Sometimes, especially when I see something bunny themed, I think of you and your darling rabbit, too. <br /><br />Aww, I love that - animals are so perceptive and smart. I always delight in making a connection with one I encounter like that as well. I find such "meetings" can stay with you ever bit as much as those that transpire between myself and another person. <br /><br />Big hugs & many thanks for both of your lovely recent blog comments,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-37208891720890818912015-01-31T01:52:54.854-08:002015-01-31T01:52:54.854-08:00It's Annie!

She's a pretty girl.<br />I too think she'd be a head turner and that reminds me of a trip into town last summer. I saw walking toward me a lady and a gorgeous dog. I admired the lovely dog in my head and when we passed, I turned to look back only to find the dog was also looking back at me! That quite made my day :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238571735302117986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-9164174932472120562015-01-30T03:39:50.914-08:002015-01-30T03:39:50.914-08:00Thank you sweetly, dear Kate.

She is oodles of fun and such a sweet dog, but she's always extremely energetic (way more so than any of the dogs my family had when I was growing) which can be draining on me because of my health. Thankfully that was more of an issue when she was a small puppy and there was so much to teach her while also trying to curb her energy. She's mellowed a little bit, but will clearly always be a super high energy dog (which we think is more the labrador half of her than the American bulldog side). One day if we're able to move to a bigger house with a yard, she will be in her element as she'll have lots more room to run and play in all day. <br /><br />Those Scottie buttons are adorable and I can hardly wait to see what she makes with them, too. It's always such a lovely feeling to know a reader/online friend found something they liked through one of my posts and I'm delighted that Joanna did so in those darling little buttons. <br /><br />I will definitely keep in mind that you like dog brooches and scarves when looking for future birthday and Christmas gifts for you, my dear friend.<br /><br />Big hugs & tons of happy Friday wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-34166938726882202092015-01-30T03:31:13.252-08:002015-01-30T03:31:13.252-08:00That's the same kind of feeling I had when put...That's the same kind of feeling I had when putting this post together. I was having a cuteness overload the whole time! :)<br /><br />I strongly suspect given the nearly identical (small) bust and waist sizes that this dress was originally made for a child, tween or very slender/small chested teenager. It would have been for an especially petite woman, but everything about it feels more intended for a child to me. Whatever the case, it certainly is darling. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your lovely comment, dear gal. I always adore hearing from you!<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-21755735307409308582015-01-29T08:31:20.245-08:002015-01-29T08:31:20.245-08:00Happy Birthday to Annie, she looks absolutely gorg...Happy Birthday to Annie, she looks absolutely gorgeous and sounds like lots of fun.

I would love to add all of these fab pieces to my home and closet, too. <br /><br />I've always wanted a Standard Poodle. They're gorgeous, whip smart, and (from what I've heard) easy to train.

She's as sweet as the come, but also as energetic as they make them, so it usually takes an extended play session or lengthy walk to have a snowball's chance of getting a non-blurry photo of her like this one. Hopefully as she continues to mature, she'll be a little more willing to pose for the camera and I can finally do a shoot of the two of us together. <br /><br />I don't think bridge is all that hard to learn, based on what I've heard. I just need to find someone who knows it still these days to teach me (or, I'm sure, failing that, I could teach myself from a book or online how-to videos).<br /><br />Thank you very much for your lovely comment - tons of hugs coming your way from both of us,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19118723067540079352015-01-28T07:35:34.919-08:002015-01-28T07:35:34.919-08:00Oh my gosh, I love this so much!

She looks like such a sweet and fun dog. :)<br /><br />It makes perfect sense to me that so many pooch-related items are fun and even a little humourous, like that nervous letter holder (tax time doth approach!) and those adorable salt & pepper shakers! The playing cards are charming as can be—I can just picture ladies around the table playing with them. I've not played bridge before myself, but since so much news was surely swapped across the table as the gals picked up some pin money, it can't be terribly difficult.

I don't yet have an Scottie Bakelite brooches, but my most prized Bakelite bangle is a butterscotch (fitting! :D) hued one with Scotties etched into it. I'd really love to add a brooch to my collection, too (come on, thrift store!), <br /><br />I could so easily see you having a Scottie. They would be a perfect match for your gorgeous mid-century looks and of course, and more importantly, a wonderful companion and friend to you and your family. If you ever get a dog, he/she and Annie could be "paw pals", just as their "moms" are pen pals. :)<br /><br />Thank you, my darling friend - huge hugs to you from both of us! <br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-37940320108469173982015-01-27T17:47:49.138-08:002015-01-27T17:47:49.138-08:00Hi sweet Liz, thank you for your fabulously excite...Hi sweet Liz, thank you for your fabulously excited comment - I get that way with various blog posts I encountered, too, when they really speak to me on one level or another.

Please take all the time you'd like (it doesn't expire after all). I've been listing up a massive storm this month and plan to continue to as winter wears on and we head towards spring (glorious spring!). Just yesterday actually, I hit a wee milestone in the shop when I crossed over the 300+ listings mark (that is to say, I currently have over 300 items available in my Etsy shop, which is more than I've ever had there at once before). I'm aiming for 400+ by the end of March. I have the stock to hand, it's just a matter of time and enough good health days. Even just getting to half that number by then would be great. All this to say, I've got lots more coming soon if you haven't found quite the right item(s) to use your store credit on yet. :)<br /><br />Big hugs from both of us (me + Annie),<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
