can wing her way through the desert skies
and still defying fortune's spite

revive from ashes and rise

Buckskin Blues

If I had a buckskin stallion

I'd tame him down and ride away.

If I had a golden galleon

I'd sail into the light of day

If I had your love forever

Sail into the light of day

In The Pink

      did you know ...

that 'in the pink' was commonly used throughout the 19th century meaning 

"of excellence of fashion"

as used by William Thackerayin 1840 ..

"In the very pink of the mode."

Here's to wishing you a very in the pink week...

Happy Monday!!!

I believe in pink

I believe in kissing ~ kissing a lot

I believe in being strong 

when everything seems to be going wrong

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls

I believe that tomorrow is another day

and I believe in miracles

new photos for my shoulder bags ... 

Western Skies CrossOver Bag

Wandering Ridge Shoulder Bag

Canyon Rose Hobo Oversized Bag

The sun was shining for a couple of hours 

we so had to take advantage of it!

While at Nisqually we noticed a few promising signs 

that spring is not too far away...

little woolly catapillar

little leaf bud .. and it is trying to get out

I hope it doesn't freeze.... 

we weren't the only ones to enjoy the day

a chubby little seal was catching some rays too!

hope you are having a splendid week

........ enjoy ........

socked in

we are buried under a shroud of clouds

Olympia sits at the south of Puget Sound

 an inlet of the Pacific Ocean .. so gathers weather

it is a complex estuarine system of interconnected 

marine waterways and basins

here one must truly find appreciation in the shades of grey

You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds

Henry David Thoreau

my good buddy (lovely daughter) & I set off to Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

a mere 10 minutes from home •• yipee!

snapped a few photos for my little ZiBagz shop

Black Mesa Shoulder Bag

  

she gladly obliged to be my model

I told her I would try not to get her "goosebumps"

it was in mid 40s .. not really that cold

but our Alaska blood isn't as thick as it used to be!

Bohemian Winds Shoulder Bag 

**both of these gorgeous bags are created using

 repurposed leather jackets .. much out of style but now recreated to live a new and wonderful life!

we love the Nisqually barns

this land was homesteaded early 1900s by the Brown Family

 the farmer built 4 miles of dike to drain 

1,500 acreas of salt marsh

in 1974 the area was purchased and in its place the refuge was created to provide habitat for a great variety of nesting waterfowl and migratory birds

clouds come floating into my life

no longer to carry rain or usher storm

but to add color to my sunset

Rabindranath Tagore

.. enjoy ..
