{Tuesday: Photographer: Carol-Ann Berry}

My post for today: Carol-Ann-Berry Photography,
I saw this first art print on the front page of etsy and thought that it was so lovely/bookmarked it. For more of her work go to: www.CarolAnnBerry.etsy.com
She also has a blog: http://carol-ann-berry.blogspot.com/
So dreamy.
This just reminds me of quiet summer days, when the world is so warm that work seems only relatively important, and in the sun, the colors of everything seem to be melted a bit and warmed through. These are good days to spend with Eddie and take long, long walks and hang laundry on the clothes line and never think about wearing shoes.

This reminds me of those scenes from 'the Sound of Music' (the first one being when Maria arrived at the house/was dancing/singing down the avenue and the second when she had made all of those clothes for the children of of the curtains and the were going out for their picnic: that sounds pretty good right now, the weather people are talking about snow flurries for tonight and I cannot stop dreaming of spring and summer).

Another summer image. As a little kid one of the best things in the world was when the dandelions came in full force (actually it still is: I'm keeping a weather eye out for them). We never, ever spray them, how insulting. I love to look at the happy little flowers and their seedy-ghosts. I don't like them taking up residence in my vegetable beds, but that's what weeding was invented for. Besides, crab grass is much, much more of a pain to get rid of.

{Tues/Wed: Artist+Photographer+Etsian---Marilyn Healey}

Well, yesterday went like a flash, and I realized really, really late last night that I hadn't posted anything for the days topic, however I was just bushed enough not to want to assemble another article. So today I thought I would do a little of both topics.
This artist/photographer/etsian is Marilyn Healey.
I stumbled across her lovely little etsy shop last year: { www.MemrieMare.etsy.com }.
She also has a blog { http://marilynhealey.blogspot.com/ }
and a flickr page: { http://www.flickr.com/photos/memriemare/ }
I'm not sure what all she has done professionally, but I know that her work has been featured in the Somerset publications.
Pretty.

I have one of her handmade flowers. I attached it to a cream coloured paper lantern hanging in my craft corner.

Pretty vintagy trims. She used my little roses on the middle tag. :):):):)

More lovely tags. She used my posies on these too.

Another very pretty handmade flower.

{TUESDAY: PHOTOGRAPHER: REBECCA THUSS}

This photographer is amazing. These photo's are so gorgeous, and there are many more on her portfolio site:http://rebeccathuss.com
Definitely go check out the rest of her collection.

I love this idea. I'm a creative craft junkie, and I'm crazy for gift wrap. This is from a Martha Stewart Weddings magazine of the past if I don't miss my guess. It's an article on making custom gift wrap. Sweet.

More sweet. Where do you find lolli's like this?? I love gourmet candy too.

Imagine walking down this path with the birds chirping and a hushed breeze brushing the tops of the trees.

The ground is covered with snow here. It's very cold.

I'm fanatizing of the dreamy summer day that is encapsulated in this snap shot.

I've seen these before: where you line the envelopes with a nice paper, sometimes a patterned paper. This is on my list of projects to do.

These sweets buffets are such a visual feast.

Candy makers infuse such brilliant colors and textures into their creations.

It's such a reminder of being a little kid and going into five-and-dime stores and buying penny candy (we were lucky enough to have one of those antique establishments still existing in the 90's--I still make pilgrimages over to the shop :)).

How delightful is this shot??

I love this cupcake art.

I love the wrappers.

Sweet, sweet, sweet.

still life=berries

I have seen this paper before, that she would have used to make this set, it's enough to make me want to go get some. So pretty.

What an artist.

{Tuesday: Design-Photo-Art/My Cakies}

I wandered over to this blog from ohhellofriend.blogspot last night.
I probably spent 2 hours looking through the whole blog.
It's definitely a keeper. Her photo styling is lovely. So I thought I would post a few of her pics.
She definitely qualifies under all of the 'Tuesday requirements' (designer-photographer-artist)
Her etsy shop can be found here: http://www.mycakies.etsy.com/
All photo's are property of Ruby at http://mycakies.blogspot.com/
Her daughter: so sweet. You've got to go and see the creations that she makes for her two daughters. They're just so great.

Looking at her lovely garlands makes me want to make some. I haven't made any for a while.

Especially this one, made from cupcake liners.

I love it.

The work of her hands: cute little flowers that she makes and sells through etsy and other vendors. http://www.mycakies.etsy.com/

These baskets would have been great for Monday's color post. These are fun. And they would make great Easter baskets/party favors. I'm always dreaming of new party favors and doubt if I will ever have enough parties to use them all.
