world. 

You look out for each other. 

And if no special friend comes to mind, that’s okay. 

The Earth thinks you are special and admires you just for you. 

When the Daisies look thirsty and tired, The Earth shares water with them to pick them up. 

There goes the watering can. 

And when the Earth feels rainy and bleak, the Daisies peer up from winter full of kind and giving hopeful sunshine. 

Their warmth springs out like a rocket, surges out from the yellow nectar of their face, and then shoots up to the solar system and feeds the sun, just how the sun feeds them. 

A smile can go a long way. 

If all the smiles travelled this far, think of how many smiles we would see every single day!

The Daisies stretch as if they have just awoken from a long nap. 

Several seasons have gone by after all. 

They stretch their stems, like how we may stretch our arms out after a long slumber. 

Their petals widen like refreshed eyelids in the morning.

They dust off any dirt that has fallen on their petals by doing a little morning dance. 

 Sunshine pours onto them, sweetening their nectar, and breakfast is served for the bees.

The Daisies yawn and stretch, seizing the day before it's even begun. 

Ah, spring has sprung. 

They look up, almost in unison, to the gentle yet striking attention of cherry blossom showers kissing their petals. 

Cherry blossom petals and Daisy petals catch up after feeling the changes of the seasons without each other for the past year. 

It feels nice checking in again.

Autumn, summer and winter have missed meeting up with their friend spring and seeing their friend flourish.

Spring is their optimistic friend. 

The Daisy Jewellers have something to do with the joyful mood though. 

Daisy Jewellers are the children that come, year after year, to the doting attention of Daisy craftsmanship. 

You may recognise the work of Daisy Jewellers in the innocent ringlets of Daisy Bracelets and necklaces and the Daisy chains that look like they go on for miles

and miles

and miles. 

Perhaps you are a Daisy Jeweller too.

Sometimes, seeds are planted for flowers but do not grow.

Sometimes, they grow and then return to Earth before they have fully grown, and sometimes they grow 

and grow

and grow.

These Daisies can be really rather tall, towering over other Daisies…In a friendly way, though.

It’s just a different perspective up there, that’s all. 

In fact, being a shorter daisy often means that they can see, really see, their bug life friends down there.

The taller daisies are on the lookout for tramplers. Tramplers are the big stompy feet from humans. The taller daisies let the smaller daisies know when they approach so they can curl up together and protect each other.

Lady bird’s and spider’s love stopping to catch up with the daisies when they pass by. 

They have no issue in pausing their daily errands for the daisies company. 

You may sometimes hear Daisy's dear friends Dandelion's be called weeds. 

Technically speaking, they are. 

When you hear the word weed, perhaps it’s a slightly different image then one of a flourishing flower. 

That being said, fellow Daisy Jewellers, they are rather beautiful weeds 

and there is a wildness about Dandelions, a burst of energy, freedom!

They do have the word lion in them after all.

For being known as weeds, dandelions make rather pretty bouquet’s, lovely jewellery, warmer walks home, and sunny company for empty vases, well… everywhere. 

Maybe in a home near yours.

Flowers, in general, are the family that make a vase feel like a home. 

The life inside an otherwise lonely house. 

Whether the vase is home to one Daisy, a Daisy duo, or a small family of Daisies, there is always a fine floral company to seek. 

Maybe in the spring you will find yourself being a Daisy jeweller. 

Maybe a returning Daisy Jeweller or a first time Daisy jeweller.

Maybe in the summer, a Dandelion Jeweller. 

Perhaps in the late Autumn, a Poppy Jeweller. 

In December, a holy jeweller. 

Do mind the prickles. 

They don’t mean to prickle at first.

 You just have to get to know them.

Or perhaps, depending on where you live in the world, you may be a flower jeweller of many flowers at different times of the year! 

Or other Nature Jeweller’s.

A leaf jeweller! 

A twig jeweller! 

A mud jeweller!

After a graceful time making home in their meadow, garden, wild, or vase, the flowers may begin to wilt. 

But even when wilting, you can see their beauty. 

Their joy.

Their gratitude.

Their wisdom.

Gratitude for the life they have lived and gratitude for being in your life too radiating your day. 

Petals fall as confetti of celebration for the life they have lived.

To have touched the world around them.

To touch the world around them.

To have shared their beauty with you. 

To share their beauty with you.

In bloom or in wilt, or in the time in between in just a peaceful state of being, with no particular blooming or wilting; all stages of life are to be celebrated. 

In late September, our other dear friend, Autumn, helps change the scenery after a long summer. 

Autumn, the masterful set designer of the last quarter of the year, painting new on the brown and crimson leaves that are falling asleep.

Gliding through the sky with a gentle brush, they gently rest on the Earth’s pillow like they are being sung a lullaby by the seasonal changes. 

Leaves fall like sleepy music notes.

Leaves glide on the Earth, shuffling to the seasonal music around them. 

Paving the path for us, one crunchy step at a time. 

As the Autumn song calls for the leaves to fall, so do the Daisies weary heads.

Autumn gently puts the Daisies to bed, sending the softer leaves over to the daisies to rest their sleepy heads.

Worn out by the seasons, but in a lovely rewarding sort of way, The Daisies petals fall gently, one by one.

Surrendering to seasonal change. 

When you are sleepy, your eyelids may begin to fold. 

The Daisies petals droop.

Eyelids droop. 

Falling into slumber, resting weary heads.

The lullaby of Autumn starts to play now. 

Time to drift off, until next year. 

The daisy's sleepy head eventually rests on the pillow of grass.

A little like how your sleepy head rests on your pillow at night time.

Daisies are wilted and the Daisy Jewellers are divided in their feelings. 

Some children relish the daisy season, sewing their daisy chains together with fellow daisy jewellers to make bracelets for their friends.

Some make daisy jewellery and enjoy every moment of wearing it.

Other children become very sad when the Daisy Jewellery starts to fall from their wrists or free from their doting finger tips. 

Lastly, there are the Daisy Jewellers who collect the daisy jewelling memories as quickly as the daisy petals fall from their nurturing finger tips.

The beauty of wearing daisy jewellery in the present moment lives on forever in the hearts of the daisy jewellers. 

They remember these times so fondly that the daisies are never far from them. 

They look forward to seeing new daisies bloom and find similarities in old daisies that have passed. 

They look forward to meeting new daisies again one day.

But they never forget the daisies gone by.

Or the children gone by.

With every season, a new flower blooms.

And with every flower bloom, a new jewel to share. 

A new flower to admire, to smell, to happily admire from afar, to make flower jewellery!

In full bloom, in the spring, Daisies make the prettiest bracelets, but not long after, they start to wilt. 

Naturally so.

But when they wilt, they are winding down. 

Not in a state of woe, though.

But in a true state of gratitude for the company of a Daisy Jeweller like you. 

They are tired. 

They are peaceful. 

When they wilt, they are having time to rest and plant room for more daisies. 

For more jewellery.

For more gratitude. 

For more life.

For more memories.  

When they fall from the grasp of a finger or a wrist, they fall with grace and peace. 

To the homeward embrace of the Earth’s pure and truest footing. 

The Earth embraces the daisies almost as if every particle has been summoned to hold them tight.

Stems of flowers wrap around them like loving hugs. 

Cherished. 

Warmly Welcomed to the resting place of Daisy Divinity. 

Divine Daisies.

Daisies are divine. 

The Daisies eventually rest.

But they’ll see you again soon.
