About
Creative life = neglected house. OK, so my floor may not get mopped weekly but I do get to play! Love to spend time photographing pretty images, foraging for treasures at flea markets, addressing envelopes in Copperplate script, sewing silk ribbon roses, decorating my home and cuddling Miss Gracie, the world's smartest cat!

  • Keeping Up
    on May 10, 2013 in flowers

    Dream Gerberas Rather than making the usual morning trip to Trader Joe's for groceries and flowers, Gracie and I slept in. By the time I got there late in the afternoon, the best flowers were gone and they only had a few orange gerberas. While the...

    on Jan 31, 2013 in gerbera daisies
    Photo Challenges I've spent several hours at preschool this week taking photos for a brochure. Can I just say it's like herding kittens?! I have to hand it to both parents and teachers as it can be exhausting being with little people. They move so f...

    on Jan 28, 2013 in gerbera daisies flowers
