Round and about the Farm

It was such a lovely day yesterday that I just felt the urge to go out and take some photos around the place. I particularly had fun snapping the animals - they were being so silly "behind the scenes". Simba kept pushing his bum into my face because he wanted a scratch. Monarch kept following me around and putting his face in all my shots. The goats were butting each other (unfortunately I never captured the rearing up that they do which is quite funny!!) It was altogether a lovely morning!

The Vanity

I thought I'd just throw this first photo in for fun... it's a great "French Flea Market" mirror I found - and LOVE! It hangs in our entry foyer and looks fabulous!

The vanity is complete! I love it! I've started putting my "girlie" stuff on top, but what it really needs is a beautiful lamp and bouquet of flowers! The drawers easily fit all my things - with room to spare! Now, I'm keeping my eye out for a cute stool!

I've been using it (with a temporary stool) that I took out of the photo for obvious reasons (haha). I really enjoyed this refinishing project... it was certainly worthwhile.

I Love....

Honest and loyal friends, the warmth and love of family, a meal cooked with passion, a warm winter fire, my two lovely boys, my incredibly loyal little dog, other peoples art, an interesting idea, fresh flowers, a quiet reflective walk, the sound and smell of the ocean, the thrill of a great ride on a horse or bike, my Tiki cruiser, roasting marshmallows by a campfire, singing my heart out in the middle of nowhere, the breathless beauty and grandeur of horses, a sheep curiously looking you in the eye, exploring near or far, peoples stories, interior decorating and style, other people's individuality, freedom, trusting and being trusted, blingy things, artsty things, silky bed sheets, the wonder of nature, mucking out stalls, mushy romance, using tools, owning tools, building things, funny people, the sound of a pencil on paper, a deep sleep with good dreams, funky jewelry, great conversations, great _ _ _, doing not just talking, funny or beautiful greeting cards, handwritten letters via snail mail, a view, orange, maps and globes, being in or on the water, staring at the stars in wonder, sand between my toes, the warmth of the sun on my body, grasses rustling in a wind, the adventure that is life and so much more!!!
