This morning I heard the very welcome and sweet opening notes of the first robin’s song this season! A day earlier than last year, which was earlier than the year before. This, of course, means that soon I’ll rise before the sun each morning, recording our glorious dawn chorus to share. This makes me positively giddy! To celebrate, here are some images I look last spring, lilac and Blirieana plum blossoms from our garden.
These four images are also now in my shop, individually and as a collage.
AND, I made a little hearts-and-flowers download for you, for your Valentine’s projects. You can download it here. (They are sized for a McGill 1 1/4″ heart punch, in case you have one. Personal usage only, thanks.) Enjoy!
Wishing you a Sunday filled with wonder and wonderful things!
love,

p. s. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic response to Eline’s book. She shared your comments with her publisher to inspire them to do an English language version!
Absolutely beautiful, can't take my eyes off those beautiful flowers and hearts. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
Oh wow those are so gorgeous! I've been sick with a cold and really bummed out lately but this was a real bright spot in my day, thank you so much for sharing and thank you for the gift as well! :) I'm so sorry I haven't had a chance to answer your email yet. The movers will be here Monday morning to pack up our house but I hope to get back to you really soon. Hope all is well! *hugs*
This is so beautiful! I'm so glad I found you and your Etsy shop. I added you to a few of my treasuries…your photography is amazing and feminine! Now that's what I like! (*_*)
Those flower hearts are so cute! What a fun idea, you do come up with so many awesome ways to display your flowers!
I'm so glad to see the days becoming longer, if only for a few minutes!
Dear G,
How lovely to see the first signs of spring, it is amazing how quickly this year seems to be zooming.
I love your images and blossoms today.

Dear Georgianna,
what beautiful hearts you made and so nice to share it with us!
Love your images!
Have a wonderful sunday,
Hugs,
Yvonne
Your pictures are beautiful as always! I envy you and your birds – we still have enormous snowdrifts!!
I can't answer you last e-mail: I tried twice and I had an "your-message-could-not-be-delivered-to-one-or-more-recipients" reply!! Why??
Wow, beautiful work Georgianna, I love them – so perfect. Wonderful processings and tones. I cannot stop looking at them :)
These are so sweet and charming Georgianna! Perfect for up-coming Valentine's day. I felt a bit of spring this week too, I can't wait until the sun (I assume I won't hear Robins here… :)) wakes me up in the morning. Hope you have had a good week so far and wish you a great week ahead! xoxo
What a pretty post. It seems we are all longing for spring. The nice thing about blogging is you get to see spring in bloom before it actually gets here and then experience it all again when it comes. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos and for the download.

Hello G
Robins are one of the first harbingers of spring here so I anticipate hearing that welcome song myself.
The flower hearts are pretty, an imaginative way to use the blossoms and thanks for the download gift.
You are most generous to your blogging friends and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say how much we appreciate your gifts.

As always just gorgeous. We have seen Robins in the trees. They came with Cedar Waxwings looking for left over berries. It is much too cold for them yet.
Hi G, I've been MIA from blogland for a little while and every time I come back to visit your blog it brings a great big smile to my face…your love hearts are beautiful and just what I needed over on this side of the frigid, grey world.

How beautiful to hear the robins song in February and those flower images are gorgeous. I hope you have a blessed week. Pamela
Dear Georgianna, Seeing your sweet lilac hearts reminds me of the lovely post you did last year of the different lilac varieties..looking forward to Spring and the beautiful photos you will take.
Wow, what gorgeous spring flowers! And your little heart flowers are so sweet! Thanks for sharing them:)
I just love all your photos! These flower hearts are so so gorgeous! So nice of you to give us this free heart downlod
Such pretty images Georgianna! I love the flower hearts. Now i have to go find one of those punches, ao I can make some pretty confetti! ;)
Such a sweet message – loving it! xo
This is such a beautiful sight today, G.! We had another 6" or so of snow last night so I needed a breath of spring to get me through the day! I can't wait for the robins to return … they are my favourite bird. Have a lovely week! xo
Oh, lovely spring! Love your images & thanks for sharing! I haven't seen any robins here yet, but I'll be on the look out! Wishing you a happy week ahead! xo Theresa

Thanks for sharing.

You never disappoint with your stunning photos. Beautiful and thank you for sharing. Take care.
Beautiful photos, Georgianna. No robins sighted here, I'm afraid. I just have to remind myself that in a few short weeks, the worst will be over and spring will be that much closer!

Hi sweetie.
First look at this post and I'm in love. I love the flowers, and the hearts! They're so beautiful! And you took the time to arrange them so beautifully into "xo" and heart shapes! What's more lovely about them is that they're all fresh flowers! From your garden, I assume? :)
If only my boyfriend would find these beautiful hearts and print 'em out for me on a card or something! Haha. I always stumble upon beautiful things, and wished I could make them for a girl instead of my boyfriend. ;)
Hope you had a good Sunday, G! xx
Thanks Georgiana for sharing your beautiful work with us. If only I was artistic enough to do something with them, however I will still enjoy them. :)
You know what, the first picture is my favourite. So simple, like a sea of flowers and really stunning. Have a wonderful week, Love from London xo
Are the hearts edible ? :) Hope you have a cheery week. L
this is a combo of two of my fave things!! soo beautiful, G!!!
Special gifts for Valentine's day. Beautiful work!
These are so gorgeous. I too arranged some flowers into a heart shape late last year with Valentine's Day in mind. But I suspect it's going to pounce on me before I've had a chance to get my head around the date! I hope you are having a lovely week.
These are just beautiful! My little girl is crazy for hearts and I shared your images with her. She loved them! Keep up your gorgeous work and thank you for visiting my blog often. It's so lovely to see your comments. xo
I LOVE these beautiful heart images and thank you so much for the lovely pdf!! Have a lovely week Georgianna!
Oh G, your blooming images are so lovely. And the pretty hearts you have left for a gift, is a wonderful thing for you to share with us. Thank you!
I cannot wait to have the robins return to the garden again. I haven't seen any yet, but I am sure it will be soon. I love it when my friends come back home.
sending hugs…
Excellent collages and shapes- everything is so cheery and light here. I'm loving the little cutouts!! Thanks for the little spot of light in my dreary New England days….. :)))
I too was awaken by Robin's singing yesterday morning!! At first I though they were blackbirds… but still a bit early to hear their sweet song. Isn't it just grand!
Thanks so much for your lovely comments… I'm always so happy when I see you've come for a "visit."
Blessings!
Ann
Georgianna your photos and hearts are so beautiful. I'll have to work backwards here and check out other posts I've missed. ♥
Georgianna these are so beautiful!! So looking forward to spring and all those beautiful pics from your garden!!
Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful if they did publish it in English?
I can't wait to hear your birdsong soon. We are months away from it, I'm afraid.
Oh so very pretty! And a gorgeous freebie, I wish my printer was working for these!
Dear Georgi
Hearts and flowers together – so perfect
I shall print these off for some cards
Thank you and happy valentines day
Love Kat xox
I love these hearts made of flowers g! You have inspired me to try some myself as I will have lots of blooms before long.
Your upcoming travels sound so exciting, and I will be looking forward to seeing the lovely work you create while there. Happy travels and happy Spring!
