Throwback Thursday

Thursdays on Instagram are called "Throwback Thursday" and then folks post an older photo from the past. 

This is mine.

It’s amazing how a simple photo can call up so many memories.

My parents came to visit me when I was working for the Van Norman’s in Tuscarora, NV.  Dad was really proud of me. And I was proud that he was proud and so we sat on this fence, and he listened while I excitedly prattled on about the horses in the pen below us and how chuffed I was with my life.

Mums snapped this picture and then joined us. 

Today I sat on the floor of the living room, and excitedly prattled on about my life and future plans to both of my folks. I haven't changed a lot. 

What would you post for your #ThrowbackThursday, and why that particular memory?

The Best Of December From Instagram

So. I had this totally AWESOME blog post I was going to film for you Dolls first thing this morning, but then two things happened that threw a monkey wrench in my plans. About 2am, Roo woke me up whining in pain and wouldn’t settle down until sometime after 5am and then we spent several hours at the vet’s with her. I HATE vet offices. I think I hate them more than the animals do, actually. And then later this afternoon I had a little stress attack. In a shop. In public. Surrounded by lots of people. It was awesome. NOT. And then a friend backed into our neighbor's truck and dented the door. Lovely. All of that messed up my plans for filming but there’s nothing you can do except laugh it off and decide that tomorrow will be better! So, if you have had a crappy day (or year) just know that you are not alone and that tomorrow is another chance and a fresh beginning. 

Laugh it off Doll, just laugh it off. 

Without further ado, here is the best of December from Instagram from mine and Adrian's and accounts. Enjoy! Don’t forget to follow us and say “Hi!” if you’re on Instagram by the way, we’re super friendly.

A Forestbound Birthday

Today is the mum's birthday. 

Like every morning that we are all home together, we sat outside and enjoyed each other's company and coffee. It's difficult to say which we enjoy more;

the company, or the caffeine. 

;) 

And then we made the mums open her present. 

She is a very difficult woman to shop for because she is so unique and it's hard to find just the perfect gift for such an amazing woman! 

But this year I think we did pretty darn good.

Forestbound Bags are all hand made and one of a kind, because the lady who makes them picks for the canvas that they are made from. Many of the canvases she finds are WWI and II era. Each has had a previous life and if only we could hear the stories they've lived through....

I found her on Instagram, which I freely admit to being obsessed with. 

Here's her account name if you have one, go follow her and enjoy looking at all the handmade, one of a kind goodies! 

Mum's bag is made from salvaged canvas from WWI and leather straps. It smells of old stories and saddle butter. It's awesome. 

In a world of fast and easy, plastic and cheap gadgets, it is truly refreshing to find someone who takes the time to put their talents to use and produces beautiful and useful gear. 

Happy Birthday Mums. We love you.
