WW: Sheila's Perfume, a Pink Floribunda Rose

Pink Floribunda Rose Photo


"A profusion of pink roses being ragged in the rain speaks to me of all gentleness and its enduring."
 - William Carlos Williams

Getting rained on during my summer trip to Longwood Gardens wasn't ideal, but at least it paused long enough to let me capture some beautiful flower photos. Rain drops on roses are lovely, aren't they? And so is the sassy scent of Sheila's Perfume, a pale yellow and bright pink floribunda rose.

    The quote is absolutely beautiful and true. I LOVE roses. And we've had weeks of rain here so the only way to photograph them is with rain on them. Beautiful capture!

    At first I didn't notice the yellow in the rose, and then I looked back at it and it really stood out to me. The rose is beautiful.

    That's okay. You don't have to wear lipstick. You have many other lovely things about you; creative energy is perfect.

    Pink is my weakness. Roses were too till I got the man who is allergic to flowers.

    But they are pretty & I simply love your pic.
    I recall how florists iny area uses to sprinkle water on the rose to give this effect.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand.
