Day 6: F is for Fierce

Today’s post (continuing the series, More to Love: A to Z, 26 Days of Alphabetic Inspiration) is brought to you by the letter F.

It’s Feast or Famine around here sometimes.  There are lots of great F’s to be inspired by: faith, fervor, fierceness, flames, Fall, freedom, French…  Not to mention felt and fairies.

In the end, I had to choose just three F’s:

F is for Fabric

You saw this one coming, right?  The tall gray wardrobe stuffed with stacks of fabric was a sign, no?

F is for Feathers

I always like to have a few feathers around to study.  They are so soft and simple, yet somehow – not.

F is for Fox Hunt

Did I lose you on this one?

I have no desire to actually hunt anything and certainly not a cute little fox, but I love the idea of getting dressed up in a red coat and riding through the forest with a pack of dogs.  Better yet if we are going to stop for a tweedy picnic in the forest.

One day, I would love to throw a party with a British hunting theme.  There would be lots of forest green and dark browns and pheasant feathers and brass horns and tweed and nice boots.  The people I tell this to in real life do not understand.  I will probably have to invite these people instead.

Of course, it would be even more fantastic if we were having  a hunting party à la Marie Antoinette:

(sigh…)

Well, thanks for stopping by this week.  We have G, H, I, J, and K to look forward to starting on Monday.  I know these posts feel a bit disjointed (talking about bento boxes and fox hunting in the same week does seem to be a bit… unusual).  However, it’s nice paying homage to what inspires us.  I have a feeling I’ll be looking back at these posts often.
