in bloom

I was not expecting this at the park yesterday, or else I would have brought my real camera. These were all excitedly taken with my iPhone as Jolly and I rushed around the park looking for all the blooming flowers and plants. I've never been so excited for spring before! Perhaps it's because now I have a shop and a reason to take more photography outside.



There were even some cherry blossoms in the park. I can't wait to head to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in a few weeks to see the cherry blossoms there. I missed them last year.

If you're hankering for spring like I am, check out my shop, where I have loads of flower photos sure to get you feeling the warmth.

shop opens today

My shop is officially open today!

This has got to be the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever done! The past month leading up to today, trying to finish getting everything ready late last night, waking up hours earlier than usual to begin listing. Listing itself! Crazy.

Make sure you head over to my shop! It's going to be a crazy day. I don't think I will list everything today, so if you don't see something you like right away, stay tuned because there is more to come.

it's beginning to look a lot like spring-mas!

The tree that was budding was totally in the shade, so I appologize for the poor photos, but look! It's blooming! I just had to show you. It's so exciting. I can't wait to see more.

wake up and smell the clover

I know I'm just blogging about a little clover plant, but Jolly's been sniffing it ever since it came home, so I think it's quite cute. It also gives me the perfect oppertunity to plug the two framed pieces that the clover sits in front of. On the left is a photograph from byCole called "a bunch a bunch." On the right is a collage print by Swallowfield (a.k.a. Jennifer Judd-McGee), who is one of my very favorite artists. I bought this print from her at the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn in 2007. I couldn't find the exact print on her Etsy shop.

alstroemerias

These alstroemerias were a gift from the boy. I love it when he surprises me with flowers, and he has such great taste in them. Actually, he surprised me twice because yesterday morning while he was walking the dog, he also bought a clover plant!




One of these shots came out more blue and one came out more red, I'm trying to decide which I prefer, how about you?
