Maid Monthly - March

March Birthstone poem - the Aquamarine

"A March born shall always be
Soothed by Aqua, gem of sea
This mermaid's treasured stone you wear
Will bring happiness, love, affection and care."

Each month has a designated flower and a crystal which are thought to have characteristics which may be "inherited" by whomever is born in that month.

March's birth flower is the Daffodil and the birthstone is Aqua.

The Daffodil's meanings include Rebirth, Domestic Happiness, Respect, Regard and Friendship.

The Aqua stone is associated with Faithfulness, Courage and Friendship.

This sweet maid has been designed to be easily adapted for finishing as a small ornament or as a card topper.
