Etsy Giveaway! 100th post & Power Animal of the Month: Pets!

What better way to celebrate my 100th post than with an Etsy giveaway! And can I just tell you that I'm super excited that this very 100th post happens to be a Power Animal of the Month one?

To celebrate I am treating one lucky visitor with the Etsy item of their choice from this PAOTM montage. This collection serves as my July and August Power Animal of the Month and celebrates various pets I had growing up. As I write this, old lady Peaches sits snoring at my hip and I'm reminded of the solace pets provide us in difficult times. And I've selected items from sellers that I really, really love. I hope you do, too.



To be eligible to win, leave a comment here on this post before midnight, August 20th. Be sure to say which Etsy item you'd like to win. I'll post the winner on August 21st!

Power Animal of the Month: Honeybee!

Here in Maine, the dandelions, tulips and daffodils are alive with the buzzing of honeybees.  It's such a welcome sound after six months of crunching through snow and ice. No bees were harmed in the making of this power animal roundup, though my sensibilities were offended often from really awful bee-based puns [see: bee mine, bee kind, you're bee-u-ti-ful!] 

I also included a lovely bee box (#1) for bees of the real-life variety. Like Miss Kinder says, "Without bees LEB, you know what!? We'd be so poor and starving, we would even have no food for a million years!"

Power Animal of the Month: Octopus!

I don't want you to miss a moment of April Octopus Fever so I'll get right to it.  

Some octopus facts:
*  These invertebrates have the incredible ability to hide in plain sight
*  They can also detach an arm if need be, and it will regrow in 6-8 weeks
*  Studies have shown that they have both a short-term and long-term  memory
* A baby octopus is pretty darn small. Newly born ones are the size of a flea
* The octopus has three hearts, which sounds both complicated and romantic.

Power Animal of the Month: Hippopotamus

I know, I know, we're half-way through March, but I had completely forgotten about this regular feature of mine: Power Animal of the Month! You might recall that February was alive with my love of hedgies and all things hedgehog

I dedicate March to the hippopotamus because they are faster than they look and they can walk underwater. I like that in a power animal.

The Universe Sensing my February Power Animal

It should be noted that this very lovely and free embroidery pattern was posted today on lollychops blog. It's embroidery week; she said so! Fun and hedgie, to boot.

All Things Hedgehog



I'm having a thing lately where the hedgehog keeps finding its way to me. From pictures to jewelry and this most amazing project that Miss Kinder and friend have been working on every morning before school. I'll take photos of that for you soon, but I will tell you it's the most beautiful animal world you've ever seen. In the meantime, have a look at hedgehogs you can arm yourself with. They are my February power animal.
