Before and After 30 days
It has been 30 days since I first rode Red. It is almost one month since I adopted him. Time for my first set of before and after shots. We have been working hard to put muscle on him as he had atrophy and a soft, wiggly neck. It will take a year to grow out the mane, have to be patient with that. He was very nervous a month ago, now he is sweet and calm and knows that he is loved!

A New Shop
I just opened a new etsy shop to go with my new website that is being built.
It will offer jewelry pieces that are on the One Kings Lane docket that are not being seen right now.
Wonderful things to be found. I will add about 10 per day until it gets up to about 700.
Please check it out.

A New Horse and an Old Sales Platform
It's been an eventful month around these parts. First of all the most magical thing happened. Just a few days before KhalaBlu's family came home and my lease was to end, the most amazing opportunity fell into my lap.
Due to a wacky chain of events, I have now adopted a beautiful chestnut Arabian gelding named "Red". The name that he was born with is "Red Wolf". How Native American is that? Perfect for a girl who buys and sells turquoise! His show name is "Rafferty Bey". Everyone just calls him "Red".
He was already located at KhalaBlu's boarding stable, on the same row as my favorite morning riding buddies. He is an outstanding mount with years of training and show experience. He is now learning about the relaxed life of a trail horse. We are having great fun together. I feel so blessed.
This is Red with my trainer. I need lessons to know how to properly queue him according to his training. I love learning new things.
And this is my view from the saddle with my friends. I love this horse and my rides with friends.

This is Red relaxing a bit .Very sweet boy who can really move out.
Now for the second half of the post. I have decided, after 17 years on ebay, to remove all but 12 of my listings. I can no longer operate under their insane seller policies and ineffective search engine. It is sad to see a website that was so strong and so exciting to shop and sell on become an ineffective shell of what it was. I am moving my listings to my etsy shop with slashed prices of course because these listings will make my etsy shop too full. I have been working on this all month, but with the impending new 3 month return policy coming in 3 days, I just closed them. I feel such a sense of relief to no longer have to deal with the seller abuse and pressure that has become the norm on ebay.
The slashed priced items will continue to be listed through the next few weeks along with fresh finds. There is no way to actually show you on etsy how much I marked them down from ebay prices, but most 40% to 60% off. Plus, I have a coupon code for an Etsy Fellowship Team for an additional 15% off. It is HOLIDAY2014 and is available until Dec. 15. Here are some of the items that I have greatly reduced after moving them over.
There is so very much more new to my Etsy shop with more being listed every day. I have just about 400 hand-picked fresh finds here that will be split between One Kings Lane and Etsy. I am sure that I have something that you cannot live without!

One of my favorite places to be...
Is right here! There is nothing better to me to calm my day than an hour on trail with KhalaBlu!

A Picnic at Myrtle Creek
Today, we were wanting to have lunch, but a quiet and restful sort of lunch. No loud busy joints for us! I remembered that last time I was shopping for plants at Myrtle Creek Nursery in Fallbrook, they had added an organic cafe. It's darling!!!
The fun thing is that you order from a rather limited menu, but your lunch comes in a picnic basket with a blanket and you can have a picnic lunch anywhere on the beautiful grounds. We chose here:
Next time we are going to have lunch down here:
It was a relaxing lunch. There was an acoustic guitar player that just made this beautiful place more atmospheric. We then did a little shopping.
We took a stroll over to the red barn and fed the goats too!
Came home with the night-blooming jasmine that I was looking for was well as a lovely memory of a nice lunch with Em.
