Jumping On The Winter Wagon

1 On The Winter Wagon

I fell off the summer surfboard and landed squarely on the winter wagon this weekend, so I started setting up my snow dome. I had no intention of turning the island into a winter wonderland, but I have been feeling a bit of the Christmas spirit this year after it took a complete departure from my life last year and when I think of Christmas, I think of the white variety. I haven’t finished, but it’s far enough along that I could use it as a backdrop for some of my finds from Collabor88. Somehow I managed to get in today, lag wasn’t horrible, I only crashed twice and I made away with quite a few goodies. Why am I buying for myself this close to Christmas, you ask? Rumour has it that I’m on Santa’s naughty list this year, so I’m not expecting to find much but a lump of coal under the tree.

That’s my excuse story, anyway 😉

It is unrigged mesh, comes in six colours and is materials enabled. For some reason I have an urge to sit on a darkened stage reading poetry in a smoke-filled cafe 😉

Another Unexpected Unicorn

1 Cowboy_007

I’m thinking about getting a horse. Not a breedable, just a horse I can ride. So I donned my new hat and set out to find one.

I stopped at Branagh’s Barn and hopped on this lovely bay for a quick ride around the paddock. He had other ideas. Freed from his stall in the barn he made his way quickly to this beautiful unicorn. They seemed to hit it off…I’m sure they’ll be very good friends.

1 Cowboy_027

Speaking of the hat (nice segue, eh? 😉 ) this is a sneak preview of the JfL Cowboy hat for the Jewelry & Accessories Expo, December 06-21. The felt is soft, the band is materials-enabled for a lovely shine in the light, and it comes in six colours. What more could a girl – or guy – ask for?

Not much, except to find a friend in an unexpected place.

I didn’t buy the horse…yet. I’m still considering. But while I was looking around I saw that the unicorn will only be available for the holidays. That is fitting…an ethereal creature such as she only appears briefly then disappears. Not to be forgotten, but out of reach except in dreams.
