Not your bottom...I promise!!!

I've received several comments and emails from ladies claiming I used their backside as my inspiration for my bloomer lady... Not so...I assure I posed for it myself.  About 28 years ago( over 1/4 century ago) when I started the nursery I designed this logo.  The bloomer part was easy but getting the position of the feet correct and the hat, shoulders and hoe were giving me fits... So I had a good friend come with a polaroid camera (remember those?) and while I posed she took lots of pictures until I found a position which I could use...

I had great fun with this logo and it served me well... It was not only on my nursery website (now defunct), it was on T-shirts, garden signs, note cards, etc. I found a few sets of the note cards in the barn and if you are into garden humor you may enjoy them.... I may even put some on Etsy this summer.
