love + donkeys

So romantic and lovely, via This Modern Romance (via I Suwanee)...

menagerie

This is truly a fantasy land of a house. I imagine the animals coming to life at night and whooping it up around the dining room table. I have a feeling the zebra is the life of the party!

Tuesday Eye Candy... Fuzzy Donkeys

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a soft spot for animals of all kinds, but donkeys are really at the top of the list. They are just so gentle and wise... and adorable. Someday I hope to live in a place where I can keep one or two of my very own. If you can believe it, I had actually hired a donkey to appear in my engagement photo shoot last week, but alas scheduling conflicts foiled my plans. Since then, I've had to settle for these gorgeous images from DIY Diva, who is apparently in the market for a miniature donkey herself. Lucky girl!

Oh Deer! New Goodies from Sharon Montrose...

Sharon Montrose, my other favorite animal portraitist, has some adorable new goodies in her Etsy shop. The so-very-sweet baby deer pillow comes in 3 sizes and a variety of cuddly backing fabrics. Perfect for a baby's room, don't you think? Meanwhile, for your book-loving friend, or perhaps for yourself, how about these sets of bookmarks? Each set of three features a group of hoofed or feathered creatures, and for only $10....
