Poot, I was wrong, they are actually daisys: http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/fmlac10526_10b.jpg The discussion about it was that there was a girl with bow shaped jewls but that was actually Maria Stuart in a white gown with bows down the front made from red jewels. I got the two mixed up in my memory;) http://www.tudor-portraits.com/Various_7.htm The Princess Royal, daughter of James I, VI and Anne, 1603. (National Maritime Museum)She's all in white with the red bows. I'm sure I've seen gold ones on someone though... but I can't find it... michaela de bruce http://glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
