I Need A Name

How cute is this wooden puppet?? When I go to my consignment spaces to work, I try hard to not shop the other spaces. LOL! Last week I spotted this guy up on a shelf ~ we made eye contact ~ he jumped right into my waiting arms!! He was a mess ~ his lines were all tangled and he couldn't move much of anything . Enter the help of my DH ~ once detangled, Mr. Puppet was all smiles. He happily hangs in my studio and we smile at each other every single day!! He needs a name. Any suggestions? When he decides which name he likes, he just might send you a little surprise!

Silke Powers said...: Oh, how fun!! I had a marionette once, but never quite mastered the art of moving it. The strings always got tangled. I think he looks like "Harald Hampel" to me....

I'm glad he found a new home with you!! Hugs, Silke

PeregrineBlue said...: i think a short name would suit him best. i love the name luke but maybe he looks more like an elmer? maybe the name of your best male friend (not including your husband ofcourse).

yes, we are moving. i am so happy to have finally decided on patching things up with richard. we have been together for 6 years now and it's about time we settled down together.

lots of packing coming up.

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
