A patchwork Christmas

Posted on December 24, 2010 by pearlsandprose

Another ornament made by me a long time ago. But I’m OK now. I know that I’m in a much better place and have an awful lot to be thankful for. Everyone, have a very Merry Christmas, or whatever you … Continue reading →

Deck the Halls

Posted on December 23, 2010 by pearlsandprose

Some cookie love

Posted on December 22, 2010 by pearlsandprose

M&m cookies for you! It’s the least I could do, after killin’ your holiday buzz with my tales of Christmas woe. 🙂 There are so many cookie shots on flickr, I thought I’d give it a try. When I viewed … Continue reading →

Spanish Ballroom

Posted on December 16, 2010 by pearlsandprose

I don’t know about you all, but I need a shot of orange to brighten these cold, colorless winter days. It’s also too cold to shoot anything outdoors, so I’m offering up an image from October when things were warmer. … Continue reading →

Coke for Christmas

Posted on December 15, 2010 by pearlsandprose

I love this handpainted Coca-Cola ornament. It’s not an expensive Christopher Radko, but nice just the same. We don’t have a tree up yet, so I affixed it to a garland on the mantel. I shot this with my “good” … Continue reading →

Ornament

Posted on December 14, 2010 by pearlsandprose

Baubles

Posted on December 13, 2010 by pearlsandprose

Happy Monday, everyone. Good weekend? This image of Christmas balls presented a bit of a challenge. The sunlight coming through the French doors was too strong, so I remembered a tip I once read about putting gauzy fabric over the … Continue reading →
