He Loves Me – He Loves Me Not, Pick a Vintage Daisy

Did you play the game as a child? You pick a daisy, then pluck each little petal, repeating alternately “he loves me, he loves me not.” If you ended with a single petal you were thrilled if it happened to be a “he loves me” petal!

Now that we’re grown up, we no longer play the game. But we can pick some darling vintage daisy items to remind us of this fun childhood memory.
