Wilt thou be my Valentine?

 (Kim's hughes texture, hardlight, 30% opacity)

I love it when the grocery store sells bunches of the small, multi-blossomed clusters of spray roses.
I think I may love them more than the elegant long stemmed roses.

When one lonely bloom broke off of a bouquet of grocery store spray roses,
it fit perfectly in this wee, blue, vintage bottle, 
and became the star of this simple valentine vignette.

  1. I'm a sucker for any rose, spray, long stemmed or whatever. This is so feminine. I love that you used a florist "frog" to hold the valentine. Clever idea.

    1. Viv, some people wouldn't "get" rummaging through an antique store for old blue bottles.

  7. Elizabeth, These pictures would make such beautiful Valentine's cards. I'm sure every one of your friends would love an original work of art! The flower frog and the vintage bottle are the perfect accompaniments to this delicate rose and vintage Valentine. Beautiful!

  8. Beautiful series. I like the idea of using the frog to hold the cards. The bottle is very nice. And, I really like the last photo.

  9. Every image is so lovely. I thought as I scrolled through each one was my favorite until I saw the next one! The closeup of the rose probably wins. The delicate pink of your single rose -- luscious. Love the vintage books and valentines, too. Bravo!

    1. Sharon, I do love the last photo of the rose, too. I'm starting to long for my own rose bushes to bloom!

  10. The colors, the old glass bottle, the selected texture.....all came nicely together. I too like the shot from above.

  11. So sweet! That single rose makes the vignette just perfect! Yes, I will be your Valentine. Wouldn't it be fun if we bloggers could exchange Valentines the way we did when we were in school?

  14. Those are all so beautiful I can't pick a favorite. I do like the from above but I really like the second one too.

  15. I, too, prefer the casual type of flowers that are sold as opposed to the dressy, fancy bunches. Your shots are really awesome.
