New Home and Men's Collection for Malamoose Beadery

Malamoose Beadery has moved to a new location! Now located in the Northeast Kingdom in a small town called Greensboro,VT with a population of 700 people during the winter, and twice as many in the summer months it's still a very remote area. Known for it's gorgeous views of mountains, lakes, and wildlife this is a photographers and artists dream destination.

After spending time photographing everything in site, I decided I needed to put the camera down and actually get my studio set up and ready for business. I've claimed the upstairs loft just for this due to its inspirational views and warm sunny atmosphere. Although it's just a little nook in the corner of our bedroom things are working out well.

Due to this fabulous work area and amazing views I've been inspired to create a Men's Wear section for Malamoose Beadery. With it being NEW I plan on spending time in the studio creating more items to get this section fully stocked for the holidays. But right now here's a sample of what's to come.

I would love to hear from any of you who may have some suggestions about what you would like to see in this section. Please leave some feedback with you ideas and I'll get back to you about my thoughts. Now back to taking photographs and getting this Men's wear section filled up....

Rock Garden In Progress

Since the weather here in Vermont has changed for the better, I've been outside enjoying some gardening. I never thought I would enjoy this hobby as much as I have. I'm looking forward to what other new things Summer will bring me. Being new owners to a property that has just about everything one can ask makes it a bit easy to do this job. I just put some sweat into it to make it our own. So I hope you enjoy looking at these before and after photographs of the rock garden I'm currently working on....

Rock garden taken early Spring before things started growing. As you see the rocks needed a bit of tending to. After I got to play the game of is this a weed or a plant. Nothing was labeled!

Did a bit of weeding, transplanting, and worked on rebuilding some of the rock wall.

Transplanted this blue plant, still not sure what it is. Working on getting the rest of these weeds out later this week. We are currently getting rain....

After a couple days work, this is the path from the other side. Soon to be a relaxing patio with chairs or maybe a hammock.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I've been working on. I'm always up for suggestions!
Do you know of any sites that help with identifying plants and flowers? If so send me an email at malamoosephotography@yahoo.com

Spring Is In The Air

I woke up this morning early to let the little puppy out and it was bitter cold with frost on the ground. I even had to warm up the car to defrost the windshield. However when I left work later that evening, I came out to find it almost 60 degrees and clear skies. I was so excited!
My boyfriend decided to clean up the yard. After raking leaves he came across some bulbs that are starting to come up. As new home owners we aren't exactly sure what is in our back yard just yet. We supposedly have a lilac tree, blueberries and raspberry bushes, and a few raised flower beds that who knows what the past home owners used for. Here's a picture of the back yard when we first looked at the house this past fall.
