i'm postively obsessed with these little coffee corsets...i'm obsessed with corsets in the first place, and when i found these, i flipped my ever lovin' lid! but here's the thing...i don't even drink coffee!!!!! so, i've purchased a bunch for valentine's gifts for teachers, etc. i've also got a bunch just sitting here next to me so i can play with them! i love to look at them! they do, however, work wonders for a cup of tea, which i do enjoy, or a cup of hot chocolate...ellie likes them on her juice cup, :)

favorite thing for sure!! you can find them on etsy at
www.jenngee.etsy.com

she can custom make them, or reproduce most of them, i think. i'm particular to the poppin' pink with sparkly button, or i love the black ones for when i'm needing my cocoa to be....seductive i guess...

think i'll go buy 5 more!!!

"..to see the lovely ladies closing
before the dimming evening light,
the dancing is only suspended
with the swinging into night.
And even of tomorrow, I will not be far away;
for this meadow dance it carries
to the sunshine every day."

from a beautiful shoot i did this past summer in north dakota! i'm so thrilled, as i am about to book a ticket for a weekend in the snow (and cold!)- i have so many things in my head that are pounding to get out...i have some lovely models lined up to indulge my vision - willing to be cold i hope....i promise i'll keep the car running, and shoot quickly! airfare is fabulously low, as not many are scrambling to get to north dakota in the middle of february....except me. :) i like it that way.

so here's to a fabulous meadow dance....on the snow. so excited!!!!!

really....do i need to say more? just checking.

it's raining today! ...and supposed to rain all weekend. i couldn't be happier! i'm looking forward to cuddling with my babies, and hopefully going out for a little umbrella and boots shoot! hope you all have a lovely weekend, drive safely, and enjoy your last days before school begins and off we fly with this new year!

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
