In celebration of Valentine’s Day, a real love story about **Josephine and Napoleon Bonaparte.

Josephine surrounded herself with a little bluish, yellowish, purple or white colored flower called a Violet.  Her perfume smelled like violets, and she had a garden full of violets. After her death, Napoleon visited her grave and gathered a few violets from her garden. These violets and a lock of Josephine’s hair, were found in a locket, which Napoleon carried as remembrance of their love.  Wow!  

That’s it for this week my friends… Thanks for visiting and please leave a message below, I  love to read your comments! See you all next week for more Discover Handmade from HandmadeArtists.
