Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves~

Wonderful new stuff in the shop! I will be adding all of this stuff throughout the next couple of days along with tons of other new stuff this week and next! A theme of gypsies seems to keep appearing, along with Moroccan and Central and South American themes as well.

I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

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

Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done

I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later, I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while
I haven't seen him for a while

She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

RIO LOBO AND THE BRIDE OF THE WEST~

Here comes the harvest everyone! I am so excited about the coming autumn and all it entails with harvesting the garden, the weather turning slightly cooler, the leaves changing, Halloween, and toasty fire warmed rooms!

This past week a dear friend, the beautiful Nicole, came to visit Max and I from San Francisco and we went up to the sweet mountain towns of Nederland and Gold Hill to shoot some new stuff for the shop. The pictures turned out so lovely due to the beauty of Nicole and the vibe of the old towns and natural scenery surrounding them. I am so excited about all the new stuff as I mentioned last week in the Gypsy post and will be continually listing these items this week as well as a whole new batch of wonderful stuff!

The Magic of Feathers~Headdresses

In the spirit of feathers week, I have selected a vast selection of amazing headdresses which have been worn for thousands of years throughout the cultures of the world. Truly birds are the most amazing and glorious of creatures and humans have celebrated them in the making and wearing of headdresses. I suppose it connects us with the fantastic ability to fly as well as strut our stuff in the myriad colors of nature. I adore feather headdresses and would wear one every day if I could get it together, hehe. Enjoy the splendors of the bird and their glorious feathers.
