This is the label my lovely friends Kaz & Az are going to put on their wine this year - they normally sell all their grapes to these people, and have a few bottles kept aside for themselves prior to it being blended in with other quality grapes - and they've had a label in the past, but nothing as spectacular as this:
How could anybody resist? And it has two of my four favourite dogs in the whole wide world on it - just beautiful. It is slight, ever so slightly not quite but nearly geographically correct, but who's going to quibble? Everybody will be so taken by the gorgeous doggies that they won't even twig that the water is not really there... and who cares?
And, do I hear you say, what about the other two favourite dogs in the whole wide world? Well, seeing as I haven't done any sewing since Sunday (shame on me), and no material arrived in the mail (and what's that about?), it's down to the dogs - or is that "we've gone to the dogs"? Sorry. Couldn't help it, you know how I love a good pun...
And this is Jarrah:
She has the sweetest nature, and puts up with all sorts of crap from Gus, who constantly teases her, chews her legs, flicks her ears, worries her tail... and she just happily sits there, until Gus goes just that little bit too far. Then she growls at him, he runs away and peace is restored. For about 10 minutes.
Love it. Love those dogs.
DEAREST ISABELLA...THE WATER IS THERE...NEXT TIME YOU COME I'LL SHOW FROM WHERE THE VIEW ORIGINATED...PERHAPS SOME POETIC LICENCE BUT NOT MUCH REALLY...& YES, GUSSY & JARRAH, I'D BE HAPPY TO DOG SIT THEM ANYTIME...LICK, LICK XX
ReplyDeleteAwww. Your posts always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the beautiful wine label--very fetching and indeed eye-catching. It would certainly garner MY attention over the pretentious ones with no personality that typically accompany wine bottles.
And your dogs. I LOVE that Gus is a rescue puppy--as someone who cares about animal welfare, that simply does my heart good.
Bless Jarrah's sweet and patient temperament! I can almost see it, as if one could narrate the conversation between the two dogs:
Jarrah: "Kindly leave me alone, would ya? Scram."
Gus: "No. I don't think I will."
Jarrah: "Go annoy someone else for a while and give my tail a rest. In other words, beat it. It's time for my tea."
Gus: "I'm not touching you"
Jarrah: "Um, actually you are. Would you mind terribly removing your jowls from my hind quarters? Appreciate it so much."
Gus: "Make me."
Jarrah: "If I have to get up and go back there so help me...."
;)
Love,
