Objects of Affection

DonnyBag

Donny's trusty bag. With him wherever he goes. By Saddleback Leather.

WhiteAss

Winged ass. Gift from Kathleen. Of course.

Dummy

TrouserLeg

Ventriloquist dummy my dad got me for Christmas. Complete surprise. Envy of Donny. Freaks my kids out. Naturally.

MyBoots

My honest-to-goodness cowboy boots. Unfortunately a little to small, and I'm unwilling to commit the time and pain to breaking them in. Gift from my father-in-law. He bought them at the Oklahoma City stockyards. Told you they were honest-to-goodness.

Snap

MyFavoritePearlSnap

My favorite vintage pearl snap shirt.

LoveMonkeys

RedMonkey

Love monkeys.  These salt and pepper shakers actually reminded me of my Charlie and Sam (brothers). You can buy it if you ignore the eyelashes on the red one.

BillsExplanation

BillsWell

My husband, Chris, got me this storybook-style Buffalo Bill "Silence Of The Lambs" print from artist Josh Cooley for my birthday in July.  Still needs a frame.

ClosetRobot2

Robot costume, we made for Charlie for his 4-year old Halloween costume.

MustacheMug

Vintage "Mustache Mug." Bought for Donny for Christmas. Kept for myself, instead.

AllPacked

Cartoon Car. Amy Coe for Target. Pre-baby idyllic purchase, dreaming of all retro toys in a perfectly quaint and eclectic nursery. Babies could care less. I still love. Lives by my laptop.

SwissMiss

Swiss Miss Shadowbox. Picked up in Fredericksburg, TX at a shop called Red.

Fawning

HeadOverHooves

MrRabbit

Totem Figurines by Kids On Roof.  Also got while shopping in Fredericksburg, TX.
