here i go again...

last friday i had a chance encounter of the utmost kind.

i stumbled across a pair of unlikely looking stags,

i hesitated upon discovery,

wondering if indeed i could save them.

i noted others eyeing up my stags,

not in a

'oooh, what a peachy find'

kind of way.

more of a

'has she lost her tiny mind'

kind of way.

for they were tres ugly

but to me it was an ugly of the best kind...

what i like to call

'ugly with pretty potential'.

i took a chance

and now that chance

has me crafting down the righteous and goodly path

of woodland creatures again.

i think i will never tire of

pesky squirrels

wise owls

sweet birdies

and

peachy deer.

i am quite sure for some there is no love affair.

just like some do not care

for chocolate (gasp!)

little dogs (shock!)

or

Swedish clogs (horror!)

but for me

they will always have a lasting appeal...

so for my little shop update,

planned to occur next week

i am once again dabbling with

a woodland theme.

all of which have been inspired by my thrift store finds of recent months...

there is more to come as i've only been 'beavering' with Miss Ethel for a few days

but for now this is where i'm at.

it doesn't help either, that a lamp is distracting me,

i am not supposed to be dallying with distraction.

i told myself to stay on the righteous, goodly path at all costs

and not listen to any little voices who may appear.

i fear i need to turn Radio 2 up

and shout very loudly in a sing songy voice

"i'm not listening"

to the little voice of insanity

that taunts me from within

she is thanking you most kindly for your lovely comments of yesterday ~ Tif
