This morning we’re going to mix it up a bit here at the DC headquarters. Why? Because 31 years ago today, my mama did what Erin is about to do and popped out a karly-shaped ball of awesomeness. (Quick show of hands: was that last sentence totally gross?) Moving on. Today, YOU homies are going to write the post. How? By way of sending me birthday gifts. Duh.
As you all know and can probably say backwards in your sleep: K-dawg loves the horses. Any and all horse-art, horse-furniture, or horse-dish was created just for me. I cruise most of your blogs (sorry, I’m a bad commenter) and have seen precious horse works featured all around this world wide web. YOU leave me a comment with a link to the horsey(s) of my dreams, I’ll put them all together and publish the proper post next Tuesday. You will of course get lots of love and credit for your find.
I’ll start with a preview of a few good horses that my blogging BFFs have sent me over the last few months:
Oy! Jamaican me crazy, horsey! Both Andrea and Raina proved their undying love when they sent me a link to this beauty by artist Julian Wolkenstein. I have since – and I’m not kidding – stalked her by email to purchase a print large enough to hang over my fireplace. She has small ones for sale at surprisingly reasonable prices, I’m still waiting on a quote for my gigantor version.
The Brew Mistress herself could easily double as my personal horse shopper, as she has gone above and beyond in the horse-link sending. Her eye for horsies and love for Michael Phelps prove that she’s the coolest girl on all of Manhattan Island. The Mistress also found these gems:
AND!!!!!
So, what good ponies have you seen lately?

So I am off the hook since I’ve already sent you a link? I didn’t think so.
Well, there was a certain horse screen at Head Over Heels, NKP’s blog:

Just now, I Googled “horse lamp” and besides 3 trillion pictures of that Moooi lamp, there was this one which is from Texan Inc. Lamps and (supposedly) highly collectible:

Happy Birthday, Karlypants! And many mooooore…..
Happy, Happy Birthday Karly!!! So, truth is, I can no longer look at an image of a horse without thinking of you. In fact, this very morning as I was composing my most recent post I can across a lovely little vignette, horse photo and all, and who popped into my noggin- the one and only, Karly. It must be some cosmic connection, ’cause I come over here and lo and behold, it’s horsey time. I’m wishing you equine dreams on this oh so special day.
All the best-NKP

Wow, you guys are above and beyond awesome! Not only are all these horsies so amazing, I’m just so flattered that you all went out and found them for me. Design Crisis readers are the beez kneez! I’ll pull together this post for Tuesday, until then I’ll just droll over all my new horsey pix!
Oh dear, the only great horse design I can think of is Florence Broadhurst’s Horses Stampede pattern. Pretty well known, but I still love it.
But here’s another stampede I saw recently:

yet more horse trinkets – unless it is this photograph…

Horse lamp on awsnips.blogspot.com!
Didn’t have the camera handy, but I accidentally spooked an arabian horse near where I was working a couple of days ago. No gentle retirees these. Made the ground suddenly shake. Can’t convey that here.
Hope your kitchen is progressing and happened to notice blue tape and plastic at the ceiling. I now use Zip-walls. And I know that sounds like an advertisement. My father made some homemade ones until I bought a set, and now borrows them all the time.
I’ll try and remember the Kodak this week. No promises. That black horse is ornery and fidgetsome.
happy, happy belated bday. here are your horsies…

I am late to the party. Happy birthday! I don’t know if I’ve ever posted to the comments here, but I read your blog regularly. It’s one of my favorties!
Here’s a sad photo of my ’50s horse chair.

I have the same affinity for horses. I collected horse themed things in the ’70s when I was a youngster. During my ’30s, I started a collection of horse themed paint-by-numbers which have been an integral of most of the tiny apartments I’ve had in during the last decade or so…
Oh, and LOVE the Rick James Superfreak horse photo.
i know i’m late but i found these for you. i went the easy route, i know.
horse butts in the sand! http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackmoth/2759755267/
