I have so much to say, that things to say that have become backed up in a long list. Some my brain has even expunged and others that tickle the soul, but require great attention to be told correctly. And, my clay is waiting for me to come back from my break, where I have escaped to say HELLOOO to you, whilst sharing a nature silhouette or two…
And by the way, have I told you lately that, you rock my toadstool?
Oh and, I think the fairies are messing with time you see. For I look at the clock at 8:00 a.m., then glance a few seconds later and it is a quarter past three, and then a short time after that it is midnight, and in the shadows I catch a glimpse of fairy wings in mid flight….
And, the outdoors have been more that splendid, with cold and snowy mountain tops…
While the sun has held mysterious tales, yes yes indeed… And doesn't it look like the cloud on the front left has morphed into a man floating towards the heavens?
Oh and, did I tell you about how I was transported into another land through a miniature secret keyhole that lived in one tiny perfect rain drop? Go on, go in and see for yourself…
Alas for now, I must skip off while I clutch things to show you in the future, along with MAD (I mean Mad) tales for the next post ~ which I will compose very soon, maybe even this afternoon. But for now, I must tend to my clay right away. You see, the window of magic is ajar, and waiting for me…
But, please don't be sad or vexed that this post isn't as long as a mile or three – for I have a wee present waiting below, just for thee -
Yes, yes indeed. Those fungi lovin' Valentine's that I made for you back when, are Free and still available by clicking on THIS printable PDF file RIGHT HERE.
Because, I like you.
It's okay if you think I am silly or weird, or wacky or even slightly rotten ;) But then again, perhaps you find me angelic (ya right), but horned all the same. All that matters is that you meet me here to play a few games. I can't handle serious or sad or negative and bad. Although, that depends on what you define as bad and sad? Because I would be happy to write you a sick note for work, or come to your house for a food fight or pie throwing contest. And truth be told, I might even cry with you watching Somewhere in Time or something like that. But I am guessing, if you are here right now reading this, it means we are slightly kindred, right? Or maybe even more than slightly, with whipped cream and cherries?
Oh and, did I tell you that my black horse has a name? I think, all the names are beyond wonderful, so it was ever so hard to choose. But, I thought, why not turn my black beauty into a saint that will protect the herbs in my garden? Like Basil and such? So why not choose, Basilio Von Vivant, suggested by lovely Joelle Dolce Bebe (please send me your address;), because I do love that name! Now -Whimsy, Pegasus, Paladin, Midnight and Massala Chai (plus all the others) tugged at my heart strings as well, cos you all are more than swell at naming creatures. But, Basilio Bon Vivant seems quite good in this case, don't you think?
Now I am babbling nonsensically (and you can tell I made our coffee too strong), and the window for clay sculpting is closing, so I must vite vite! Ruuuuun….
See you sooner than sooooon!
🖤 ,V

Hello Vanessa… wonderful name you chose for your beautiful black horse… your photos today are gorgeous… I love the clouds the most… I also love what you say about not being sad or negative or bad… I wrote that also on a post several months ago… too many good things in life, and I love your magical stories about elves and fairies and everything enchanted… love to you… xoxo Julie Marie
That is a lovely name!
Now off for an ice cream sundae complete with fudge and sprinkles and a cherry on top! I blame you! =)
**sigh** New Age Hippie Love! All the photos are beautiful. Yes I see that man rising up to heaven! Awesome. LoVe the single little drop that you lived in…was it dry inside? I enlarged it and I’m pretty sure I see you in there playing with dolls…Oh how Deb adores her little New Age Hippie! **blows kisses**
I was laughing your whole post through…love the name for your beautiful stallion.
The cloud photos are heavenly and the mountains are absolutely gorgeous.

My gallant courser swift and good
Through story-land conveys me;
The mystic lady of the wood
With runic staff delays me;
The water-nisse sings her lays
Beside the fairy fountain;
The gold antlered white stag plays
In sunlight on the mountain.
To join his midnight gallop wild
The huntsmen oft invite me;
Upon the moonlight meadows mild
The Elfin dance delights me;
The gray-haired witch upon her fire
A cheering draught can brew me;
The crested dragon calms his ire,
And fawning grovels to me.
My courser starts and whinnies clear;
He spurs the Earth’s dominions
Upon his shoulders broad appear
Two spreading snow white pinions.
Swift as thestorm, away we fly
Through measureless expanses-
Oh no! at home in bed I lie
And dream my pleasant fancies.
Thomas the Rhymer

“When your husband goes to buy a horse,
he must buy one that has one white sock,
for they are the sturdiest and work the best.”

Love the valentines and the cheery on top.
Sweet Valentines and an even sweeter name for this majestic horse!
I can feel your twirly, over the caffeine top energy through my laptop! Good! Cuz I’m in need of some of that myself right now, I need to feel less relaxed and more panic at the thought that the midwinter balls are just DAYS away and my outfits aren’t ready!!!! – http://www.faerieworlds.com/winter/ (in case you’re interested) I’m glad you liked my name again but the winning name is PERFECT!!!! I don’t have a gorgeous stallion saint to protect my herbs, I have a sad french gargoyle with broken toes named Francois, but he does a good job nontheless.
I love the name you chose for your horse! 🙂 The Valentines are adorable, thank you!
clay???? does this mean more elves on the way?
i certainly hope so…mine are longing for another playmate!
Hello Sweet!
I can’t find your follow button, do you have one on your site? Google is working now, come follow me woman!
ciao
Joelle is a genius. Basilio Bon Vivant is a wonderfully romantic name. And It fits.
I’m on twitter now…so I can follow you there.
I love to sit and watch Somewhere in Time with you. We can ooh and ahh over how beautiful Chris and Jane are in this movie.
I just love your “declaring your love in the rain” art piece. Such a sweet pic.
Hopeing your New year is going well!
Terisa
I find your work such an inspiration to me. It is fabulous to be transported into your make believe world 😀
I have nominated you for a Sunshine Award. Please see http://louisebroomhead.blogspot.com/2010/01/sunshine-blog-award.html
Love

Basilio’s name is magical. Perfect for a handsome stead such as he. I so saw the man rising up in the clouds. I wanted to join him! How much fun would it be to be able to fly and float in the air!! Sigh!!
Tiles and babies are calling to me. So I must go for now!
Love ya
Hugging you
SueAnn
PS Got my cards today and they are ever so lovely. Thank you!!!!
What a lovely snow covered world indeed…which is just beyond perfect for all the magic you’ve described. And all that whipped cream looks just divine! I must be very hungry…I shall have to eat soon. If the time doesn’t escape me like it has you!! giggle…
Ah Vanessa it is the time of Rowan Tree Moon! yes it is !Celtic treelore & the old moon timepiece has haunted the clouds with ancient gazes held. The man in the moon fell into the clouds.
It happens!

Excellent fun! Had to run for a moment after darling toddler and am back to say, yes, with cherries on top! It is because you are joyous no matter what the world says or thinks that I know you shine. The kindreds know. We will remind you that you are sunshine and glorious breezes whenever you need it dear girl! Blessings and thanks for the sundae!
Oh! Your Valentines are the prettiest things!! How lovely of you to share such magic!! 🙂
I swear woman, you must certainly sleep with a sachet of Whimsy Dust under your pillow!
What a glorious name for your horse! I sadly could not think of anything fitting to name him. 🙁 The Valentines are so very sweet and whimsical…just like you! 🙂 Theresa
Well done Joelle; a very grand name for such a grand horse!
