Sooooo, my honeysuckle on the northside fence has been disappearing...... You didn't see me eating it........ I wasn't even close to it......

Well, the scoop is I have started a new blog called "Cowgirl Style." My reason for starting it stemmed from a bad recent experience with paypal. It seems we feed this monster left and right, me with Ebay, my own website and Etsy. I thought, wouldn't it be nice to have a "no paypal" zone where I could peddle a few wares and keep the money in my own pocket. A simple way I thought was just to post some items on a blog, so the idea was born. An idea born for one reason, it quickly turned into something bigger for me. As you all know I'm a vintage image cowgirl collector, obsessed. I'm a cowgirl admirer, and a cowgirl at heart, so selling is only a small part of what it is all about. The more I thought about it, the more I loved the idea of my own cowgirl blog. There will be cowgirl photos, artwork, recipes, history, and just some whooping and holler'in and horse talk.

I'll fill you in soon! A hint, it's cowgirly ! Photo is a recent addition to my collection.

If you are like me you talk to your animals alot, and every morning the conversation goes more or less like this.... Good morning Luna, are you ready to start the day & go to the barn? Good morning Indi... lets get your oats big girl. Yes Hannah, momma will throw your ball for you.... {As Bitsy tries to grab at Indi through the fence, growling, like she does every morning} No Bitsy, Indi is not what's for dinner... The last question of the morning is of course for Tessa.... And what havoc will you be wreaking today ?

Photo taggged by Jane at Jane Augustein - My Life in Pictures The rules are to pick the 6th photo folder and the 6th photo, post and blog about it, tag 6 others {or because I am a rule changer, I'll tag 3}This was the photo ! I got Indi when she was nine months old, and hadn't had her very long. Some family members came over to see her and she came right up like always. She then plopped right down and took a nap, while we stood there and talked over her. Thats my Indi, not a worry in the world.... I'm photo tagging Zan at Wild at Heart Farm and Sharon at Awesome Ass Acres and Linda from The Briar Rose Gate These are fun blogs, be sure to visit them !

I recieved this very nice award from Zan at Wild at Heart Farm She has a really great blog you will truly enjoy. This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary and personal values every day. {I copied that from Zan} The rules for this award are to post the award with a link to the giver, and pass it on to up to fifteen other blogs, and let them know they were chosen. I know many blogs who deserve this, I'm a little shy about passing these along so if I comment on your blog regularly, consider yourself awarded if you want to be !
