Rose Petals & Macaroons

I hope you are refreshed from your three day weekend and were able to enjoy some downtime along the way.

It was a long relaxing weekend for us and might I add much needed.

During that time, I was able to play.

With contrasts, textures, and colors.

I am still learning about photography after an entire year of taking pictures.

I think that is what I love best about it, there is no limit to what you can achieve through the lens of a camera.

Celebrating Berry Season

One of the best things about summertime are berries.

All kinds of berries.

They make any desert beautiful.

Simply beautiful.

Here, I have used Wilton's red rose petal cupcake liners.

With accents of white rose petals;

And red raspberries looking like jewels.

I complete the presentation with a beautiful white rose.

Elegance does not need to be expensive.

Especially during berry season.

Cranberry Spiral Optic

Here is another glass vase from my cranberry collection.

Today, I fill it with colors to make the hot pink in the cranberry glass pop!

In this photo shoot, I added a vintage rose dish and some cluster earrings from long ago.

In the earrings above, I adore the rose beads and the green, white, and warm color combination used.

This cranberry vase was manufactured by Fenton Glass somewhere between 1938 and 1940.

It is in their Spiral Optic pattern and features a opalescent swirl over a cranberry base glass.

Today I am linking up to:

 

 

From My Heart

I wanted to design something in honor of Memorial Day. 

It comes from my heart.

Sweet Moments

First of all, I would like to thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful comments.  I have tried commenting on blogs and for some reason it would not post.  So I will be wandering around again and hopefully they will have fixed this software bug.

Now. . . on to my newest design.

After visiting and posting about Cathy's rum cakes I was inspired.  

I began with a bordered graphic and then simplified it to just the cake and text for a smaller button.

It is to help as a reminder to savor the sweet moments of today.
