Hello, my friends! Did you have a lovely weekend? I hope so. I’ve brought some rosy, romantic images from Paris to get us in the mood for Valentine’s Day. They’re also featured in three new Paris postcard sets, filled with flowers, romance and love:(Some of you have seen them already in my shop but I’m just getting a chance to post them here now.) They’re available here, here and here.
And I’ve (finally) completed a project that’s been underway for over a year, after much research, trial and error. Using my photos (of Paris and roses, of course) and vintage art, printed on beautiful metallic paper and hand cast by moi, these fun pendants are now available here, along with other Valentine’s Day goodies, and at a special Valentine’s Day price.
Creating them is so much fun, although also quite time consuming, so I’m not sure how long I’ll produce them. But it feels great to complete projects, doesn’t it? Do you ever feel like you can’t keep up with your ideas? How do you cope?
D and I were so pleased you enjoyed the mountain lodge images – thank you for all your kind comments. Reading them made a special trip even more so.
In a few days I’ll return to posting images from the French countryside. So many still from last year. That should keep us going until spring!
much love,
– g
We just finished dinner and I would love one or two of those little macaroon cookies! Or are they like our version of whoopie pies? I hope you got to eat some of them after you finished photographing them!
Love the roses, they must of smelled divine!!
Lovely! Love the picture of roses more than anything else…
Hello Georgianna :)
I needed to come say hi for a while now, and this evening I enjoyed my trip to your world as much as all the other times – always always SO beautiful here! Thank you – I can't thank you enough – for sharing your world.
Your birthday looked really fun – and your (you AND D's) photos of the horses turned out so beautiful and charming. I could hear them stomping around in the snowy field – must have been a blast to take those. :) What a delightful trip. Congrats on another year older! :)
Your photo jewelry is gorgeous!… can't wait to investigate at your etsy shop. Will do soon. I'm so happy for you to have finished this idea, and see it through to the selling end… very glad for you!
I must say I laughed when you asked "how do we cope with soooo many ideas" on or plate? Well I know ONE person we can take note of… and her first name is Martha… her successful secret was to bring in the talented help! You have to admire someone who is willing to let go of their ideas, so to see them come to their satisfying ends.
well ok,
You can always go with "Where there's a will there's a way."
lol.
Ok ok -my 5th resolution this year? I decided to use notebooks more and jot down my whimsy ideas with more dilligence (the little hand size 7"x4" soft-bound notebooks). I've decorated the outside of several with pretty photos (very scrapbooky of me) to inspire me to USE them. It's working so far… Last night I dreamed about an idea for a portfolio type of book, and wrote it down.
BUT
Don't take advice from me! I have to take 2… er… now it's looking more like 3 months off to get organized. But I'm "showing up" every day, so am seeing some results so far. :)"Where there's a will…"
Can't wait to go back to France the next time you post.

love ya,
Sherilyn

Hi G ~ lovely pics as always. I received my set of postcards (I hope you saw my feedback) and they are absolutely FANTASTIC! I have no idea what I am going to do with them, but I will find some adorable place to display them! You created just the right set just for ME!, or so I would like to think it was just for ME! (*_*) xo
Oh wow, what a wonderful post! I enjoyed your beautiful photos, with a nod to Paris' city of love ".
Success! I wish you joy of designing and creating the Valentines.
Lovely greeting,
Helena

The tags wowed me. They are pretty great. The colors used are awesome too. Adding in some pendant with ribbons lifted the effect of the design. You are right, making projects like this is time consuming. Not to mention that there are times when you just feel of not coping on all the tasks at all. To manage this problem, I see to it that I keep inspiration and ideas coming in. I visit other blogs and I write down ideas when the seem to be oozing out. Then I set a schedule and practice self-discipline at all times.
All the Best,
Annabella Merlin
Absolutely gorgeous! They were definitely worth the time and effort!
you make my day, love your blog. Beautiful, I am following your blog pls visit mine, I hope you will follow back

pure heaven! Those tags for your jewelry are as pretty as the jewelry…so creative!
Pretty, pretty, pretty!!!
These are all such beautiful images! I always have WAY too many ideas to keep up with. It's why I never sleep! :-)
Oh how I love those postcards! They are so very welcome, especially in this dreary winter! And the jewelry is gorgeous, too. You are so talented!!! xoxo
lovely Georgianna…..wish I had captured more images when we were there in September, but I was a dazzled tourist….my first time there
I'm just so amazed at all the amazing projects and photos from you. I don't mean to sound surprised, but it's like — wow, there's more?! xo
Ooohh, I love the 3rd one with the pink and red roses. All are beautiful though and certainly do put me in the mood for Valentine's Day!
You already knew I am a big fan of your photography but these pendants are a runer up :). Made by you! And the result of a lovely photo which is captured in a beautiful frame makes me sigh…and stare… I want them all but I know that's to greedy. I will think about one and pick my absolute favorite….Gorgeous post; always a pleasure to read and look. Love your style!

your idea to produce pendants is fantastic!
Bravo Georgianna!
All the roses are gorgeous G and your idea for the pendants does look time consuming, but oh, so pretty.
I really like the mosaics.
Judith
The pendants are absolutely beautiful, Georgianna! Your new vision is so exciting. Keep creating….
Georgianna, Your work is truly gorgeous! A sweet glimpse of Paris. Best wishes.
I can almost smell those lovely roses. That's how wonderful these photos are. So beautiful.. And your pendants are gorgeous. Always see what dreamy shots you have here on your blog…
Hugs, Linda
Funny you should ask. I constantly feel like I can't keep up with my ideas. So much I'd want to do but so little time; especially lately.
Lovely pictures again Georgianna!
Bye,
Marian

Everything here is so beautiful Georgianna!
You are truly such a talented artist!

WOW – I don't know what I love more – the pendants or how you're packaging them – both incredible – but you're always a class act!! Been crazy here – work and family both – but hopefully we can catch up soon by phone! (ps – be watching your mailbox!) hugs – t.
Soooo beautiful G! Your photos just make me happy. I love visiting…and, I think I see a lovely Valentine gift for my sweet momma.
Melis
Oh I love the flowers you captured. It must have been the most perfect time to be there. Of course the Metro sign is a personal fave…but OH! the pendants! Wow! How beautiful. And the packaging! I agree with Tina…incredible! Good luck with this new venture, I'm sure it will exceed expectations! :)
Thank you again for my housewarming! It is the perfect touch to have a Georgianna in the house! :) xo
Your work is so beautiful. I am very tempted…..Hope your work is successful and trust you enjoy making these beautiful items.
Everything is simply gorgeous. Your photography is so beautiful.

Paris, vintage, macaroons and flowers all in one = perfect!
And I love Paris, too :-)!
I hope we can travel to Paris very soon, maybe this year ??
Beautiful images as always!
Hugs
Yvonne
All is magical through your lens, Georgianna. And I must tell you, I showed my hubby your Paris photos and suggested a romantic weekend there :)) We especially dreamt of a Parisian breakfast like yours!
Hugs!
You are the most amazing photographer…every photo is remarkable and so lovely. It brings back such wonderful memories of Paris to me. Thank you.
Hi G! Your work here is SO stunning! I know I always say that, but I sometimes just can't find the right words. I don't usually favor roses, but your photography makes me rethink that. :-) I also must tell you how much I enjoyed your article & photography in Artful Blogging…one of my most favorite publications! I can only dream of being published like that. Have a wonderful weekend!
Breath taking! The portrait miniature is my favorite!
Hugs,
Patti
Hi Dear G! The roses are beautiful, and the pendants are so lovely!! I think, I have started having a rose mania these days!
By the way, could you tell me, as a rose expert ;), if there exist any complete catalog of roses, of all the sorts now existing in the world??
Have a charming weekend, my dear friend!
Hugs,
Zara
Hi G! Sorry for the delay; Happy New Year!
Oh la la the macaroons… ;)
Blogtrotter Two is leaving Corsica, finally… ;). Enjoy and have a great year ahead!!!
Oh how beautiful, someday I want to go to Paris! Meanwhile I will through your gorgeous pictures!
Love this G! :) It's truly inspirational. Your postcards are stunning. I'll buy the one that includes the metro sign and the balcony. Love them! :) Beautiful jewellery too. The result is amazing, I'm glad you didn't give it up. xoxo
The Paris postcards are beautiful, Georgianna! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and I wish you a wonderful week, filled with inspiration! xo
Ada
Oh so pretty and so perfect for Valentines Day…and also for Spring. Those pinks are an uplifting sight in the middle of winter.

although paris does have its enchantments, i much prefer the english countryside, english gardens and the english in general.
i was so proud to see your photos in the latest artful blogging magazine that i picked up at the bookstore. the photo of the rose tree in bloom took my breath away.
keep up the great vision.
Those tags are gorgeous. Love the vintage feel to them.
