I love millinery flowers~
My last trip to the antique market it seemed to be vintage button and millinery flower day. 
I did buy some vintage lace, but for the most part it was flowers. 
In possession of a large quantity I sought help with "reviving" these millinery flowers. 
Some great people in the Etsy forums gave me the suggestion of putting the kettle on the stove and holding the flowers in the steam.
Suggestion: I used a metal pair of tongs to hold the flower; that steam is HOT! lol... 
Anyway, wanted to post some of the flowers before and after, they came out great!!
I was encouraged this weekend while out in the very hip Asbury Park , 
at the Asbury Lanes, 
I noted quite a few girls with large flowers in their hair. 
Very cute! Could be the newest trend! 
Stay tuned, I am working on some hats with these cute flowers~
*sigh* I shouldn't keep them all for myself.
