"Gypsies, tramps and thieves". We'd hear it from the people of the town. They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves. But every night all the men would come around; and lay their money down. -- Cherilyn Sarkasian LaPier

The Magic Spider-Web.

It is said that the dream catcher filters your dreams, changing them, and only allowing the good dreams to pass through. The bad dreams are said to stay in the net, disappearing by the light of day.
Maybe I should start making them again.

Women made heels because they were sick of being kissed on the forehead.

The shoes are sexy, but the walking would be treacherous.
Walking on the wildside.
Stacked heels, to die for!

Open-toed bootie, love these neutral colours for spring. <3
These have drawn inspiration from Greek ceramic vases and the ancient Amazon culture.
Object fetish, much?
Something different for a Wednesday.

5 Monday Finds.


Teacups are so cute. You can enjoy the perfect afternoon tea and feel very stylish and pretty with a delicate teacup in hand. But there is so much more to the humble but gorgeous teacup than meets the eye.....here are my 5 favourite ways I've seen to use teacups:

My absolute favourite - a light feature made out of teacups - I so have to try this one day...



An actual cupcake - you can also melt wax into cups and make them into candles - what a perfect birthday treat!


Have a gorgeous collection of teacups on display - not only a beautiful talking point but useful too!

 

You can take a ride in a teacup at most fairgrounds or theme parks - how whimsically wonderful!


And finally, I just couldn't resist this idea - making a clock out of teacups, well at least you'll always know when it's time for tea...

When a Cowboy Rides.



A beat up truck by the creek bed
A head full of things that she said
The only comfort he has left is by his side
Round bottle and a paper sack
Watchin' the blue sky fade to black
He would be heading home about this time
But tonight his truck will drive right by their street
Her minds made up and he knows that it's time to leave


Six more miles to San Anantone
Feels like he fought at the Alimo
And the Texas sun isn't fair to tear stained eyes
He'll ride for the pain and wind
Or he'll fall off and lose again, but he'll get back up and try tomorrow night


He doesn't care 'bout the money he's lost
Or the broken bones and sleepless nights he's spent
Cause more than one time he's counted the cost
And it all comes down to the woman that he left


When a cowboy rides into the sunset
All he owns is tears and regrets
A buckle or two, his chaps, and vests
A broken heart in a tangled mess
And the memory of the one he left behind

10:36am: Cold Tea


5 cups of tea have been made this morning, already.
Not one cup has graced my throat with it's warmth.
Sad really, I was looking forward to that.

Sitting on a Barbed Wire Fence.

It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry.

The Assassin Hidden in Us.





I do believe all of us have this potential hidden in our soul's dark layers.And it's not the mere killing thing what i'm talking about .
It's about our ability to shush our inner voice , when we see it does not fit the "norms" !
It always reminds me of a desperate scorpion commiting suicide in the middle of a surrounding fire.

Yes, he took me away.


I have announced, to family & friends, my engagment to the 'cowboy' - it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

... I now wish I hadn't told certain people.
