Stop and Smell the Roses

I found these "Rose Partners" fascinating, as they were not only growing from the same bush, but the same branch.

Nothing is sweeter than a peach colored rosebud...screams feminity.


This crossbreed is called "Rock and Roll" but to me should be called Peppermint Patty.


The "Lemon & Orange" almost looks delicious enough to eat.

Treasury Time!

So I have been bored at work today...and when that happens, Etsy happens! Creating treasury's is such a fun way to see all the great items being created out there. Let me tell you, there are a lot of talented people walking this earth. Curation Nation's weekly challenge involved the use of this beautiful pink rose hat (which I need to buy I think) and from that I decided to go all ROSES and all PINK. Then the inner-geek in me created TECH.NOL.O.GY all the while singing Daft Punk in my head! I also showed some support to my newest team Tree of Treasury's! I felt it was time for a little tea after feeling a lil blue.

Tonight I will be in the studio and will have some more photos for your viewing pleasure, until then...XOXO!

Me and My Love of Lilies

You are probably sick of seeing all these lily shots, but I have to admit...they are my FAVORITE flowers EVER. Jennings Park in Marysville had such an amazing collection that it was like I was in heaven. Please enjoy! Also take a peek at this treasury I created with other fellow etsy sellers and their amazing lily photographs.

Given Another Chance

While cruising Etsy I find a lot of items that have been UPCYCLED, RECLAIMED, RECYLCED, REUSED...and all of these items, well they are AWESOME! Yesterday I created a treasury of all items that have been given another shot at life and not just finding their way into the dumpster. I guess I was on to something because today in the Etsy Finds email/blog appropriately "Play It Again, Sam" they too, took the time to blog about how great these redone items are. Of course they found even more way cool items that had me drooling and wishing they were in my possession. I totally am obessed with the cast iron bathtub couch (who knew?)! These reclaimed items may have a bit higher price tag, but totally worth it when you consider all the talent, time and creativity that has been put forth.

Please enjoy these items as much as I did and hey, you might get some gift giving ideas for that person who has everything!

New Obsession

So when I am not taking photos or adding more items to my Etsy Store, I am busy creating Treasury Lists! It is so much fun to see all the work that is out there..be it jewelry, art, clothing etc! Here is the link to all the Treasury's I have created so far on Etsy: Ginger Girl Treasury's.

I was lucky enough to have my 'Mon Cherie Amour' Treasury's make the FRONT PAGE of Etsy over the weekend! Total shock and such and honor. This gave those sellers an amazing opportunity to have their items seen by EVERYONE right off the bat.

So click away and enjoy!

Playing in the "Studio"

Enameled Lily

Sweet Bird

Every once in a while I like to "tweak" my photos a little bit. I love how just a little "editing" can create a whole new image and another piece of art.

Best Date Night Ever

Kendall and I went and had an early dinner from Cristiano's at Jennings Park last night. My hidden agenda was to lose myself in the Master Garden which resides there. I think the fact I brought my camera to dinner gave it away though :)

But...we were both in for the most amazing treat. The garden was in full bloom with every kind of bloom imaginable. When I walked into the garded, there was a lily garden like I have never scene. Lily being my favorite flower...I was obsessed with all the different varieties. Next there was vegetables of all sorts, planted in all different kinds of containers. The rose gardens smelled delicious. After an hour of delight, I peeled myself away...but not before taking 175 pictures!!

Please enjoy these little bits...

XOXO
