Have I Been "Body Snatched?"

1/22/2015

Monogrammed stuff, bling on my helmet, a halter name plate ... what has happened to the conservative me, the one who likes black and quiet and unobtrusive? Over Christmas break I watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers ... creepiest movie ever, and wondered, could that be it? Fortunately, there don't seem to be any weird pods stuffed in my closets, so I think I am okay.

Scariest scene in any movie I've ever watched.

While it's been a bit of a slow process, I think that Amanda, from over at Bel Joeor, has managed to set free my inner bling lover. When she bought Izzy a halter name plate for Christmas, I was so delighted with the gift that I bought one for Speedy too.

How can such a little thing bring so much happiness?

I can't quit looking at it ... it's absolutely fantastic. Please tell me what else I can bling, monogram, or label. I am totally hooked!

Lol! You can name plate you saddle and bridle, have you seen those going stirrup irons? Or how about the tooled dressage saddles? IRS a slippery slope but there are several things I'd love if I had the money!

I love it - I think halters with nameplates are super classy!
