No Carnations Painted

  Had some fun with a few photos and a few apps!

I loved the way the hats turned out

A small Spring

 

 

It has begun. That point in Winter when the barren trees and occasional snows have worn out their welcome. There are a few scattered warmer days when I yearn to rake leaves or put in the asparagus plugs. But I know it will be in vain. Forgive the following cheekiness.

I have seed packets burning a whole in my pocket.

In an effort to sate this desire I created a little garden on the far end of my work desk.

My desk merely being an old door, it works well for me. I will wrap packages on the floor, I don't care who knows it.

I have violets and orchids and ferns and the tiniest cyclamen you ever did see.

There are spent flowers to snip and watering must be done. So exciting.

Well, for me.

I have two stewards looking over the whole shebang.

Joe and Ruby. What a pair. They could make anything grow anywhere, anytime, anyplace.

For sure.

Shop update

The first of the week's shop update with hopefully more to come. Time willing. I like the animal prints the most which is shocking. Also the elbow patch blazers...love. 

Dispatch from Napa

Some of my favorites shots so far from the Napa Valley.

So much food, wine and beautiful scenery. At some point we stop taking pictures of the grapes : )

Its the middle of  'crush' so everything smells like rotting fruit and fermentation. A smell I think I love now. Cheers!

Nope, not an update...but without a doubt my favorite sold items!

I get a little sad looking through my sold section, but also happy knowing that someone else is loving them as much as I did and it's fun to see the evolution of photography styles.

I'd love to see similar posts from any of you vintage sellers!
