notes from my desk
























































i went and bought some peonies this weekend~ just the fix i need until ours come to bloom. this steamy weather and the arrival of the sugar ants, are a good indication, our peony garden will bloom to it's fullest. fingers crossed.

i have a set of my notecards, that i will put into my shop tomorrow. and i am so happy to say, they include a few rainy flowers and the beloved strawberry cards. sold! thank you so very much.
i will have a few more later next week. but just email me of you want this set, i just haven't had time to photograph them today yet. trust me, they are so pretty. ; )


just cleaning my desk and easing into the week.

happy day, sweet friends.

I really think that peonies are my favorite flower, closely followed by magnolias.

I adore your delicate and beautiful photos.

Your photography is so lovely. Someday, if I ever get to live in the Pacific Northwest, I will grow these in my garden...someday...

Christina,
One day I will learn to take photos like this. Until then I will just drool over yours. These peonies are just stunning. Will these photos be in your shop as well?
