little miss morning glory

A paper lady with flowers in her hair to complement her summer kimono stands on the cover of this single signature notebook. 

Miss Morning Glory, queen of the dawn, awakens growth, embodies fleeting beauty, and reminds us to cherish the moment.

I crafted this little assemblage for my growing collection of garden haikus -- reflections on the bright, sunny days, and velvety nights that disappear far too quickly for my liking. 

Stars in the garden,

dewy morning glories shine,

awakening joy.
