Vintage Velvet Japanese Millinery Rosebuds

Vintage Velvet Japanese Millinery Rosebuds, originally uploaded by confections.

I found these at a vendor's booth at the Road to California quilt show in Ontario, California, close to a decade ago. They are a precious part of my stash of notions and trims. I was thinking of incorporating them into an art yarn, but haven't spun it up yet.
