Maybe it’s the soft colors, or the whimsical feel. Or maybe it’s how each image captures such a beautiful moment in time.  One thing’s for sure – Alice B. Garden’s images are dreamy and light.  I love the way she makes such  simple things magical!

Get lost in her world ~ Visit her etsy shop, blog, and flickr stream for more inspiration!  And if you are interested in portraiture, please see her amazing work!

Women in Business

davina

Davina has a lovely blog full of amazing images!  There is one particular series that she features every Friday that I look forward to and wanted to share with you -Davina’s Women in Business Series.

Each week, Davina features a woman with her own photography business and she asks the questions that we are all dying to know such as:  How do you create a branding/marketing presence?  What’s your workflow like? What are you most proud of as a business woman? What do you do to keep from feeling overwhelmed?  What 3 products help you stay organized?

And more personal questions: How do you keep your love life fresh and interesting?  What are the 3 most important things you do as a mother?

I love to take a peek into another photographer’s world – you never know what you can learn!

Most of these women featured are pretty established with photography studios and they mainly concentrate on portraiture and weddings, but there is so much to be learned from every type of photography – especially from the female point of view.  Check out her fall lineup of photographers (and submit any questions you may have) here.

Head over to Davina’s women in business series – you won’t be disappointed!

Today, I am inspired by Karen Faulkner and her beautiful original artwork!  Karen loves watercolors, simplicity of form, and a touch of the unexpected.

“I strive to make each piece unique, saying as much as I can in just a few brushstrokes.” Don’t you just love that?  Simple is always best.

a sunday kind of love

I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I’d like to know that it’s more than love at first sight.
And I want a Sunday kind of love.
…..

And my arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to hold.
Oh, and I want a Sunday kind of love

~Etta James

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I instantly fell in love with the above print, I Love New York (2), by Irene Suchocki.

I am reminded of a Sunday Kind of Love …..
