Two pieces of great news yesterday however ~ first, the Snuff appeared and work on moving the cottage has officially begun! yahooooo! I'll post some photos of the adventure this weekend. It's quite a process, one I found difficult to imagine until seeing it happen!

And second, my photo, w i s h, was chosen for this week's Etsy Finds article in the Storque! another yahoooo!

Wednesday Wonders ~ Cat Ludwig Studios

Wandering through Cat Ludwig's photo studio on Etsy feels like a stroll through the streets and gardens of her hometown...warm and friendly and full of beautiful architecture, flowers and and distinctive visual delights! She captures light and pattern in a uniquely creative way, helping her audience believe they are with her, seeing what her intuitive eye also sees.

Cat describes her search for her subjects as a treasure hunt...and treasures she has found!

Cat is not only a talented photographer, as a person she is encouraging and generous...I am inspired by her and happy to name her among my etsy friends!

Tulips

My passions for color, photography and flowers are reflected here in these
photos of frilly, delicate parrot tulips in early morning sunshine. I almost
always have a beautiful bouquet on my kitchen table.
Happy Spring!
