An Equestrian Wish

I have realized that I am a total girl when it comes to clothing.
That means that I have A LOT of clothes!
I am lucky that I have a mom and sister (and even nana) that have great taste and know what I like.
Not to mention a few good thrift and consignment shops around here...

I have been trying to stick with the motto
"if I am gifted or buy new clothes, I have to get rid of something"
and although it is difficult I have been doing a pretty good job of it!

I am excited, however, for the new outfit I was given for my birthday,
which I will try to take photos of and post tomorrow,
and the super awesome thrifty deal I got the other day on a bag load of clothes
(which included some awesome striped things... and we all know how much I love stripes!)

So, sometimes there are things that I just love and search for in my thrifting journeys.
Right now one of those searches includes a kick ass pair of equestrian riding boots.
Boots like these

thatkindofwoman:

I am actually in love with the whole outfit...
I would love to find a nice pair of super comfy riding boots,
preferably like these ones.
I would also like to find them on the cheap.
I wonder if this is possible?

Ok, well enought of my boring ramble about clothing...
Hope you all are warm and cozy,
it is absolutely FREEZING around these parts.
We are supposed to get 2 feet of snow tomorrow.
I hope it is light fluffy snow,
not that heavy stuff that breaks trees and bushes...
Have a beautiful day my lovelies!

...Sharing...

I would really like to share about something that I did, made or saw today,
but since I spent most of the day blowing my nose,
I have nothing to talk about or share pictures of.
(Oh, I am sure I could think of SOMETHING, but that doesn't mean it is interesting or that my brain is working correctly to remember...)
So instead I think I will just share a few photos that I really like and are inspiring me today from my tumblr archive!

If you can be in any art,
music, painting, sculpture, dance,
if any art can grip on your being,
thats the best way to pray,
the best way to meditate.

I seem to be on the mend from being terribly sick,
although my head still feels like I am in a fish bowl.
Maybe tomorrow I will wake up renewed and totally restored to perfect health...
Maybe.
Have a great night my chickadees.

This Weekend

We had friends visit this weekend!
Our friend, Julie, and her son Cody came down from Vermont.
I was so happy to have them come down ,
but it sucked because I was sick and spent the last day they were here sleeping.
I am feeling a little bit better today, but my head is still full of junk and my nose hurts from blowing it so much.
Andy is sick too, although thankfully not as bad as I was,
but I think by the time we are done, we will have a mountain of tissues as big as the house!
Well, anyway...
It was great because Cody brought his fire toys and was spinning out in the yard Saturday night.
He is amazing, he is only 15 and really, really good at it!
