I’m getting ready to crack open the cookbooks and make a few cookies for tomorrow’s Art Walk. Before I go I wanted to share these gorgeous photographs from Toast. Can I wear that robe and live in that house?

Black Door and Planters

martha stewart living: Black Door and Planters

Elisabeth from Black Pearl Press just scanned this photo from Martha Stewart Living in for me! I love the black door with the slate walkway paired with overflowing pots of green. So pretty. I think the key to my patio will be adding layers of planters at different heights.

Flower Pot Window Boxes

I kinda love this idea from Martha Stewart. Terra cotta flower pots placed inside window boxes frames are sweet and different. I can imagine them outside a kitchen window or on a pretty little cottage. The swiss dot curtains makes the photo extra awesome.

Beautiful chevron patterning that made me look twice. The photographs are aerial shots of parking lots in Florida taken by photographer Alex MacLean. Kinda beautiful.

Enjoying Spring In New England

Posted on | April 29, 2009 | 3 Comments

Lobster Boat

One last post for the night. I promised myself I have to exercise everyday for 45 minutes. I didn’t feel like going to the gym tonight so I went out for a long walk while the sun was setting and took photos. I tried to walk fast between shots to get my heart rate up. My favorite shot is above. Below some more photos of Marblehead covered in flowers. I am loving New England in the springtime.

Getting Ready For Marblehead Art Walk

This Friday join me at Foodie’s Feast for the opening of Marblehead’s Art Walk. The Art Walk will showcase a number of local artists featuring their work in many of Marblehead’s local businesses. I’ll be at Foodie’s struting my stuff, selling photos, and serving yummy treats and beverages. I was thinking of making rhubard bars, peanut butter whoopie pies, and something else maybe lemoney. Stay tuned for recipes. I will be selling three different size prints at reduced prices for the Art Walk. Come in and buy a print or two. Prices start at just $10. Look forward to seeing everyone. Drop bye and say hello if your in the neighborhood.

Can’t make the show? Buy my photographs on etsy.com.

Door Sixteen a renovation blogger based in Newburg, New York is doing some work on her garden this spring too! Her backyard is much larger then mine. I’m totally digging some of her inspirations shots. She even has a garden plan. Maybe I should draw something out to help me? Below a few drawing of Oscar de la Renta’s garden plans that appeared in domino. Check out her house renovation and garden plans: doorsixteen.com.
