Amazing Animals: Mog the Cat

Animal Children

It is honoring to me to wear animal pieces. I love to wear leather, braid my hair with mammal rib bones, drape vertebrae across my chest and accent my features with feathers. I find people questioning me often why I choose to do this, when I clearly am an huge lover of animals and live by a veggie diet.

I never purchase new leather , fur or an excess amount of the feather craze. All my bones that I have in my house have been found by me, or gifted by a friend. 

When I assemble an animal part on my body, I feel a kinship. I feel more alive and connected with what is 'out there'. I transform my heart into whom I am wearing.

Have a wonderful summer everyone!

Have fun in the sun, get laid in the shade, right?

Oh what a glorious day!

I would say this is one of my favorite out fit posts. Not because I look dyn-o-mite, because I am out in raw nature. Discovering, making friends, hoping fences , drinking beer, BBQn' , chasing bunnies, pulling ticks off , and shewtn' guns. :)

Joe and I  spent the day at our friend Kellys house. In the past, this was a full time ranch. But now, he watches the land , counts the stars at night and lives neighbor free.  LUCKY!

Yield to the Caterpillars

Whistlin' and a strollin' along the American River again. 

My eyes are wide open for birds , and maybe a wild beast up in there trees.

 Hark! There lies a wild forager, waiting to poison any predator that gets in its way.

"You can't see me!"

  Oh yes I can! 

Getting down in the dirt , it was confirmed that this was a full grown caterpillar.

One thing I learned when I would  observe mushrooms , that there is a party of fungi and friends below our feet. For once, we just gotta look down.

This little bugger was traveling mighty fast. Maybe to find a home of its own to lay down its pokies and pupate?

  With a  belly full of Pipevine he will bravely seek a place of rest.

 Oooh! Youre so pretty. Who will you be?

 I better jot down some notes. I don't want miss one squirm or smile.

Chatting with my friend Eric last night about my caterpillar encounter , he  informed me that in short time the little Caterpillar will evolve into a Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly.  After that he proceeded to unload a ton of information  about Butterflies. 
Growing up with a father that is an Entomologist can be a VERY wonderful thing.

Peace!

Selling vintage by the flower side

Prepping and packing up for my big debut at Relles Florist.

Now to get this out of the house , and into the car.

 To pile or not to pile. Luckily I had my man muscles to help me load an unload.

We had to be quick because he had to be at his own Second Saturday shindig in a matter of moments.

 How did I end up with all of this? Its not only about the clothes. Atmosphere and personal flair needs to be added to my little pop up shop.

 We're here!

 My cozy corner.

 Just a few moments after set up, I had my first customer.

I was so excited and nervous as she was shopping .

I felt like this was a first date.

 SOLD! She loved it immediately. Moments later she came running back with dollars in her hand, and the dress on. She told me she is going to wear her newly purchased Equine Bovine dress all night.

 Can I please tell you that this is perfect place to be on Second Saturday?

 Sara, my sister, my friend forever. She might make cracks at my Laura Ingalls dresses, or my funky Friday night attire and add  "what the hell are you wearing".  But this girl, has my back. She supports me to no end and secretly wants to wear one of my prairie dresses.

 My sweet Lisa. I met her at Magpie last year. Every Saturday, she brings me the Wall Street Journal fashion section. As she sits at the bar , sipping her coffee we swoon over the newly crafted clothing being shown. This girl has a eye for great beauty, as she is a beauty herself!

 Bella browsing to see what will strike her fancy. Next to her was a troubled customers. She didnt know which one to buy, because she loved them both! I gave her a great deal and she walked away with two new gifts for her niece.

 She scooped up a super cute green mini skirt.

Hey Cowgirl! 

 I love this belt buckle. It was one of my faves for a long time. Time to pass it on .

 Belts, bags and skulls. 

Check out my boot fringes! Hand made by my friend Sadie Deluxe.

On a side note, Joe and I are planning a road trip at the end of this summer.

Of course I am already planning on what to wear. These boot fringes will be around my ankles each time time I put on my boots to roam the desert of Arizona, or stroll along a stream in Montana.

 Queen of the night. Alicia coordinated this very successful  event.

 A gift and a kiss from Equine Bovine.

Forever thankyou to all that offered me deep love and support.
