The Corral at the Ranch

I'm getting ready to start a huge drapery job (YAY!) so I guess I won't be painting the Den this weekend.  In the meantime, meet some of the "livestock" that always get to come along on every move.


Race horse Haynes has been a long time favorite


I got this guy at the flea market years ago.  He is always a hit at Derby/Godfather parties and has even been off to college in South Carolina.  I wonder what he has to tell me?




Some of you have already recognized this guy as a Bombay Co. purchase.  RIP Bombay Co.  Won't he look fabulous against Knoxville Gray walls.........someday?


Last, and maybe least after all, I got this one at a great shop in Nashville called William's Home Place.  I'm not sure what he is actually made of (resin?) but it doesn't occur naturally.  For some reason, I am almost compelled to spray paint him turquoise.  Oh, I'm sensing a "tablescape" comin' on!




And so, adieu from my happy "Blog Spot."   What a lovely way to spend a Friday afternoon!  Have a great weekend!!!!!

We have a similar horse to your last one -- a bit more colorful and made of ceramic. And we have the Bombay one as well -- I like your vignette with that one -- I've got mine stuck on top of a piece of furniture -- not anything special certainly not a vignette.

Thanks for finding my blog! Clever play on words with your blog title!

Can I just move in?

I had to smile when I saw your post over at Martha's "place". We moved to Lubbock from La Jolla, CA in a long-ago January. Imagine our shock to find nothing in bloom. Actually, to find nothing but mesquite and tumbleweeds. Through great effort, we managed a lovely backyard "oasis". Although the landscape was barren, the people were wonderful and we remain good friends with many although we've moved on.

Best,
Bonnie

Thanks for stopping by! I haven't seen Ina in a while but have all of her cookbooks. I love her relationship with Jeffry and her home and gardens. Guess you might say I'm an Inawantabe!! Wheatberries can be a little hard to come by. I get mine at Whole Foods.

Best,
Bonnie

That last vignette, the table with the chairs,
I'll take it as is. How much for shipping? ;-)
