Reasons why we want at least twenty of these:
1. Because we’re becoming obsessed with flowers
2. Because these might actually make a decent gift for Mother’s Day
3. Because whenever we get a cute bobby pin, we lose it immediately
4. Because the red will really suit our hair color (or anyone’s)
5. Because we’re getting into muggy heat territory, and these are better than just plain black ones to hold up braids
6. Because sometimes, it’s the littlest details that really make a look

you're kidding, right? foundling has been around a LONG time, her work is incredible, and she came up with the idea in the first place - a LONG time ago. It's so wrong for someone to come along and copy something exactly, just to make a profit.
It's one thing to be inspired by someone, and it's another to copy them to a tee. Very, very sad. If you're a longstanding fan of etsy, you already know about foundling, and the copying situation.

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More

Wow, these are a flashback to growing up in a small town and the wives from the American Legion selling these on November 11. If you WIKI-pedia paper poppy, you get the backstory:
The charity organises a fund-raising drive each year during which artificial poppies, meant to be worn on clothing, are offered to the public in return for a charitable donation. Over the course of the preceding year disabled people are employed making the poppies. The idea of poppies dates back to the poem In Flanders' Fields about the First World War, after which the Legion was founded. The idea is that the poppies are worn from November to Remembrance Day to remember the fallen of the First World War, and implicitly the dead of other wars.
