You guys!!! What amazing kindred spirits you are. Just loooooved your positive vibes in that last post. I wish I could throw you a real life party, wouldn’t that be fun? Hmmm, maybe, one day? Imagine? It would be insane!
On another note, in our little world I have been a worry wart puppy mama to Matty. He has not been feeling good since Friday, and worrying me to pieces. Today was his vet visit. He was put to sleep (yikes), and all sorts of tests were done, plus little scrapings taken of his poor eyebrow skin.
We have to wait for results and more tests to come.
He is now resting with his little big brother Miles, who keeps licking him and loving on him. Although Matty sometimes makes the scary face and goes grrrrrr, he mostly loves his little big brother.
Especially for playing + chasing and wrestling with.
Oh, and for napping with too.
Snuggle snuggle.
(Matty is brown, Miles is Beige)
We got up so very early to spend our whole morning with the vet.
It is so hard when you are dealing with furs, because they can’t tell you what is wrong. The guess work is so overwhelming and belly anxiety inducing, ain’t it?
Here’s to getting Matty all fixed up 🖤
My boys are always so healthy, and I just don’t like seeing them not feeling good.
Gotta get our little warrior back up to 100%
He keeps us all safe, we love him so.
Love, V
ps: Matty Update….
Matty seems to be doing a little better, responding to his medications, and we are waiting for all the results to narrow out a few things. I think, I hope, he’ll be all cured soon if all works out 🙂

I’m so excited, Vanessa! I ordered some cards! The sweet little Elfin cards! Thank you so much! I sure hope Matty feels better soon! Hugs!
Poor Matty. 🙁 I hope he is feeling much better soon. It is always so traumatic when the fur babies are sick.
Blessings!!
I am praying for Matty. Love that handsome boy. (both handsome boys!)Give them kisses on their noses for me! With love ~M
Oh I pray your handsome guardian will be ship shape….the dynamic dual….
Thank you for the SALE!!!!! have to shop now
🖤Debi…
Poor Baby! It is so hard trying to find out what problems a furbaby might have….lots of fretting and expensive vet bills….
I’m sending him healing thoughts!
…and a real live fete at your whimsical abode would be the stuff of dreams!!
I will keep Mattie in my prayers. Sending loving healing hugs.
XO,
Lisa
Ooooooh mine gootnesses, V! I must needs go shop! I am just now seeing this. ‘Tis the 23rd, and I see the post was made on the 22nd. You said the sale would go for about 24 hours. Can you tell us at what time on the 23rd that the offer will go *POOF*? : )
Oh, I pray that Matty will be just fine. Yes, so hard to try to figure out what is wrong with our furry ones. Hope he is back to normal very soon.
I can vouch for the fact that you are indeed very friendly. A true sweetheart!
Poor Matty. It’s so scary to see a pup under anesthesia. You know what cracks me up? Those ridiculous space collars they sometimes have to wear.
Get well soon Warrior Matty! We love you!
What a generous sale you are having, and to my deep regret -kicking myself actually- my husband will disown me if I spend one more penny this payperiod 🙁 (Its good he keeps me in line;-))
Will be waiting for updates on your sweet fur baby!
Poor Matty fur baby!!! Queenie and the Delicious are sending thoughts and prayers for his full recovery.
Honey Man and I can soooo relate to the anxiety of a sick fur babe… Our beautiful Minnie was sooo sick a couple of months ago. She lost all her vim and vigor and would not wag her tail. We throughly checked the furry body to no avail. That evening she showly crept into my studio, sat beside me, put her paw in my lap and let out a mournful wail. That morning we were off to the emergency vet followed by the regular vet… Long story short her thyroid was all out of wack and daily meds perscribed. Now Miss Minnie Delicious is he old self again, yay and hooray!
Get well soon Mr. Matty we’re pulling for you!!!
Have a better day.
Always, Queenie
I hope Matty will be better soon. Thank you for the chance. Congratulation to Dena.
Hugs from Craftland
Oh, I hope handsome Matty is ok! I know how nerve wracking it can be when one of your furbabies aren’t well.
Also, got off my duff and ordered the print that I have been wanting.. well.. forever! Plus got one of your new ones that I just love! Can’t wait for them to get to Canada!
Oh no! I hope Matty is okay the poor thing. It is so hard when something is wrong, but they can’t tell you what it is. I hope he feels better soon! Maybe this weird wind will blow his sickness away. I am going to go shopping right now! (In your shop of course). You are certainly the least unfriendly person (I think that is right, double negatives always make me confuzzled)!
How very sweet (and FRIENDLY) of you to offer a discount in honor of your beloved Matty.
I am sure he will be up, running and jumping and feeling fit very soon.
Sending PAWsitive vibes for his returned energy.
OH NO! Poor Mr. Matty! I hope all is well. I am sure he is fine, he is only a young lad anyhow. I am glad Miles is being a loving little brother. Little “big” brother as you said. TEE HEE, that’s so cute. How very generous of you to put on such an amazing sale, however I think I missed it. Ruh roh! Oh well, I anticipate jumping on the elfin train this year when you post them, if you post them haha, no pressure. Send my loveeeee to Matty!
P.S. Oh I read that negative feedback! Glad it is just a mistake, since it made absolutely not an ounce of sense anyhow. You’re one of the loveliest, friendliest folks I know. I actually once gave someone else feedback meant for you HAHA, I am sure they were delighted with it, even if it didn’t apply to their product.
Poor doggie! Poor mom, dad and big little brother! Positive thoughts and hugs. Please keep us posted!
V–just wanted to say a huge thank you for the sale 🙂 I purchased your Fortune Teller postcards, which I had been eyeing for a while, so thanks for giving me the encouragement to splurge. This was such a treat! And I definitely hope Matty gets better! He is in my prayers 🙂
Oh, I’m so sorry about Matty! So much going on around here I haven’t checked in. It’s just awful when a fur baby is sick…like you said, they can’t tell you what’s bothering them. I so hope he’s just fine and will be himself soon!
My daughter’s little fur baby girl spent today at the vet too. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the meds will do the trick and she will be healthy quickly.
So kind of you to offer the sale!
xo

Well…Miss Vanessa
We went to Napa Tuesday after lunch and didn’t get back until late last night, so I missed your 2 for 1 sale! Arrrrgh! Yes…I’m feeling kind of pirate-ish at the moment. Dang!
I did indeed enjoy going to Napa though, (business trip for my hubby). Just driving around the hills and the lush landscapes of Napa, the beautiful villas, one castle, and thousands of acres of vineyards was so enchanting I almost felt I was in France!
It was a nice break from the boring valley we live in.
Poor Matty, not feeling well yet? I hope the vet figures out what is wrong.
hugs
Miss Teresa
oh, i hope matty is all better soon! we had a bit of a scare last summer with mr. cash…he threw up for a month solid! we had to go to the vet 3 or 4 times before they figured out what was wrong with him. i was a nervous wreck!! we’re all sending lots of love and hugs to mr. matty and all of you!!! let us know how it goes….
Dear Vanessa, what a shock to see this posted! I am sending you and Matty <3 and prayers your way for quick recovery and back to daily routines! I have been very busy with family in town and my eldest son’s high school graduation last night. Keep strong and keep us posted! <3
On the wings of the whispering winds my inmost heart is sending big love to fur baby Mattise and his family. Swirling and twirling the wide life is comforted by the robes of love. xo
Getting worried now – what could be happening?
I hope your boy is okay!
Matty and all of YOU are in my prayers SWEET Vanessa! (((((((Matty and his mommy and daddy and little BRO)))))))))
I hope Matty is OK! I’m a new follower – found you in Mingle, and a doggie lover too. They are helping me paint this week if you care to visit. Please keep us updated!
Hi Vanessa,
I just wanted you to know that you have one of the most beautiful websites and I feel like I am in a magical dream world when I come here. I pray and send angels to take care of Matty. Huggies of light and love!
Rebecca
I hope Matty will be lots better again soon, dear friend. It’s such a cute and brave little buddy 🙂
Spending the morning catching up on what I have missed on your Blog. Sorry Matty is not feeling well and sending good wishes from my 7 to yours (and from the Mister and I too!) so he will get well quick. One of our wee ones is not feeling well too. I think she ate something that didn’t agree with her so I am playing nursie nursie this morning 🙂
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
I have been having the most fanciful twist dreams, I am thinking of you and candy swirls and sparkle lights and summer. I send you joy dear dear gal! love to Mister and the boys!
I’m wondering if what has affected Mattie has affected you too? I’m speaking of the allergic reactions??? Is Mattie better?
Oh I thought that too – but what Matty has it totally different from what I
had. Thank you so much for asking, xo.
Mine was an internal reaction to a big bite or something I ate, just a
coincidence that Matty was sick too.
I am so sorry again – to hear that your sweet Matty was not well! Give him some extra hugs from me. You are such a doting mama – I know with your love and proper care from the vet, he will be top notch in no time at all! xoxo
Oh no! I wish Matty is okay the inadequate factor. It is so difficult when something is incorrect, but they can’t tell you what it is. I wish he seems better soon! Maybe this strange wind flow will strike his illness away
I really amazed when i saw your blogs about the online store, it is something interesting to look and read through due to your overflowing ideas in terms of shopping. Thanks.
