“Tattoos established visible links between the spiritual and the natural domains by tapping into them, allowing the body to escape into a world where there was nothing but the magical essence of things, sublimely detached from the here and now.” from The art of magical tattoos (via Jo)

Have you joined Vine yet? It’s a new iPhone app that let’s you record and share 6-second video clips. They launched this week so there are plenty of kinks they need to work out, but it has so much potential! I’m ‘Susannah Conway’ on Vine — my first clips are here and here (check out actor Adam Goldberg’s feed — he’s really running with it!)
Magic carpet yoga mats

The two links to the journals didn’t work – said nothing found. Hoping you can fix it soon, I’m interesting in reading about it.
Fixed — thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for sharing the link to Erica’s gift – it made me cry too :-) xx
My colour personality was uncannily accurate too!

Wow! What a great post for a long cold winter week-end. Susannah you have brought me warmth and light while I am struggling with some difficult times [other than the cold and dark]. You probably may not realize how many people you affect in such a wonderful way. To you i say thank you and to the powers that be i am so grateful! Love, Paula xox
Ahh so many great things in this post! I love the magic carpet yoga mats and Erica’s gift.
I’ve marked a date on my calendar to attempt making that apple rosemary skillet cake and I had a good laugh about my colour personality! Have you tried the ‘what your favourite ice cream flavour says about you’ one yet?
