Pansies!!!!!

ThetaPrincess24 · #1 01-06-2005, 10:02 PM

For the past few days I have been in Gatlinburg,TN (never been? need to go!) and I must say I havent seen as many pansies in one place as I did when i was there. Not only are all of the flowers planted there pansies, but in just about every store you can find something to buy with pansies on it, and in some cases many things! I bought a framed piece of pansy art for my evolving pansy bathroom, a pansy suncatcher, and a pansy magnet! Aside from these items, the place we stayed at, in the lobby had pansy pillows on the sofas! I even saw pansy hat boxes, other framed pansy things, pansy socks, pansy jewlery,pansy ceramic items, candles, crystal.........a pansy heaven ladies!!!!!!

We do love pansies here in the South!

And I just spotted a beautiful set of pansy salt & pepper shakers in the Winterthur catelog that I have never seen before. Mary, you are going to love these!

I love those Patti!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually incorporating pansies and our colors and another things or two into the wedding.

And speaking of salt and pepper shakers, Gatlinburg,TN has a Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum(not open in the off season though so we didnt get to go inside)--right next to an awesome winery and place where they sell homemade jams,jellies, peanut butters,etc.

A teacher I know just got back from Gatlinburg last week, where she got married. I said,"I heard on a message board that there are pansies everywhere in Gatlinburg! Did you see a lot?" and she said, "OMG, they were everywhere...our maitre'd, most of the porters in our hotel, guys in the shops..." and I suddenly realized that she wasn't talking about flowers and told her that I meant the flowers.

She said, "Oh. The town is covered with them."

Thank you sweetie . . .

Thats kind of an . . . ugly flower isn't it? ITs like yellow with splotches . . .

Haha pansies come in colors other than black and gold.

Waiting to see if any Thetas on here attack you for bashing their flower, lol.

to James

I like all colors of the Pansy. My Pansy bathroom has all the different kinds of pansies in it.

There is a reason why we chose that particular color combo, but if we told you we'd have to kill you

hahaha

I'm kidding. It is beautiful part of our ritual so we cant tell ya buddy sorry!

Hey James-

I hope this doesn't sound terribly rude and inhospitable, but we really don't care what you think of our flower

I have noticed pansies all over NYC so maybe it's just that time of year.

They always looked like smiling faces to me.

I never realized it but now that I think about it and look at the pansies we have planted, I think you're right!!!
