I read this book many years ago and loved it so, so much. I would love to read it again if anyone ever finds it at a 2nd hand shop or anything. I'm sure I could find it on eBay or whatever or just buy it new, I have a listing-hunting going on eBay, and I don't actually WANT it new; I like the way old books smell and feel :) Keep your eyes peeled, please? Obv I will pay anyone back who finds it :)



Now, I have been thinking the past few days that I would really love a photoshoot with my ponies again. I treasure Sarah's shots, and I want more. I just wish I could have gotten some shots with Danny by her. Well, I figure use my available resources and set up a shoot for myself :) I'm surrounded by outstanding, talented photographers, surely I can work something out, no? So I asked Alex if he'd please shoot for me, Mic has also agreed to come shoot and assist. Both guys seems quite keen after I told them what I want. No, not nude :P Always thought those Lady Godiva shots look extremely painful :P Have a look below see what I'm sort of planning, with my own bent, of course. I found the most goregous top on eBay which I HAD to have so brought it outright, found the skirt I wanted at Big W of all places and am hitting the op shop tomorrow to see what other treasures I can find. Also found some great boots to suit, and which can double as going out to dinner boots. May even do some barefoot stuff if it's not too freezing cold. Plan is ride my girly whirly pony up into Lysterfield where I will meet the boys. Want shots in the Stand, on the fire-track and along the Orchard. I wish I could take Dan up there too but that's not gonna happen - Dan HATES being ponied and Desi HATES being the pony, and vice versa. :P Unless Tanya or Shar or Melissa feel like coming, which may be hard since there is a chance it'll happen on a weekday rather than weekend. I'll get changed once I meet the boys on site. I am NOT riding in gypsy gear along a public road :D Although, that might channel Dom across the ocean to here, so might be worth it...:D



no white, obviously. Won't suit Desi or me. I'm going for earthy tones, blues and I need to find some silver bangles and I found this FUNKY AS HELL necklace that will be SO perfect. I should have grabbed it. Can't get it out of my mind. Gonna go get it tomorrow :)

ahhhh buit see I want the OLD version, if possible. The newer books just don't have the soul :D I don't know if that makes any sense. I can get it new easily enough, but it just wouldn't be the same, ya know?
If you do ever find it, grab it!

Addall.com is my favorite used book source. Lots of copies of the book here, in various conditions and at various prices.

Finding an old book you loved is like reuniting with a long lost friend.

Well, you'll be a bit out of the saddle for a while, so why not give yourself a treat and come down to Melbourne? :) We have really comfy seats here :D
I was actually hoping to come down there later this year. See, my aunt is coming from Austria and she was going to meet mum in Perth for a week before they both fly of to Uluru (sp?) to have a sun-rise breakfast for her birthday, but now it looks like they are going to Sydney instead (BLERGH!) AND it's right in the middle of the time I am in Thailand!! SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! I prob won't have the funds to come down until after summer, which sort of stinbks. I really have to get these floors done, and that's uh, yeah, not cheap! BUT YES! I swear as soon as I can I will fly up there. I am DYING to meet you guys!!!!!

!!!! I didn't even THINK of that !!!!! Well, I have the top, the skirt, the boots. Got a GORGEOUS tinkery necklace today (which the kittens adore!) and I have a dragon pin to put on the top. I need some bangles tho, if you've any I can borrow, esp if you have anything with green, red, orange or purple in it. Also I was thinking if like a cute ribbon on lace-y head tie or neck chocker if you have anything like that, but I can work around it :D I was also thinking it would look silly-cute if I had a pair of those firy/angel wings you see people wearing sometimes, obv not for ALL the shots, just a couple. That's it, you're coming, I reckon we could do something awesome with you on Mocha or Danny or Desi too!!!!

Oh, NOW you'll wear a skirt for a horsey photoshoot, after I've left! :p Oh well, I'll just have to come back to do some shots with you and Danny!

Looking forward to the results. :)

You know me, I'll only ever do something like that if I decide to do it. It took me a loooong time to build the confidence to even BE photographed, so this is a biiiig step :D
