When William Henry Fox Talbot photographed the lace these earrings are inspired by in the 1840's, it was the dawn of a new era in photography. Lace, on the other hand, has been a popular decorative element since the late 15th century. The intricate detail of this lace is the inspiration for these earrings. Great to celebrate spring and any of life's joyful moments!

Spring in Washington celebrates the cherry trees and their beautiful pink and white flowers that bloom in late March. Every year, Cherry Blossom Festival performers put on a colorful show right in front of the National Archives steps. The majority of the trees are located near the Tidal Basin, where they are most popularly viewed. The Japanese cherry trees were a gift from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington on March 27, 1912. The National Archives holds many records related to the United States' relationship with Japan.
