WOYWW #137: Rock on!

I'm joining in tonight because I don't want to miss WOYWW, hosted by our loveable and ever so thoughtful Julia at Stamping Ground. Show her the love, because she can use it!

However, if you were here earlier today, you learned that I no longer can access any of my computer drives, except the OS (operating system also known as C drive). That means I can't transfer photos from my camera to my photo editing program.

Since I can't show my desk this week, and since some of you are new (or newer) to WOYWW and have asked about my rocking horses, I thought I would show a few photos of some of the ones I've featured in the past. Forgive me if you have already seen these. At last count, I had slightly over 450.


Let's start in my craft room, where these candles normally live on the window sill.


Here are some I have received from WOYWWers (JozArt and Cath in Cyprus) and


one from our fearless leader, Julia.


WOW! This reindeer copied BIG!


And here is one that rolls, but doesn't rock. WOYWWendy is looking on.


Here she gives her approval. Yes, the bangs that come down below her eyes are just like I wear mine.


Let's move on to my guest bedroom, where you will find a lot of rocking horses, including several that live on pillows.


Of course, one of my favorite horses lives here, too.

This might be a better view of the horse that is nearly as tall as my guest bed foot board.


We must stop in the loo to see this one that children can ride.


Moving on to the living room, here are two in this vignette, one of which I painted and placed in an oval hoop frame.


Can you see the rocking horse outside my window? If not, it's easy to see a couple of my favorites live on my Grandmother's treadle sewing machine,


while this pull along horse lives below the machine.


There are lots of rocking horses in this photo. Some on the wall, some on the top of the kitchen (sometimes called Hoosier, although that was a brand name) cabinet, and some


on the metal shelf, all love to play together, especially when no one is looking.


Keys stay in place on my rocking horse key holder in my kitchen.


Head to my office, and you will see lots of shelves. This one sits over my computer between two book cases. I see three rocking horses in this photo and I know there are more. I like keeping them together, especially since they love to play together.


Also in my office, I have two shelves with horses on them. Sadly, only one is shown here, along with one of my hoops from the 80s.


A detail of the shelf shows a bowl of paper clips decorated with a single rocking horse earring I found at a garage sale.


Three more rocking horses are on this bookcase in my bedroom. Although this is my only bedroom shot, there are many more in the room. I can't get away from my "friends" (not that I would want to) because they are everywhere!


Heading to the basement, upon entry, you are greeted with a rocking horse painting in a frame. I think that's probably the end of a tour, which means that's as many previously shown rocking horse photos as I want to pull off my blog.



However, here are a few of my approximately 450 that I assembled awhile back for a rocking horse reunion. Hope you have enjoyed the tour and can appreciate my love of rocking horses, even though I had no desk to show today.

So, rock on this WOYWW, or until I can figure out how to get my other computer drives back.
