****WELCOME FRIENDS****
I am artist of texture and color. I enjoy working with textiles, mixed media and the graphic arts. I am an avid cottage gardener with a love for pass along plants and big fluffy pink peonies and pink roses. Many of my tangible creations reflect my love of the garden and all its wonderful colors. I have been selling my creations online since 2002 beginning as a hobby. After 10 years I quit the day job to pursue my art as a full time passion.

11 June 2014

It's going to rain...

well, the forecast says rain tomorrow. Not unusual for June in Oregon, but we have had a beautiful month so far So with the rain on the way I decided it was time to grab a bucket and fill it with roses for a few bouquets to enjoy while it rains the next couple of days.

 Abraham Darby, Mary Rose, Glamis Castle, Shakespeare, Eden Rose, Angel Face, Golden Showers, and carnations...there may be a mystery rose or two in there.

 I loved this bucket full of roses so much, I decided to just leave it as it was and place on the dining table. No fuss with special arrangements!

This is my monster Sally Holmes rose at her peak. She will bloom all season, but the first show is the best. And to think this was just tiny 4" seedling when I bought her......

That Sally Holmes is amazing. Is it a floribunda or a shrub rose? I am in Portland, too, and the black spot is such a struggle. Yours look stunning.

Those roses are just amazing! How I wish I could smell them because they must be so wonderful.

What a dream garden you have. I'd love to be able to walk out into the garden and gather such pretty roses. The Sally Holmes is amazing. I need to see if I can find it here in TX.
We had a nice rain last night. Would welcome more if you want to send some down to TX. '-)
Happy 4th of July.

Isn't it amazing how a simple thing like an old bucket is suddenly dressed for fine dining once filled with gorgeous roses! I love the way it looks on your table.

So pretty! :)
