Getting into bed with a freshly bathed man:


It’s just so lovely.
Prickly whiskers and everything else that comes with it!
I had to kick him out when he started eating crackers but I’m always keen for a snuggle with my big boy.

For the Love of Summer Light

There ain’t no light like summer light.
And wowweee!  Look at those poppies!

Three Small Pleasures



1. A bowl of rhubarb.
2.  A good dog.
3.  A fresh haircut.

Sometimes I just need to start small
and work my way back up to the euphoric largeness of
gladness one small pleasure at a time.
The tiny things always manage to shine through,
even on the rainiest days.
Indeed.

And you?  
Three small pleasures?

The weather has been rather frightful today.
We’ve had thunder and lightning, sheets of rain falling like the chandelier during the Phantom of the Opera, moments when the clouds were so dark and heavy that it looked like night inside our home.
Farley has been cooped up inside and bored nearly to the point of painful death.

I tried to get him to play with me.

I tried rubbing his belly and feeding him treats.

I resorted to putting chickens on his back.

But even Judith and Vesper couldn’t crack his boredom.

The girls even used him as a trampoline!

But he didn’t care.

Poor fellow.

Mustang Buckle

A new buckle!
Finished minutes ago!
This one features a sturdy little mustang and the words:
GENTLED BUT NOT BROKEN
AS ALL WILD THINGS SHOULD BE
IF WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO HOLD THEM IN OUR HANDS AND HEARTS

This wild little horse bids thee:
Keep the sky in your heart.
Grow your mane long.
Let the stones trim your hooves as you run.
Even if you find a rope around your neck,
keep on bucking.

100% handcrafted!
Built of sterling silver, Kingman turquoise and a big bright flame.

Made for a woman who is half wild and half lady.
Made for a woman who needs to be reminded that she can be held close but she doesn’t have to give up her freedom. There are some things we keep in our heart that cannot ever be taken from us.

You can find this little pony in the
Etsy shop tomorrow!
