FRIDAY FLOWERS! :)

This week has been a crazy week for me, good crazy, but I have been neglecting pretty much everything in prep for my kids coming home from college :) (YAY!) Yep, as much work as it is I am very happy they are coming home and we will get to spend most of the summer here in Oregon together.


Well, before I show you this week's Friday Flowers, I wanted to say Thank You to a few people who have been kind enough to share the love this week :)


First, thanks to Annette at So Many Memories Blog for blogging about my Vintage Etsy Shop Closing Sale :)


Thank you to Steve at Photo Grunt Blog for posting my Willamette Falls at Sunset photo on his blog :)


And, last but by no means least, thank you to Mary at WingsDove for including my photo Beautiful Bluebells in the Sunshine in her Bluebells and Buttercups Treasury, please go check it out it is really beautiful :)


So, I am very excited to show you this week's Friday Flowers which are some more of the lovely ground cover that is now flowering in my Garden :)

Sun (YAY!) shimmering thru the oak tree creates gentle shadows :)

This beautiful Pink ground cover is "Soapwort" (not really a nice name for such a pretty flower is it?) "Saponaria Ocymoides" well that one sounds more like it :)

I love the happiness they exude, the little peeks of purple centers :)

Hey, Bluey you're surrounded :)

Very Pretty :)

" Ajuga" So much texture and deep colour :)

"Lithodora" Vivid Blue :)

I love Lithodora because it is an evergreen. So, even if there are no flowers I still get beautiful foliage in the middle of winter.

I love the define deeper blue lines that run thru them.

Technically a weed, I really enjoy having the "Common Blue Violet" in my garden but it does have a tendency to take over, pretty though.

This is a creeping Phlox. I took these photos one day in between rain showers and I love the little raindrops balanced in the petals :)

I really hope you enjoyed the mix of ground covers :)

I'm in a Treasury and Closing Shop!

Happy Thursday :)

A couple of things today to share with you all.

First I have a piece of artwork in a Treasury, "Pink Splash". Thanks to Sagescupboard for adding my work to this incredibly "PINK" Treasury go check it out HERE There are some beautiful pink items to see :)

On another note, I have decided to close down my Vintage Etsy Shop :(

Even though it is the most profitable one of my stores, I really do not have the time to juggle 4 Etsy shops and do them all Justice. It is a tough decision but I want to concentrate more on my Art and my Photography, a girl just can't do it all.

So, what I thought would be fun was to have a "NAME YOUR OWN PRICE" Sale :)

If you are interesting in any of the items in my Vintage Shop, just convo me and make me an offer :)

Here are a few of the items in my Vintage Shop still waiting to go to new homes.

There are plenty more so please go check them out at Vintage T. and make an offer :)

Don't forget to enter the chance to win one of Sherri Pekks wonderful Art Card in this week's Giveaway on my Blog, check out details and interview HERE :)

Hope you all have a Wonderful Day!

Happy Painting/Creating! :) T.
