I couldn’t be happier with how this came out!
I got it done at Lilith Tattoo in Seattle www.instagram.com/lilithtattoo... by Poni Colina www.instagram.com/poni.tattoo?... and had an amazing experience. I am a repeat customer and will be again✨I’m so pleased with this artwork for my favorite author!

Valancy is a rise because she has a bush that when she is stifled never grows, and when she rebels she trims it all the way down. When she returns, she finds it in full bloom.
Jane is a poppy because when she is back in Toronto, she brazenly wears a poppy on Nov11 for her dad.

The Story Girl is canterbury bells because she made a wreath “and looked like the incarnation of rhyme and story and dream.”
Kilmeny is lilac because the bench where Kilmeny and Eric fall in love is surrounded by lilac.
Marigold is well ,,okay this one was a bit obvious. But I couldn’t Not do it!

Anne is cherry blossom because she had decided to sleep in the tree, all silvery in the moonlight.
Emily is the hop vines because New Moon house is covered, at least partially, in hop vines.
Pat is geraniums because in Judy’s window in her room she has them.

I chose a flower that represented each heroine— and of course, I couldn’t resist for this bouquet to be in the all-important jug at the center of “A Tangled Web”. And I have an amazing artist who is skilled in botanicals and made sure the flowers are identifiable even in b&w.

I finally got the tattoo of my dreams for my favorite author <3 I have been thinking this up for a long time. I truly love all 20 of Montgomery’s novels in their own way. Of course “Anne of Green Gables” is most well known; my personal favorite is “The Blue Castle” #lmmontgomery #tattoo #newtattoo

Any social service going private would be bad— just a reminder the Republicans have had their eye on the USPS for a long while now #usps #lilrant

On what would be my mother’s 60th birthday were she alive I am watching old tapes I haven’t touched in 10+ years so I can hear her voice. I’ve been rewarded with such gems as “I believe you have to ~experience~ Yosemite” and “Thats a pretty bitchin sight right there!”—I love her so much

At joann today a woman asks when The Big Sale™️ is coming. Employee says they dont know bc a buyer could save the stores. The woman says “ah well, fingers crossed for The Big Sale™️ right? I wanna go crazy”
Ma’am I fear you Are crazy? That’s someone’s job you’re praying to end, right in front of them!

These are genuine jobs that have been suggested to me at disability hearings despite the compiled medical evidence detailing how I can’t work. these are such punishing jobs!!!!! 🙃 and that’s why we’re in appeals babey! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I go through very long podcast listening periods and then very long audiobook listening periods, then back and forth. but now a funny thing has happened where I’m only 2 1/2 audiobooks in and I’m hearing the siren song of podcasts again—is this the shrinking attention span I’m hearing so much about?

Whoopsie!🫥 my bad typo— good catch, thank you
