Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The 2025 Valentine Shop & Hop opened a few days ago. I haven’t had time to go through it all yet, but with the handy guide (see the previous link) you can always hit your favourite stores first. For me, it was deviousMind and Teegle this time around. deviousMind to pick up this gorgeous gift outfit which comes in red or pink and Teegle to make up my mind as to which of the 100 new PBR coats I wanted to buy. That was not an easy task! There are so many gorgeous new coats for both the dogs and the horses, and I am sure I will be back for more (they are at 20% off at the Shop & Hop), but for now I picked up Pearl (the light grey) and Sizzle (the sorrel).

The Amour hair from Wasabi, with optional hearts sprinkled all through it, was a Happy Weekend special a few weeks ago, but seeing as it was so well suited to the Valentine-themed gown I just had to wear it now. I do love a long and flowing style, and it matches the beautiful manes on the horses. ;)
