Tudor Rose Scissors

In May, Paula came to England and stayed in Kent. She visited a number of castles, one of them being Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. There were carved Tudor Roses everywhere and she was already working on these scissors, so felt the name was apt. These scissors are 3.75” long and the tip of the blades are very pointed. The blades are extremely sharp and the scissors look like antique silver.

Primitive Little Gems Scissors

This is another pair of Little Gems scissors.  Now you might wonder - she's done 11 pairs - why another pair?  Well what happened is that as you no doubt know, primitive designs are extremely popular right now and we have a number of incredible designers dedicated to this type of designing.  As soon as some of them saw the Little Gems, they wanted a pair in the matte black, just like the Putford and The Love scissors.

Owl Scissors

They are just under 4" high and the Owl is on both sides of the scissors.  The blades have been designed to be a bit shorter and the body of the scissors to be longer, similar to the Hardwick scissors, so they are fantastic at snipping in those hard to reach areas.
