Delphinium Garden Inspirations

When I find a garden that truly inspires, it is so easy to begin the design process.  Especially when I am listening to some lovely music as I paint.

Bees hum about pointing to the sweetest smelling flowers.

Delphinium...a flower that is so intricate in design, yet sturdy enough to grow so tall it towers over all the other flowers in the garden.

Inspiration followed and I designed a collection called Delphinium Gardens. 

I painted a few watercolor illustrations

and turned them into fabric collections.  I am still working on some ideas for Daisy Garland fabric collection.

The flowers in the gardens are so inspirational, I can't stop designing.

The First day of May Inspiration

Happy May Day. Dancing around the Maypole is such a lovely tradition to welcome May.

When I was a little girl, I remember a sweet tradition in our neighborhood.  Your neighbor would hang a sweet bouquet in a basket on your door to welcome in the fist day of May.

Things are getting greener by the day here, and the pink blossoms are blooming.  A perfect first day of May.

I've been painting geraniums the last few days, so excited about the beautiful flowers yet to bloom.

Let me hang this basket on your door today, wishing you the loveliest first day of May.

Spring Inspiration

During one of our recent snowstorms I was in search of Spring inspiration,

so I took a drive and went to visit Tower Hill Botanical Gardens.

I love the snow, but it does make me miss Spring sometimes.  We are expecting more snow this week.

Today is Mosaic Monday, and I am joining Mary from Little Red House.

I treated myself to these lovely papers, ribbons and frames from French Kiss Collections .
