"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Animal Wednesday....It's a Mim Day!


I had intended to do an Animal Wedneday Post with my beloved Feral Furballs....(as I have cat-feeding duties this week).....but, of course, it's raining today....so it looks like my brood won't show up until the rain stops.  But, I was in luck - because a package arrived from Mim and she came to my rescue!  I bought another of her magical paper mache bowls....and inside - was one of Mim's "Famous Fish" cards!  Isn't it gorgeous! 


As I began to unwrap my package... I couldn't help but notice how Mim had wrapped my purchase in protective layers of PURPLE and PINK!  And...had also included this wonderful ornament (complete with favourite Hummingbirds, hearts and lilac colours).....

Gosh, I almost hated to undo the ribbons and unwrap the package......  but, as I knew what was inside, I succumbed and here it is...


I LOVE THIS BOWL!  It is magical and musical (if you look closely, there are musical notes meandering throughout the bowl) and it makes me happy! When Mim posted it on her Etsy site....I KNEW it had to be mine!  Thank you for parting with it! 
Tomorrow - a sunny day...so I will have more Animal Thursday photos!  Until then, enjoy the "Mim Fishies" and HAW to all!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥

    I covet that bowl!! I have to remember to ask her what gold paint she uses. It's amazing!
    She does package things in a very special way. Even at YART, remember??

    I hope the sun DOES shine for you and the kitties today!

    lovely bowl. it is magical. and the fish is cute too. oh, they had a debate in my poetry group as to whether i should call the cats in my poet "wild" or "feral" and I thought you called your guys wild so I stuck with that. I suppose feral is more correct.

    Love, Suki

    Suki, I guessed you would like this bowl...when Mim first posted it....I just HAD to buy it....magically compelled!

    As to "my" Ferals - well, they are wild (sort of).....to most....but not to me....they rub against me, let me pet them and meow most insistently for their food!

    Sending you and Bibitty many, many hugs! Let's talk soon!

    Ah, T et D,

    Actually, it's now my "Ring" Bowl...because of the golden rings that encircle it! Plus. Mim had added musical notes throughout....you will see when you come visit... I think Wotan and the "Gang" would covet it!

    Love,

    I loved this bowl when I first saw it on etsy as well. It fits you, Robin, and I'm glad you've got it. That wonderful blue is your colour...I feel I could get lost in it.

    Isn't it great to have such talented friends. When I need a gift, I know I can go to any number of sites and get something unique!!

    Hi Robin!

    I have no idea why your posts are not showing up on my dashboard---not ignoring, but the fool Blogger is about to make me pull out my bleached hair! ACK!
    Lovely things indeed, and the bowl, oh my, exceptional both in color and design!
    Forgive my absence.....

    XXOO~~

    Robin, would your bowl be what's called a singing bowl?

  24. RobinApril 20, 2011 at 12:29 PM

    CS...yes, there is something magical about certain bowls....and Mim is a true "sorcercess" when it come to creating them! How are you? You have been very quiet in the blogging world....

    Robin, a singing roll is a specific kind of Tibetan Buddhist bowl that makes tones that some people use as an aid to meditation.

  33. SnowbrushApril 20, 2011 at 1:45 PM

    "Singing roll," ha, although that might be nice too. Every time you bit into one, it would make lovely tones to enhance your gustatory experience.

    Snow - your "singing roll" comment made me laugh out loud! You didn't mention your surgery.... but I am still thinking of you and sending the most positive, healing thoughts.

    Hugs to you, my friend!
