Welcome to Bebop's Place

Old fashioned Roses print

Beauty has been defined as "The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality." Since our responses are totally subjective, I can only speak to what moves me.

I want to share the beauty! I have created a variety of floral products for my Zazzle stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, using my original photographs and designs. I am also constantly amazed at the gorgeous floral products available from the rest of the Zazzle community. I am hoping others will enjoy this blog and even be moved to purchase some of these lovely items for gifts or just for the pleasure of having such beauty around.

The heat has returned. I got out early and watered some little lettuce seedlings and all the dahlias. They are finally beginning to bloom, quite a bit later than usual. I still have hopes that they will be spectacular.

Now to the roses...

This elegant tie by Bebops may not be for everyone but would make a great gift for the rose lover or rose grower. It features a repeating pattern of a lovely bouquet of deep red roses on a pure white background.

Late summer seems to be a special time for the little garden creatures. I've been enjoying them so much! Here is a calendar I created for Bebop's Place in celebration of my little friends.




Now more gorgeous roses...

I love this mug (maybe because I'm a mum). It's the "World's Best Mum" rose mug for mums everywhere by Highton Ridley. The red rose is a traditional symbol for love, remembrance and passion. Will you give the love of your life one today?

The apples are ripening on the trees. Soon there will be enough to begin pressing cider. I think I'll make an apple pie today!

It's early morning, the sun is just peaking through the trees and lots of blue jays are squawking out my window which brings to mind this poster I created for Bebop's Place. It features a blue jay who has landed on a porch deck surrounded by flowers. The blue, gray, white and black coloration of the bird is set off by a riot of color. There is a decorative teapot with orange and yellow nasturtiums and a purple petunia. Green leaves complete this kaleidoscope of colors.



Beautiful red rose in full bloom with lingering raindrops with a quote I absolutely love from Abraham Lincoln: "We can complain that rose bushes have thorns. Or we can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses". Attitude motivational inspirational poster print from by Smilin' Eyes Treasures. Nature photography by Susan.




Here is a very creative design from MissPrinteditions. A pile of red rose petals that have been plucked, shown on a background resembling the lining of a natural shell (with silver, black, pearlescent streaks), bears the words, "He loves me, he loves me not..." The card concludes on an upbeat note on the inside but can be freely edited.

Here is another bookmark I created for Bebop's Place. Leda is an antique Damask rose growing in my garden. She dates from the early 1800's. The petals are many and vary in color from blossom to blossom. Creamy pink and often tinged with darker pink, she is also called the Autumn Damask or Painted Damask. This bookmark features her blushing pink scented blossoms floating on a rainbow background.




I really love the subtle hint of blue on this black and white rose photograph. This positively gorgeous poster is available from Rdwnggrl's World.




This Rosy Bower bordered print is adapted from jan4insight's photo of the Albuquerque, NM, Rose Garden at season's peak. This is a place I would love to visit!

One more cool, drizzly, cloudy day and then we are supposed to get our sunny summer back. I picked yet more beans and got them in the freezer.

This guy is definitely not a rose but I wanted to share him. It's a design I was working on for Bebop's Place last night. This brilliantly colored poster features a shiny green, yellow and black grasshopper perched on the purple center of a flower with gorgeous red petals.

Okay, now for some roses...

Here's a spaghetti strap t-shirt available from Designs by Kelly W. Patterson, featuring a print of an original painting by Kelly W. Patterson, entitled "TJ's Rose." The painting depicts a single red rose, signifying loyalty, passion, and undying love, inside a clear glass vase with a blue background, rendered in a impressionistic impasto style using a palette knife. It was originally created as a Valentine's Day gift.




Ask those near and dear to you to be in your wedding with this Coffee Rose design from Will you be my... incorporating a single rose against a satin background. You can change it for any member of your wedding party, Maid of Honor, Reader, Junior Bridesmaid. Send out matching invitations to all.

The heavy rain and winds are finally over but some damage was done to the garden. We spent a lot of yesterday fortifying tomatoes, corn, sunflowers, zinnias and nicotiana that had been knocked down. I hope the roots weren't too disturbed.

Now to roses...

This elegant mug from Bebop's Place features three exquisite scarlet red roses, each with three green leaves, against a black background.




M Le Wallpapers says about this gorgeous mousepad, "I love roses, so here is a beautiful picture of a peach rose".




This is so sweet! A beautiful greeting card from flutterbydesigns for Grandparents Day with a photograph of a single pale pink rosebud on a black background. The text on the front, in white, is, 'To the best grandparents in the world!' and the inside is left blank for your own message.
