I am so glad you decided to stop by, come on in...
Through the arbor, which by the way, this photo is not enhanced by me, and into the Gypsy Garden. The camera took this photo on its own - moon, orbs and all. I am telling you, I think there is a cloud of magic right here in the desert... That or space ships!?!
I have been attached to the Gypsy Garden with billions of thoughts and ideas swirling. Plus, I decided to show some much requested wider view photos of the Gypsy Garden. By the way, in my right hand sidebar, under CATEGORIES, there is a section purely dedictaed to the Gypsy Garden, called "Gypsy Love."
As for my ideas - they are exciting ideas that include you!!
But first, let's get cozy...
The Gyspy Garden, which is located in our front garden, is so perfect right now, I can't pry myself away from it. The nights are dreamy, temperatures are good at night for a few more weeks.
Days are hot, but nights are cool. Anyhow, like I said, my Gypsy Garden, is in the front yard, not the back. After the party week before last, I took this photo for ya. This is what we see from our porch...
Behind the swing there on the right, are some huge oleanders, walls of them in fact. They split our front garden in half and separate our house garden, from my gallery and my office entrances.
I cherish our little space madly. I don't mind a humble little country house with the love the trees bestow upon us. Don't you just adore trees? They are characters all on their own...
I love losing myself under the trees (when you live in Arizona, trees are major) When I first came to the country house almost 10 years ago, I fell in love with the place and a curly locks, and I just never left... My heart attached itself to this wee parcel and those wee curls, and that was that...
From the west side of the property, facing east, the Gypsy Garden sits tucked under the canopying trees, and kissed by the mountains... (the tree in this shot, is just feet away from another big tree that covers the Gypsy Garden)
Don't worry about dancing in the Gypsy Garden, this is all you see from the gate entrance, plus it is a tiny street with few souls, and everyone already knows a crazy lady and a mad-man live here...
So come through the arbor, passed the dancing ladies...
Under the moon...
Through the leaves...
Amongst the trees...
In a place safe for the soul, unpretentious & encouraging for you to be the you, you see in your mind's eye... The true you.
Music trickles out of a garden pump organ. Laughter emits, birds gather as guests...
While immersed in this place I had a realization...
I didn't celebrate my second year blogiversary in December, nor did I celebrate my 300th blog post a dozen posts ago. But that aside, it's time for something. I can feel it in my bones...
This is where you come into play.
You see, the secret keyhole is calling. Calling for you to find the key for what I have up my sleeve. You have to guess...
Take as many guesses as you want. There is a super special treat for whoever guesses correctly first (and maybe more). So, let's see, where is my idea book... And how to find the key that unlocks the secret?
Hmm, where could the key be?
Are these the keys??
Wait, perhaps this is the key...
Nope, not the right one...
Oh no, so many keys to choose from. How ever will we unlock the secret to what I am conjuring up?
Let's see, how about some hints you ask?
Okay, but you have to promise not to make fun of the fact that my fingers don't fit these gloves. I have munchkin fingers, I know, I know. I need an inch more on each finger ;)
So a hint you say. A hint for what is brewing... A hint a hint.. Okay, here's one...
And another one...
Go ahead...
Choose one...
You need another hint??? Okay, one more. But only because, he can't wait to see you...
So, try a guess, what's up my sleeve? Oh so exciting a sleeve!!
While you are guessing, I am going to make some treats to celebrate my sister's graduation celebration weekend. She received her Master's and is soon off to University of New Mexico for her PHD. We are sooo Proud of her!!!
If you have a sec or two - while you are guessing - Take a peek at a special card pack I put together for Stampington and The Shoppe at Somerset. It is a postcard pack I do not carry in my personal online shop, and has a little bit of everything in it. Hope you like them ;)
I also made a little banner with my cards, to give you an idea what you can do with your own cards. A way to use them in your own home ;) Click here to see...
I also, want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support in my last post. It means a lot to me. I really love the space we share in the blogosphere. It's as close to having you over as we can get ;) I just ♥ U. Truly!!
I captured these for you. They have hopes and dreams sealed in each one. There is a limitless supply... Take as many as you need. And remember, the secret fun, includes you and the other lil' hints... Can't wait to hear your guesses + spill the beeeeaaans!! xoxo
♥,V
ps: Saw Iris and Nothing but the Truth, loved them both... Oh yes, I saw Frozen River too, good (a tad stressful).
