HEART AND SOUL ♥️

HEART AND SOUL ♥️

The treasures that I keep, a Peltoceras, and a deep, dark, red heart; behind their secret walls enclosed series of chambers are hidden but necessitous to their existence. Perhaps, you might say, they had, at one time, a heart and a soul.

Heart and Soul ♥️

Heart and soul, I fell in love with you
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do, madly
Because you held me tight
And stole a kiss in the night
Heart and soul, I begged to be adored
Lost control, and tumbled overboard, gladly
That magic night we kissed
There in the moon mist
Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling
Never before were mine so strangely willing
But now I see, what one embrace can do
Look at me, it's got me loving you madly
That little kiss you stole
Held all my heart and soul

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Christmas Teddy Bears 🎄🧸🧸🧸🎄

 Christmas Teddy Bears   🎄🧸🧸🧸🎄 

So, have you ever wondered how the Teddy Bear got its name? I always wondered if Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States had anything to do with the toy bear's name and of course, it turns out he did. I asked my husband and of course, he knew the story but I never knew. Here is the link to 

A Short Story — “How The Teddy Bear Got Its Name”

 A beautiful little story to read to a little one at Christmas time.  

Who doesn't love a cute little Teddy Bear to sit somewhere in the house at Christmas time, if not all year through?

These two lovable Bearington Teddy Bears I bought today at Sally Ann in Kemptville and now join my little Angel Teddy Bear collection.

Dead People's Stuff , Psychometry and a New Painting "Mom & Me on Halloween "🎃🐱🐱🎃

I love hunting for treasures and coming home with a souvenir someone long ago had loved. Something old just makes a home I think. I have always believed these tokens of the heart I find on my vintage hunts hold hidden secrets and sometimes I get a picture of its old keeper especially if I bring home a group of collectibles most likely that came from the same household. I think it is easy to establish an image of the old spirit and get some inkling to their unique character. 

"Psychometry is the art of holding an object and identifying what information you receive from that object. All material things pick up psychic impressions of the people or animals that have either held or touched the object." Silver Ravenwolf

Looking at my large collection of vintage finds I'm quite sure this house is haunted...in a good way : )


Halloween is done for another year but not for me. The spooky season never stops inspiring me so I decided to paint a tiny portrait of a mom and baby ghost cats, that sadly never made it one cold winter's night. The real story was told to me by a foster and of course, I love ghost stories and Halloween.
We have had over ten feral cats and now we are down to one who lately has been coming for 1st, breakfast, second breakfast, 3rd breakfast all before noon : )I think she is a bit confused with the cold Fall weather and time.


So with the old florentine gold gilded frame and a sad kitty cat story, I painted "Mom & Me on Halloween"
