Product Spotlight: Dark Tiger Women's Long Sleeve Tee

This design was originally done for my brother. I never know what to get for them. Awhile back we started making gifts for everyone rather than just picking something out at a store.

Some years it's baked goods, other years beaded jewelry that my husband makes, shirts and tote bags are favorites of mine to give.

A few years ago I tried to give someone to everyone that was designed just for them. This one was fun making because it's not your normal design. The sharpened sepia design really stands out and is truly a beautiful gift.

This design and more can be found at Spencer Photos.

Product Spotlight: Beautiful Zinnia Tote Bag

Today's product spotlight is this Beautiful Zinnia Tote Bag.

I'm totally in love with this zinnia photograph. Steven, Izzy and I routinely go to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens because it's such a relaxing place. Every time we go something new is in bloom.

I've been giving Izzy photography lessons and it's so fun taking her because she wants to take so many pictures. We go around and find different flowers and take lots of pictures.

Zinnias are a very beautiful flower. They tend to have color gradients. This particular floral photograph starts out a dark red, softens into a rich orange and then ends in a bright yellow. What I like especially about this flower is that zinnias seem especially favored by butterflies and for this reason many gardeners add zinnias specifically to attract them.

I like the decorative border or mask that surrounds this photo because it gives it a polished look. I recently ordered this item for myself and can't wait for it to come in.

To purchase unique zinnia shirts and gifts don't forget to shop Spencer Photos. We carry beautiful floral photography that is perfect for gifts.

Flowers and Plants

I've changed around the sections at Spencer Photos to make the photography section make more sense so now there are only nine sections.

1. Flowers and Plants: This section has been filling out nicely. The flowers used to be grouped by color which was great at one point but quickly became hard to find the right flower. It is now grouped by flower type. I'm proud to announce a wide variety of flowers to include; columbine, daffodils, daisies, echinacea, hibiscus, hydrangea, iris, lilies, lotus blossoms (water lilies), pansies, poppies, roses, snapdragons, tulips, zinnias and two assorted flowers sections. I've been busy working on this section making sure the newest products are being offered and that the designs are updated. There are going to be some really fun floral prints here in the next couple of weeks.


2. Animals, Birds and Insects: This section has also changed quite a bit. It's now organized by animals, insects, birds and amphibians. For return shoppers this should provide a better shopping experience. Stop in the animals section if you're searching for tigers, turtles, prairie dogs, seahorses, lions, giraffes, cats and dogs, zebras, crabs, sharks and fish, jelly fish or some of our other animals. Only the beautiful bugs in our insect section. We have bees, ladybugs, dragonflies and butterflies. Eagles, owls, cranes and more are in our bird section and fun frogs in our amphibian section.


3. Nature and Landscapes: Is still a work in progress but still worth checking out. We have stunning cloud prints and lovely seascapes. Gazebos and waterfalls populate this section. Browse a bit and find something truly lovely.


4. People: This section will include baby girl - a lovely assortment of baby shower gifts featuring baby girl. We will also be showcasing people enjoying nature, and relationships.


5. Design, Details and Macro: A small section right now but with more to come.


6. Architecture and Transportation: Sailboats, airplanes and close ups on beautiful city buildings.


7. Digital Darkroom: Fun bursts of colors overwhelm this section. Most used to be floral prints but are now bright, fun patterns and are really stunning. If you want a truly unique gift shop here! This is also the home of the zelephant. It's a zebra elephant blend that Steven made years ago when discovering photo shop. It's funny, it's different, it's a zelephant.


8. Night Shots: Fireworks, sunsets and Pittsburgh at night. These night pictures are fun and beautiful.


9. Catch-All: We have statue prints, food shirts and photography for history buffs. Pumpkins, gourds and apples, some Indian corn too fill in the food section. Look for Jamestown and Yorktown gifts in our Celebrate History section. Cannons, James Fort, water-carrying yokes and more!

Lotus Blossom Shirts and Gifts

Nelumbo nucifera is known by a number of common names, including blue lotus, Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, and sacred water-lily. It is commonly cultivated in water gardens. In 1787 it was first brought into horticulture in Western Europe as a stove-house water-lily under the patronage of Joseph Banks.

The lotus represents purity of body, speech, and mind, floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. The Buddha is often depicted sitting on a giant lotus leaf or blossom. According to legend, he was born with the ability to walk and everywhere he stepped, lotus flowers bloomed.

To purchase unique lotus blossom shirts and gifts don't forget to shop Spencer Photos. We carry beautiful floral photography that is perfect for gifts.

Product Spotlight: Jelly Fish T Shirt

This Jelly Fish T Shirt is super cool and was fun to make. I started with a photograph my husband took of a jelly fish and then made a swarm of jelly fish using copy and paste putting them in almost in a tornado formation. I added text "Jelly Fish Hunter" and then put this fun design on t shirts, mugs, bags, posters and more!

Purchase this shirt or other photographic shirts and unique gifts at Spencer Photos. You are sure to find the perfect gift for everyone.

Product Spotlight: Rude Giraffe Hat

This rude giraffe hat definately makes me smile. This animal has attitude but that's okay. My daughter loves animals and we are always reading books about different animals. It's funny when she doesn't know the sound an animal makes because she says in a cute, high pitched voice the animals name twice, ex "giraffe, giraffe".

I cropped this photograph and added a decorative oval border.

If you enjoy this giraffe photograph as much as I do it is available for purchase on giraffe shirts, mugs, framed prints, giraffe hats, magnets and more!

Happy Shopping!
