Hello, dear friends! I hope that wonderful and joyful days have welcomed you to the new year. These early weeks in January, though often bleak and challenging, offer the perfect time for reflection and assessment. I love reading your year-in-review posts and your hopes, plans and dreams for the coming months. One of my dearest wishes is that each of you have the best year ever with an abundance of all that you desire. Although I didn’t manage such a review post for you this time, I thought I’d update you with some of my latest work which is in stores now.
I am so fortunate and appreciative to work with these truly stellar publishers. Somerset Life magazine, and my dear friends at Stampington, are the crème de la crème, continually presenting exquisite publications that inspire and celebrate the very best of the endeavors of so many creative spirits. I am always humbled by the talents and accomplishments of the editors and the artists represented in each of their magazines.
As most of you know, David and I live on a hilly, half-acre wooded property in north Seattle. With our travel schedules and other commitments, it is a trick maintaining and upgrading our six lawns and 22 (yes!) flower beds. My sometimes limited gardening skills are always enhanced by the detailed and informative articles in Garden Gate magazine. Such a delightful publication and entirely ad-free. Each issue is a treasure trove of ideas and plans.
Long before I began licensing images with Papyrus, I had tremendous admiration for them – they were always, and remain, my first choice for gorgeous cards and stationery. So to have my images appear on their cards is a complete thrill.
But mostly, my intention in sharing these was to express my gratitude to YOU. By faithfully visiting here through the years, even when circumstances have kept me out of touch sometimes, you have made all the difference. Your support and encouragement and enthusiasm are honestly priceless – none of this would be remotely the same without you along for the journey. So, I thank you and hope that when you see these successes, you know that you are part of them.
Sending love and the very best for 2014!

Congratulations dear Georgianna! I just went to the Garden Gate website and signed up for a free issue and am thinking about ordering it. I like it that it has no ads just wonderful gardening photos and info.
Oh my, all those lawns and flowerbeds that you have would totally boggle my mind. It is all I can do to keep on top of what I have which is miniscule compared to yours.
Your photos are always an inspiration to me and I thank you for sharing the beauty you see with all of us here.

Georgianna, your photography is so exquisite and wonderfully beautiful. You are the best and your photos should appear in every garden magazines of the world, nothing less ! Congratulations for these publications, I can imagine your joy in seeing your photos in them. I would love to see your work in these magazines but I’d be very surprised to find them here in St-Georges, maybe in Quebec I’ll find them but even there I’m really not sure. I’ll look for it. The papyrus cards are lovely, so beautiful !
And, dear Georgianna, being among your biggest fans, you can be sure I will follow your journey and visit here as often as possible. Many blessings to you and David for this new year !
I can hardly wait to get to town to pick these issues up G! I wish it wasn’t 60 miles or I would go today! I am so exited about this! Your photography is so easy to pick out on pinterest or other sights even before I see your watermark. It is unmistakable in it’s uniqueness and beauty.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment this morning. I really don’t think you can know what it meant to me. I know how very busy you are. So it is so appreciated.
I like to think of you in your garden. It must bring you much peace from the very busy life I know you have.
The other day I was watching an Outdoor Idaho program on our PBS station and they were showing the beauty of the Palouse in Washington and north central Idaho and I thought of you and the beautiful post you did on the Palouse. I remember my first time through this magical area and every time since and the awe I feel when the light is just right. Your photos captured it so perfectly.
I look forward to another year of blogging with you and enjoying every beautiful photo you share.
sending love…
When I look at your pretty feature in Somerset Life I believe I’m ready for spring!
22 flower beds … awesome!
Georgianna your blog is always a wondeful place to sit down , relax, enjoy and staring for a while:). I am impressed by your talent and your blog is always lovely to visit. Congrats on being featured. You deserve it and I am so happy for you. That note card set is one of my very favorites…I love the photo; the roses are breathtaking but together with the vintage vase of your mum makes it even more precious and gorgeous. Are these cards available here in The Netherlands or is there any store on the internet where I can get these beauties? Hugs!XX
Dear Georgianna,
Happy New Year, dear friend and sorry I have taken so long to come and visit you.

Dear Georgianna,

So delighted to see your images on the magazines, and oooh, those fabulous greeting cards make me swooooon!
Papyrus is one of my faves, too, when I come to the US I always come back with several boxes of their stunning products. I’d really love to purchase your cards if I find them online! Thanks for sharing Beauty with your work!

Monica xo
