This is the way I wish I could get thoughts out of my head and into the world. So dreamy.
AND swoon

cuz that’s the way we roll on wren’s first soccer match of the season.
oh and just in case you were wanting a fancy one here is how I found out about this little bit of delightfulness.
To commemorate the occasion International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD) on September 19th, I’m introducing Barnacle here. He’s over at the shop. (ITLAPD is a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers, of the United States, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate) Also I found a bit of pretty cheeky pirate lingo should ye be a little rusty in your anchor!
10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?
8. Come on up and see me urchins.
7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.
6. I’d love to drop anchor in your lagoon.
5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?
4. How’d you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.
2. Well blow me down?
And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …
1. Prepare to be boarded.
They don’t call me Long John because my head is so big.
You’re drinking a Salty Dog? How’d you like to try the real thing?
Wanna shiver me timbers?
I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted.
Brwaack! Polly want a cracker? … Oh, wait. That’s for Talk Like a PARROT Day.
That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on.
Let’s get together and haul some keel.
That’s some treasure chest you’ve got there.
Top Ten Pickup Lines for the Lady Pirates

10. What are YOU doing here?
9. Is that a belayin’ pin in yer britches, or are ye … (this one is never completed)
8. Come show me how ye bury yer treasure, lad!

1. You. Pants Off. Now!
(I am definitely going to file this one away for good keeping!)
The Secret Keeper by Kate Coombs
A few years back when my first girl was a wee one, we stumbled upon this yarn at the library. It has drifted in and out of my thoughts ever since. Haunting in that good way. This owl above (Bracken) was influenced by this story. Mine is a little different… Bracken was born mysteriously without the ability to speak, thus making her and exceptional listener. The animals of the forest come to her with all varieties of secrets, happy and sad knowing she can never reveal them. Once whispered to her or into the small doors of her home they turn to pearls, jewels and the occasional lump of coal. A cup of tea is always warm an waiting for the next soul desperate to be rid of thier secret.
And yes those doors really open. Behind them are the little jewels, pearls. I am always bothered by a door placed to inspire one’s imagination that is sealed shut. I much rather have it open to reveal an empty cavern. We have one really sweet door of the such on a trail by our home. Visitors are to bring a treasure to leave for the gnome that lives there and in return you can trade for a different treasure that has been left by another visitor. We have still to find them all. There are apparently many spread out along the trail.
