Winnie Wednesday


My good buddy Donna from Brynwood Needleworks
has a regular Friday feature showcasing her darling Welsh corgi, Fezzik.
Appropriately enough, she has dubbed this "Fezzik Friday", 
and it's always a source of entertainment.
Fez is adorable!

Having said that, I bring to you the first, and most probably LAST installment of
Winnie Wednesday

I shared these pics on Facebook awhile back, 
but felt that they deserved the much wider exposure this blog provides.
Yep, they are just that  good. {snerk}


Meet my doofus cat, Winnie.
And please excuse the iPhone pics.


To know Winnie is to know one thing.
Winnie loves laundry.

Sooooooo much laundry love Winnie has!


 Fresh, warm, straight from the dryer laundry, to be exact.


And yes, those are a pair of my husband's Jockey shorts 
she has inexplicably worked herself into and is "wearing".

I kid you not.


I know what you're thinking...


Where can ***I*** get a cat like this?!



Now taking bids.....

Lavender Love



I know what
Heaven
smells like now...


It arrives with a California postmark,
and is packaged with the utmost loving care...





 Antique European grain sack pillows, 
filled with the most divine organic lavender
you have ever experienced.
Absolutely dreamy!




 And available exclusively from my sweet friend Maria's
glorious new online shop.

Thank you Maria,
I love my beautiful pillows and sachets!


I'd also like to quickly thank my dear friend Carol Spinski
for the absolutely lovely post she dedicated to me just the other day.

Be sure to pay her a visit at her new site here.



Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Styling, Photography, Farmhouse Living....Carol Spinski


In this post, 
I shared a bit about overcoming my fears and insecurities,
insofar as they relate to how I run this here blog.

I promised that the focus of my little corner of the net
would be more on what's going on in the Twig household,
and that's still the plan.

But I simply must  alert you to a beautiful, inspiring new website
belonging to my sweet, amazing friend
Gosh, I love this gal!

She is a true Renaissance woman in every sense of the word...

Most of you probably know her from her highly influential blog,
Raised in Cotton


 {photo courtesy Carol Spinski}

She is an accomplished photographer and photo stylist, 
and her work has been featured in
Artful Blogging, Somerset Life, Romantic Country, Where Women Create,  
Somerset Home and Romantic Homes, just to name a few.


{photo courtesy Carol Spinski}

Her GORGEOUS 1865 farmhouse will be featured in the fabulous Fifi O'Neill's
utterly fabulous new book, Romantic Prairie Style.



She is also an antique dealer, 
and is co-owner of the vintage shop Raised in Cotton in Raymore, Missouri.
Be sure to visit her online shop, it's just wonderful!

She is an RN, a wife and a mom.
Heck, this gal does it ALL!

But to me, she has been a creative lifeline and a godsend.

Always just an e-mail or a text message away, she has helped me immeasurably
as I have struggled to grow as a photographer.

Always there with an encouraging word or a suggestion,
her cheerleading has truly helped me to believe in myself.
I truly would not have had the courage to recently take on 
my first big photo shoot had it not been for Carol.

She believed I could master my scary Nikon D700,
and whaddaya know?

She was right. :-)

Having selflessly helped me  with my  fears and insecurities,
I think that EVERYBODY needs a Carol in their life!

Head on over and get to know my friend, Carol.

And On the Third Day...


...God said
"Let there be water"
and voila!
Our pipes un-froze and once again,
after three long days of frozen pipes and no shower, (ewwww)
we had running water!

 { from my recent photo shoot}

No more carting the wet stuff in, we're all set.....
(fingers crossed, another freeze coming next week)

~ahem~

la-la-la-la
can't hear you weatherman,
fingers in ears,
la-la-la-la

It's a bit of a mixed blessing, as we have a cracked pipe as a result of the freeze,
but all things considered, I'll take it.

Have a great weekend!
I know I'm going to, I FINALLY get to take a shower, woo hoo!!!

:-)
