{photography & daisies}

Hello there!!!
How are you?!?!
I have to tell you....we've had one crappy weekend:)
But i'm not lettin' it keep me down!! At least Friday started off nice:)

{PS.....if you're new here be sure to enter my give-away}

You know how much I love the beach and so we went there a weekend or so ago.
I was hoping to get some new photographs to frame for the laundry room. {I promise it's ALMOST done}
At first I thought I get some that I would use as black & white....but I really got to thinking.... and .....
I just don't think I am in love with black & white photography. I really want to love it......
I certainly think it has it's place in vintage photographs and very select others.
But for me, I love to see the colors of the water and sand together...
What do you think?????

Here are a few spring photographs I took at the local beach....

I am not a professional by any means....but I don't claim to be:) I just like to tinker!!

I don't know what it is about the blue sky and water to me......but all I know is I love it:)

It's the same inspiration that I used to come up with the new simpledaisy styling:) blue skies....water....ahhhh.....calm~

Isn't it funny how we always try and go back to times long ago.....vintage style photographs....black & white photographs.....

maybe people just really long for a by gone era?!?!

I do love .....black & white photographs of people, however:)

Here is my husband and I....he is barely smiling....because he is going to scream if I ask him to smile for one more photograph:)
Here I am contemplating how much I love the water and in which direction I want to take simpledaisy......maybe I was feeling that I just want to explore lots of directions:) Or I am thinking....I really just want to go and enjoy some vino:)


Then there are certain photos that just lend themselves to black & white...
But I don't know....unless it's people....I am just not a huge fan of black & white photography!
How weird is that:)

Ano

Another thing I really LOVE are flowers.....

My favorite flower.....is....drum roll please......

the DAISY!!!

how did you ever guess:)

Well guess what.....here is the one of the most simplest and cutest crafts one could ever do......Yes....

hot glue or E6000 glue a happy little daisy to your beachy flip flops....

waa....laa!!!

Cute and simple daisy flip-flops:)OH OH and stay tuned.....

I was inspired to make these as part of my dinner party planning theme....

I have a theme to EVERYTHING:)
this year's dinner party is beachy daisies:) The party is next weekend!!!!

You'll have to wait to see the crafts and tablescaping I did for that!!!!

Anywho.....

These flip flops just make me happy!!!

Oh & I have to say....

I did a shot in black & white for curiosities sake....

and I kind of like it....very nostalgic feeling.....just the way daisies make me feel:)

Hope you have a very happy week!!! I am just hoping the sun will show it's pretty little face again!!!

OH and I can't wait to see who wins the simpledaisy earrings!!! I really appreciate all of your feedback!!!!
