A Full Stable

We had some new equine visitors this week.

This is Jewel -

one of a pair of twins -

and a couple of brand new horses - 

Strawberry II and her less-pink friend.

You know all about Strawberry already, but you might not 

have met Puzzle - he's a bit of a country cowboy horse.

They hung around downstairs in the sewing room for 

a few days while I was working on their bridles

and today they were finally all ready to go. 

There's a silent auction at Emily's preschool next week 

to raise money for their scholarship fund. We are giving 

Strawberry II, Puzzle and Jewel to them - hopefully some 

nice families will bid a princely sum and take them home. 

I'm quaking in the knees as I type this - and crossing my 

fingers that someone will want them at all. 

The kind husband and excited children think so, 

but I am suffering from the Night-Before-Craft-Sale Jitters.

Tomorrow we'll be handing them over to the committee 

in charge. Jewel's twin will be staying home with Emily, 

so she will probably survive the farewell ceremony. 

Speaking of surviving, them horses/unicorn might be 

bedding down in a school storeroom for the next week, 

so we're sending some food with them to tide them over 

till they get adopted. See this post for food pictures!
