A little whinny is on it's way!

Okay so my fun news is that I am having a baby... a baby horse that is! My mom is leasing a mare who we haave wanted to breed to this gorgeous stallion (the hottie below!). The mare is a thoroughbred and the stallion is an Arabian. She is due August 17th and I am so very excited! My mom brought her up a week ago. I can not wait to see if it is a colt or a filly and if she/he will have the pretgy dished Arabian face of it's father!This one makes my heart pound a little!

Hopefully we will have a little baby like this one. This little cutie is one of his offspring.
A very exciting time! This is going to be a long month!

Marley Monday!

I watched Marley and Me last night. I wanted to read the book first but I couldn't help myself. I weeped like a little baby! Dogs are amazing creatures! and I still want a kitty! Hey, they could be best friends! Do you have a story of very different animals being the best of friends? Have a fantastic Monday! photo found here

Freedom is found in their mane!

"In their innocence and wisdom, in their connection to the earth and its most ancient rhythms, animals show us the way back to home they have never left." ~Susan Chernak McElory

My beautiful, my beautiful! That standest meekly by, with thy proudly arched and glossy neck and dark and fiery eye! ~Caroline Norton

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
~Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954
{my favorite!!!}

I adore the work of Tony Stromberg! He brings us into the world of horses. His photographs capture the spirit, innocence, and at the same time, the strength of equus. In Tonys' own words, “The spirit of the horse is a magnificent teacher to humanity." I was unable to get some of my favorites so I highly recommend you go to his sight and see these amazing images.

I really really like (okay Love)...

...butterflys on the wall! I love how the first one looks like the butterflys are fluttering out of the mobile cluster! The second one is from Candadian House and Home 2009 Spring issue via Poppytalk and the first I can not for the life of me recall! I have searched and searched and if someone knows, please tell me!
*Cindy found it at Pottery Barn Kids! Thanks Cindy!*

"Happiness is like a butterfly: The more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will com and sit softly on your shoulder" ~Henry David Thoreau

...this perfectly feminine wedding dress from J. Crew! I love the way it doesn't really "fall" it just sits perfectly around her. And that flower! Sigh!

...that my heart will always belong to this J.Crew wedding dress from 2007! Whitney at Darling Dexter was inspired by the Daphne gown. Her mom created a gorgeous dress that I am so envious of!

...the idea of curtains adorned with doilies!

I hope you are Happy! ♥Emma

The Tiny and Sweet

It is raining here. Although I don't really mind it today. I am in the mood for rain. It's relaxing and allows you to lounge and be lazy. I enjoy listening to it outside my window or even sitting on my porch and watching it for a little while. But before I do that I thought I would share some little babies that tug at my heart strings. Some are a little different but adorable all the same!


1} kjdrill flickr 2} bug-boy flickr 3} from flickr and I hafve seemed to have lost the source, still searching 4} weheartit, which led me to a website that was not the source, anyone know? 5}ffffound 6} boston.com via Indian Summer 7} hjfklein flickr 8}feminaerecta flickr 9} this last one is so amazing! This little guys name is Rupert. And he was born through c-section after his mother was killed by a car. You can read a bit more here. Just look at the tiny miracle of life!

Have fantastic Sat! ♥Em

I was given a another sweet award (wow, such lovely people out there!)! This time by the very dreamy Micaela and her escape The Drifter and The Gypsy!

Thank you lovely Micaela!

I wanted to share with some talented blogs that have a lot of lovely words to share with us...

I wanted to pass this onto Jennifer and her Random Ramblings! She is the sweetest and writes her life in a line of wonderful short stories that make you laugh, love, and see life's little adventures as fun amusement park rides. Truly, go read! (p.s. she also helps save animals, whats not fabulous about that?!)
The Piper Society. I find this Avery unique and lovely. And even though at times she will use few words they are strong. I like it here.
Five Feet Below. She writes and writes and you want to keep reading. A little verse, a little poem, a paragraph or two.
Impluse. She is full of words that can move you around. In her own tongue, "I drink up metaphors and chew on words." She is also crafty.
I admire those who can move with words! Thank you!

I was also tagged and still have to share my love for the book I'm reading. I will save for tomorrow!
