This is for today's Teapot challenge, to use packaging or vintage labels as your inspiration. I'm old, so I remember Yardley soaps and talcum powder, this is based on their Lily of the Valley scent package!

My mother was French and lily of the valley is a special flower for them, so I recognise your packaging inspiration instantly. In fact, I have an eau de toilette on my dressing table ;-). Beautiful colouring.

This is gorgeous..I can almost smell the lily of the valley fragrance. I love that scent...have some perfume of it. I do remember the Yardley soaps, too. Beautiful watercoloring...thanks for the memories.

You have no idea how much I love this. I was born in May so Lily of the Valley is my flower. Back East where I grew up Mom's house has an entire side of the house covered with these fragrant flowers. This just takes me there.

Very creative with the speckles you put on this. The ribbon on the bottom is a great focal point for your sentiment. Lovely card!!
