Welcome to Bebop's Place

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.

It's the first day of autumn and it is really beautiful here. I plan to go wandering with my camera to try to capture this magical time of year. I took this photo yesterday morning and made a poster for Bebop's Place.

This postage stamp by World of Nature is really exquisite. It's a photograph of a pretty pink fuschia flower against a black background.




TitiaG, at GoodLifeDesign, said about this mousepad: "I have a very big garden with lots of flowers and fruit trees and they display wonderful colors during spring, summer, autumn and sometimes even winter. I've tried to find all their names and with most I succeeded. This one is a wild growing clematis".

It's the last day of summer. It seems to have gone by too fast. I am posting this thank you card I made for Bebop's Place. For me, it captures the essence of summer. It features a garden full of light, shadow and color. Orange and gold daylilies are set off by pale lilac and dark magenta phlox. Many shades of green frame the lovely colors.




This elegant, vintage inspired wedding invitation, available from Audrey Jeanne's Expressions, is a hybrid of original watercolor artwork by Audrey Jeanne Roberts and vintage elements.




This vintage poster by tjustleft with partially colorized black and white photo of Compass Flower is really fascinating to stare at!

It is sunny and clear but quite cool here. There was scattered frost in the valleys though our hilltop was spared. We will have to start bringing in our house plants today.

Meanwhile the flowers are still blooming. I took this photo last week and made a poster for Bebop's Place as a celebration of a sunny summer day in layers of color. Yellow marigolds are lowest, then come red and pink zinnias, and over them all is a brilliant blue sky with one fluffy cloud. Tiny apples hang from a tree in the distance.

I love the simple design of this note card from Doodle Daddles. It's a hand drawn doodle of three yellow wild flowers in a field of grass.

I am cheerleading my dahlias this year, trying to inspire them to bloom like they had in the past 3 years. Kelgai Ann, the lovely pink and white waterlily dahlia, was so gorgeous last year and I featured her on this mug for Bebop's Place. This year, the buds are just barely starting to open and we're past the halfway mark in Septmber. Sigh.

These are blooming right now, the queens of the garden! Brighten your day with this cheerful mug by Bebops which features a colorful design of stargazer dahlias in brilliant colors of pink, yellow, orange, gold, fuschia and maroon on a pure white background. More dahlias are scattered inside. They are called stargazers because, unlike the traditional dahlia, the petals have a pointy star shape.

Autumn is in the air and we pressed another 14 quarts of apple cider yesterday. It may be too early to think about spring, but here is a calendar that really celebrates springtime. When the daffodils bloom, we know that spring has arrived in all her glory! I created this 2011 Daffodil Calendar from my original photographs of some of my lovely narcissus blooms for Bebop's Place to celebrate the season with twelve exquisite photographs of narcissus varieties.
