Treasury Tuesday: Shades of Winter

Yes...it's still winter. And I know a lot of us are getting rather sick of snow. But, I think Amanda (aka: BeadWorkByAmanda) says it best in the description for this treasury "Here's to embracing the colors and feelings of winter since it will be with us for a few more months!"

Shades of Winter by BeadworkByAmanda

All of the items in this treasury are from Rochester area artists and potential Mayday Underground Vendors. Amanda is one of the organizers for this awesome local show! You can find out more about the Mayday Underground Shows and get updates at their blog.

Jack's Pick: Snowy Tree Line Photgraphy by lovenaturephotos

Each Friday I select an item created by a member of the Rochester NY Etsy Street Team(RNEST). What criteria do I use? I look for great looking items that I think are well made offered for a great price!

Here in Rochester, we endure some harsh winter conditions. Lake effect is a dirty word to most. The cold winter wind cuts through to our core. But even in the frigid middle of winter, in the deepestsnow, most people here at some point or another in the year go, "Boy, it sure is pretty out today."

Aimee Maher of lovenaturephotos finds beauty in our darkest months. Her shop name is so fitting, and I'm right there with you, "I love nature photos," too! Aimee has taken some enjoyable winter landscapes that capture what it really looks like out the window in the throws of January.

The photo I have selected, called "Snowy Tree Line" I like most for its depth. It leads you into the photo, and takes you on a journey down a snowy path. It reminds me of Robert Frost. It reminds me of the words to Jingle Bells. It is the kind of road I want to take a stroll down to find a warm fire and a cup of hot cocoa at the other end.

I love the curly branches too.

Right now Aimee has a "BOGO" sale on (Buy One, Get One), and you can order this print and another in whatever size you want.
