Come To My Garden

I have always found refuge in growing a flower garden but sadly for me, my pride and joy is currently about 550 miles away. I've tried to make a small little container garden on my deck but it just not the same as open space, wildflowers and gorgeous perennials.
While I was home in Michigan visiting my parents, I figured I would take a couple shots of the garden that I spent a lot of my teenage years weeding, watering and planting.

GIVEAWAY!! - CLOSED-

Here is a new giveaway for the month of December. You have a chance to win some gorgeous photography from Anna Delores Photography. If you win, you get to choose one print from her Etsy shop and let me tell you, there are some wonderful choices! First I want to share about this beautiful shop and the person behind it.

Anna Delores Photography is based out of sunny Los Angeles, California, although these photos look much more like a wonderful travel journal. The eye behind these photos comes from Emily, who has a great eye for landscapes and architecture with a vintage view. The name to her shop is paying tribute to her ancestry, the name "Anna Delores Photography" comes from her maternal great-grandmother (Anna) and her paternal grandmother (Delores).

In order to enter, first you must subscribe to both this blog and Emily's blog here. For extra entries, you can add her twitter, facebook or my twitter or facebook. So, if you do it right you can have up to 5 entries. The giveaway will run for 10 days - so it will end at 11:59 pm CST on December 22nd.

Please leave comments below when you add any of the mentioned above so we can have an accurate count for the giveaway! Good Luck everyone!

Welcome!!

Welcome everyone to my blog!

I thought I would try this whole blog thing out so I can connect with all of you wonderful people out there.

So let me tell you a little about myself and what you might find on this blog.

My name is Amanda and I own the Etsy site, Wayfaring Magnolia. On Etsy I sell all different sorts of things from photography, picture frames, vintage fashions and my paintings.

I have always been called a free spirit and I think my art and my blog will show you that.

Things you could expect to see from me

• Unique handmade fashions
• Music History (I love it!)
• Anything Americana
• Vintage
• History
• Anything I pick up on the side of the road (I'm always moving!)
• Art
• Other Etsy artists that I like and will hope to feature
• Whatever I decide on that day

I am inspired by many things in the world and these are often changing. I am a musician and an artist and my life is filled with many beautiful ups and downs which I hope to share with you through my blog. I'm always hoping to hear from others so if you have anything to share feel free to contact me!!

Thanks for stopping by ;)
