Fresh Roses

"Flowers seem intended for the
solace of ordinary humanity."
         ~John Ruskin

   Around this time of year my Mum and I love to start browsing through all of the new Christmas decorations starting to appear in shop windows. We go to boutiques, department stores, and flower shops soaking up all of the sparkle and evergreen like we're starving for it! During one such outing last week we went into a little flower shop and towards the back we saw the most beautiful fresh roses that either of us has ever seen! The lady cutting flowers for bouquets told us their name but of course I have forgotten it! My Mum turned to me and said if I buy some you have to photograph them! So here are the photos of our gorgeous three pink roses purchased while Christmas shopping! I also have some exciting news - I found a printer! I still have a lot of work to do but the Jennelise etsy store is now in sight so stay tuned!

    I know - I love the color of them!! I think the pale yellow and green exterior petals that turn pink inside are so beautiful!!! Thankyou for your compliments about the drawing! It is a design I sent away to a greeting card company years ago - they didn't want it but I liked it :)
