Brand new banner!

I've just this morning re-designed my blog's banner, and although it will take a while to get used to it after having had the same one for a few years, I like it.

It reflects the direction the blog has over time.  It's become more overtly feminine, reflects my ever-growing love of pink, retains the pale yellow I will always enjoy, and puts the perfection of sumptuous flowers front and center. 

I retained the stripes, which for me hearken back to the 30's and 40's, hatboxes and the golden age of retail emporiums.  The script font is also anachronistic, in a welcome way.  It reminds me of early 20th century typeface.

To my mind there's also reference to old fashioned amusement parks, arcades, candy shops ... all wonderful!  And playful.  The colors are tea party/tissue paper pale.

So there it is ... I am notorious for perfectionism and will be tempted to go back and tweak it, but I'm trying to resist.  I've used MS Paint to do the whole thing -- it's all I know how to work with -- but there's a lot you can do with Paint and imagination!

If you like it, please let me know.  I look forward to commments and feedback!
