My mother had a lovely collection of shoe figurines as a child these little figurines brought about fantasy dreams of Cinderella and her glass slipper. We always had Lilly of the valley growing in our garden and it’s sweet scent wafted through the air in the spring. I often put little flowers picked from the garden in these trinkets. This was painted in memory of my childhood and my mother.

FUN FACTS
Lilly of the Valley...Convallaria magalis means "that which belongs to May," making lily of the valley the recognized flower of the month of May, and thus, May birthdays.
It is also the official flower of the zodiac sign Gemini. is a fragrant flowering plant used in religious ceremonies, world celebrations, perfumes and in gardens as a symbol of chastity, purity, modesty and happiness, lily of the valley has been a popular wedding flower since the Middle Ages. According to legend, its strong fragrance lures the nightingale to find his mate. For some brides, the flower is the fifth item carried during a wedding, along with something old, new, borrowed and blue. In Holland, the flower is planted in a newlywed couple's garden as a symbol of the renewal of love.
