Today is looking like a gorgeous day - a little cooler and lots of sun. We are starting to find a few boletus mushrooms in the woods. We had a fantastic omelet with them along with some fresh herbs from the garden yesterday.
Now to the roses...
What could be lovelier than a bouquet of old-fashioned roses? This binder from Bebops Place displays an exquisite design of red, pink and white antique roses set off by a black background. What a special way to keep your memories! Customize the text to suit your needs.
Wow, what an elegant "save the date" stamp from Holidayhearts! Two red roses on a gradient silver background with silver gradient framing. Customize with your choice of text and fonts.
Here is a lovely pink rose poster from ritmophoto. This is a wonderful photograph.
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.

I really love the wildflowers of summer. I took this photo of Queen Anne's Lace yesterday, did some editing, and turned her into a poster for Bebops Place. This lovely, lacy white flower is also called the wild carrot. It was introduced and naturalised in North America, where it is often known as "Queen Anne's lace". It is so called because the flower resembles lace; the red flower in the center represents a blood droplet where Queen Anne pricked herself with a needle when she was making the lace. The single flower head on this poster, with it's hundreds of tiny blossoms, is set against a background of green, yellow and black.
Just look at the lovely pink roses on this floral postage stamp by Patcallum!
This lovely yellow rose against a dark background from SusansZooCrew is so striking, and perfect for that special someone! Or use it to convey sympathy, friendship, affection, nature, just about every occasion. Wear or use it proudly!

This hot summer with just enough rain is making the tomato plants go crazy! We have to put more stakes up today.
This hoverfly is visiting Rosa Mundi, an exquisite vintage rose dating back to 1581. Her pink and white stripes and lovely, fragrant scent make her the star of the rose garden. I wish she was a repeat bloomer but she only blooms in June here. I immortalized her and her hoverfly friend for Bebops Place on this poster.
This 2011 calendar by Nationalpark_t_shirt features some great floral photography of roses, crocus, daffodils, tulips, irises, day lilies and pansies.
Kayatiyu offers a beautiful deep, dark red rose, rich with color, on a coffee mug. It makes a great mug for a rose gardener, members of a rose society, botanical garden, native plant club, a florist, or anyone who loves roses. Text can be customized. Art from an original watercolor titled “Dark Rose”, © Sandy Long. Want this or a similar design on another item? Browse my Kayatiyu Store. Kayatiyu means to have a beautiful form.

It should be a hot one today. I went out early and picked cucumbers, hot peppers and dill for our third batch of deli pickles. I also got green beans and broccoli.
My namesake is blooming! This rose is really named Bebop. I used her on a birthday card I made for Bebops Place. I'll probably be making a variety of cards from this one.
I really love this exquisite magnet from Littlewingdesign. What a gorgeous pink old fashioned rose, 'Aloha', surrounded by antique style white vignette. Fill in names of bride and groom and the date. © Little Wing Photography & Design. Customizable.
This will definitely grab some attention...a cobalt blue rose note card by kithseer

Today I have to leave my hill and go into town for groceries and books from the library. It's always a shock to enter "civilization" again.
Here are more roses...
These slip ons from Bebops Place feature two delicate little red rose buds on a lemon yellow background.
Deemac1 offer us this pink rose with rain or dew drops on a black and white background. The selective coloring really creates an interesting composition.
This thank you card by elizdesigns is just exquisite! A beautiful closeup photograph of a white rose bud with the text Thank You. Can be used for any occasion.

It is very early, just getting light, and the birds are beginning to sing. It makes me think of a beautiful, mystical scene I saw a few mornings ago. I went out at sunrise and took a picture of this full moon still showing among pink and orange clouds. Naturally I made some products for Bebops Place including this friendship card.
I think this stylised Art Nouveau rose shirt by ArtformTheHeart is so cool!
EnglishGardener offers us a keychain / keyring with a beautiful close up photo of an apricot coloured rose. The petals create such a lovely abstract.

New month. We are enjoying lots of goodies from the garden. Last night I made a hot and spicy stir fry with our fresh green beans, scallions, hot peppers and cilantro and served it with a chilled cucumber salad. I know it's subjective, but it makes me feel like I am absorbing the earth's energy when I eat this just-picked produce.
August is still summer and rose time. I made this long sleeve black pullover for Bebops Place. In a way, I think it looks like a rose in a black lapel (although it's really a white stock flower in a t-shirt).
Just look at these gorgeous roses on this poster by SweetRascal! She says... I just adore the colors of this rose and can't help but think of Strawberries and Cream! Picture taken at the Festival of Roses May 02, 2009.
The pattern of petals on this pink rose keychain by ullahennig take on a wonderful abstract quality.
