Well, I finished this darling little jackrabbit a few minutes ago. Look at his bloomin’ heart! Two carved coral roses in red and pink. So delicate. So fine. We should all be so lucky to carry such beauty and growth and life in our hearts!
He perches atop a sterling hollow form platform and rolls a pearl around beneath his front feet. He loves autumn and has been leaping through a beautiful pile of freshly fallen leaves, kicking up his heels, flicking his long ears and all that other rabbit stuff.
100% handcrafted by me!
And built with so much love.
This fellow is darn tootin’ special.
In other news, today, whilst deep conditioning in the shower, one of the orchids I keep in the bath dropped this leaf down into the tub. KERPLUNK. Look at those blending hues of green and red. So gorgeous! I’ve been carrying this leaf around in my back pocket all day long. RW keeps grabbing it and pretending he’s going to throw it out and then I shriek and he gives it back and I tell him to kiss me.
He’s such a brute!
Next time I enamel. I’m going to recreate this leaf and these colors.
And if at first I fail, I’m going to try try again
until I get it perfect.
Today everything is filled with so much life submitting to the seasons, changing colors, fading away… I’m paying attention. All of this shining world, flame throwing and night cool whispers is bound to give way to the stark hush of winter, soon enough. If I keep my eyes and heart wide open every moment between now and then, surely I’ll coast on these colors and textures all the way to spring.
And you. How does your heart bloom? Bloomin’ hearts, each one of you…

We arrived in SF quick like a bunny:O) This is beautiful and I think I noticed something else but I'm not telling:O) Love you, Sal
bloomin' heart love 🙂
sweet little game played between two sweethearts:
steal the leaf, steal a kiss.
I have a crush on the bunny. He's just gorgeous & happy.

My heart blooms in the river valley that is a place of wide open, tree-flamed solace in the middle of this city. I am lucky enough to live four blocks away from its lip.
Inspiration from the most relaxing of places! How neat!
Oh what a bloomin' lovely design! downright fantabulous…heart blooming here in these hills by wee ones touches, kisses, lovins'…been a tough week…but visiting the gables keeps me hopeful and positive and for that, my fine feathered friend, I thank you.
My heart blooms also looking at these little things that we usually take foregranted.
Love your way of going through life and approaching things.
Well thanks to you all for this jackrabbit appreciation! xxxxx
