Bloggidy, Blog, Blog, Blog!
I remember back 10 or 12 years ago when I first started to hear
the term “Blog” usually referring to political writings. I used to scratch my
head wondering, what the heck is a blog.
It was this strange sounding word I suspected was an acronym, but I soon
came to understand that it is nothing of the sort. In fact, the term "web
log" was renamed "weblog," from which "blog" was
derived.
From 1997 to 2000, there were so few blogs on the Internet that it
was estimated in 1999, the list consisted of only about 23. Bloggers also had to be web designers who
created websites from scratch without many tools at their disposal.
What do you know? In this year of 2012, most everyone I know has a
blog and can manage it with ease. In
fact, our Blogs have become an essential tool for the promotion of our
businesses. They are a free & easy
way to keep our followers up to date on the who, what, when, where & how of
our daily workings. Not to mention they
keep our brains elastic as we stretch our imaginations about what our next
posting will be, as well as keeping our grammar & language skills up to
date.
Well enough of that, because what I really wanted to say was that
I am tickled pink with the way my Spring 2012 season is going and I just wanted
to toot my horn a bit on my Blog.
Enjoy a few sneak peaks of some new flowers I made for a coming photo shoot with Stephanie Williams of This Modern Romance.
Thanks Stephanie!

English Roses are among the most desirable roses to be used in a bridal hairstyle or bouquet. Weddings are planned by the date alone in order to have these delicate & intoxicating beauties showcased in a brides wedding. Unfortunately they are very seasonal with a short window for blooming & do not fend well after being picked.
I have struggled in my own garden for years trying to force as many blooms as possible from the many varieties of David Austin's amazing collection of English roses, spending dreamy hours in my garden tending to my 101 different rose bushes.
At last I have surrendered to Southern California's arid temperatures & have limited my rose collection drastically, giving way to native plants & succulents.
These days my I am revisiting my dreams of English Roses via hand-pressed silk flowers made by hand, with patterns fashioned from blooms picked from my garden.
What a way gorgeous way to have English roses in your hair or bouquet without the stress of not being able to see your headpiece before the day of your wedding.
