​

Violets were favoured most particularly by Queen Victoria.  In fact, so deep was her admiration for this purple posy, that she referenced them over one hundred times in her diaries!

Unlike her public image, Queen Victoria must have had (and was reputed to have) an extremely passionate soul.

See my "Folklore Fun Archives" for a much more flattering image of this incredible lady!  Or click here:  even-queen-victoria-can-be-queen-of-the-may-queenvictoria.html

Disclaimer:  Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
