I couldn't decide which photo to post today, so i picked one (well, make that two) of some of the purple around my little studio on the super warm day. 34 degrees, single layer, ice-cold tea.
I always have fun stopping at the local florist over the weekend. I like Dahlias, and i'm noticing i really like purple these days, especially around/in my little studio. I think all these Dahlias may be helping things stay relatively cheery (and healthy).
Hope your weekend was lovely. I did all kinds of good stuff.
Happy second week of October ~ enjoy it. I have a hunch it's going to be lovely.
More soon.
Love to you and yours.
Oh, beautiful photos...you always show how lovely things are around you :) Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

Beautiful flowers and beautiful photos. What camera do you have? I need to buy one soon! My weekend was great with tons of work. I was at a Fair, as you know. Since this iwas the first weekend things were a little crazy and I ended up soooo tired! Hope next will be lighter but with more sales and connections! Now we are permitted to send someone else to be there selling and I can have more time to work on my ceramics and collage paintings! I couldn't send anything for Sunday Sketches nor Sneak Peek Fridays. I hope I can do that next weekend!
Have a lovely week!

these flowers are SO beautiful! I love dahlias, and I adore this color. Such a cool effect with the darker purple in the center, getting lighter toward the edges. How uplifting and inspiring!

Hi! Ooooh, they are lovely, such soft purple, I love how they go from lighter to darker within the same flowers. Dahlias have always been one of my favorite flowers, so fun to hear how they are making you happy! xoFaith

Dear Jacqueline, your Dahlias are so beautiful and they are my favourite Autumn flowers!
I just wanted to tell you that you could choose an image from my Flickr-photostream and I would mount it on wood and of course I would add a touch of vintage beauty for you :-)
Love
Bea
