Worms and bears and stuff like that...plus a discount coupon!

These adorable little caterpillars are all over the place right now!  They are so cute...and curious, but I'm pretty sure they will sting the crap out of you!  And then there's the bear...

...he started showing up at our bird feeders about a month ago.  We haven't seen him in a couple of weeks...maybe he/she is out looking for a mate to hunker down with this winter!  Here he is with a mouth full of suet!  And then there's the deer...

...we have several families of deer that live in our forest...this is one of the babies.  They are so precious!  I love seeing them in the mornings and late afternoons. And why do I love animals so much?

Because they bring us joy.
Because they are at our mercy.
Because they teach us kindness. And compassion. And understanding.
Because they are voiceless.
Because they wish us no harm.
Because they are our companions. And because we are all animals. I will never stop being a voice, for them.

Happy Labor Day!  Enjoy 30% off from my Etsy shop!!  Use coupon code ANIMAL ~ coupon code valid until midnight Friday, September 5th!  Enjoy!

Love and peace always ~ Kathy

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more." ~ Lord Byron

Zen, Karma and a 25% Off Coupon Code!

When I'm out walking in the woods, I'm always amazed at what I can find by just standing still and looking around.  I feel like it's natures "gifts" to me...things most people will never see.  My little "gift" yesterday was this gorgeous "Lesser Maple Spanworm Moth" that was resting on a stick.  

 And then I found this little guy today...his wings are so tattered and torn, I could hardly believe he was still flying...but that's what life is all about.  No matter how tattered and torn you become, you just have to keep on flying.  
 
I took this as a sign from my daddy...I always think of him when I see a black butterfly.  Yesterday was the 14th anniversary of his flight to the dark side of the moon, or so he believed...and one day, I'll join him.  

And who thinks Friday the 13th is unlucky?  Just look what I found yesterday!  It's all about Karma!  Doesn't have anything to do with "luck"...or so I believe.

I have a bunch of new "Zen" bracelets in the shop!  Check em out!  These are really awesome and fun to wear.  And since they are made with elastic, you can easily pop them on and off, or pair them up with other bracelets.  You'll love them, I promise!  But, if you are undecided about which one is your favorite [like I am], use coupon code KARMA25 and get 25% off of your entire purchase!  That's right, 25% OFF!!  Just some little Karma, from me to you.  Hurry though, this coupon will expire next Friday [June 20th]...at midnight...just like Cinderella's pumpkin!

 I just couldn't end this post without sharing some cuteness ~ :)

Happy Saturday!  Love and peace always ~ Kathy

"When a BIRD is alive, it eats ants...when the bird is dead, ants eat the bird! Time and circumstances can change at any time...Lets not devalue or hurt anyone or anything in Life...We may be powerful today...But remember, TIME is more powerful, one tree makes a million match sticks.. But when time comes....only one match stick is needed to burn a million trees...lets be good and do good earthlings." ~ Karmic Saying

Sunday Mornings, Sunshine & Surprises!

It's beginning to feel a little like Winter around here...temps are below fifty, the air is crisp and cool, but the sunshine pouring through my studio window keeps me warm:

I love lazy Sunday mornings...the house is nice and quiet, the birds are singing and my coffee cup warms my hands.  I'm looking forward to the holidays this year.  We have Thanksgiving plans with some of our good friends [and lucky for us they are chefs!].  And then my sister and her new boyfriend are coming for Christmas!  I'm really excited about that!  I finally get to meet the mystery man!  Stoked!

And I just want to say how thankful I am to all of you that read my ramblings, send me surprises in the mail [you know who you are] and purchase jewelry from my shop.  To show my thanks, I'm offering a 20% discount through November 30th, so you can get a jump start on your holiday shopping!  Thank you!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Love and peace always ~ Kathy
