Ah I’m so glad! Here is a picture of our PM with the poppy that we all wear in November. And also the white poppy that some people wear, these aren’t a charity one but they are a symbol for people for people to show they are staunchly against all war. I have both.
I am actually embarrassed that I didn’t know it was actively a thing over there. I do enamels too and have been working out a design. Im a white poppy gal! Didn’t know that either. I guess my lack of knowledge isn’t horrible since I did due diligence in my research and it never came up. Ever. 💖
No need for embarrassment! I think it's something that just happens here, we don't really advertise it. It's really lovely that you are spreading the word about the symbolism of the poppy, and I would love to see your enamel design when you're finished. I want to try enameling too at some point.
If you'd like you can DM me a postal address for you and I'll send you some of the paper poppies in November. You could add them to your display where you are selling your lovely hair pins ♥️
