Love, love, love. Through day and night, dawn and twilight, sunrise and sunset; ups and downs, highs and lows, good times and hard times, happy times and sad times; in joy, in sorrow - through it all, we are a team. ❤️ @blindwarriorsven.bsky.social (Photo by Trommelsphoto) #Newlyweds #Love #Marriage

Shass and Sven on a beach in evening light. They are standing close together with the ocean behind them and a wide, beautiful sky above. The sun is almost set, and the sky is filled with soft shades of pink, peach, orange and a little purple.
Shass is standing on the left and Sven on the right. They are holding each other closely and kissing. Shass is wearing a long, dark bluegreen dress that flows down onto the sand. The sleeves are caught by the wind and flowing out to the left. Shassies long, dark hair is gently moving in the breeze.
Sven is wearing a dark blue shirt with a small floral pattern and dark trousers. His arms are wrapped around Shass, while she holds him close.
They are standing in the middle of the beach, with the sand beneath their feet. Behind them, the ocean stretches out towards a calm horizon. The light and the colors are beautiful, the warm orange and pink tones of the sunset glow. (Description by Trommelsphoto)

September 26th, 2026. We did it. We actually did it. @blindwarriorsven.bsky.social, we did it we did it we did it! (Picture 1 by Mr. D. Findlow, picture 2 by Ms. S. van de Wege) #Love #Newlyweds #Marriage #WeDidIt #Teamwork

Shass and Sven embracing on a sandy beach with the sea in the background.
Sven, who has light skin, short brown hair, and a trimmed beard, stands behind Shass with his arms wrapped around her waist, leaning his head gently toward her with a soft smile.
Shass, who also has light skin and long brown hair with a streak of gray, smiles with her eyes closed and her head slightly turned toward him, giving a very relaxed, content expression.
She wears a flowing teal dress with a V-shaped neckline and draped sleeves, and on her head is a delicate, decorative silver headpiece with looping wire shapes and blue bead accents, including a dark oval stone set at her forehead.
Her hands rest over his forearms, and a simple wedding band is visible on the ring finger of her left hand.
He wears a short-sleeved button-up shirt with a blue, white, and gray floral pattern and dark trousers. (Description by Be My Eyes)

Two small yellow rubber ducks are dressed like a fancy couple and are sitting side by side on a low concrete ledge outdoors.
The duck on the left is dressed in a black felt bowlar-hat and black, heart-shaped sunglasses. It has a black fabric bow tie at the front and a small gold-colored chain around its neck.
The duck on the right is dressed like a bride. It wears a silver plastic tiara with decorative details on top of its head and pink heart-shaped over its eyes. Around its body is a full, light cream-colored tulle skirt sprinkled with tiny gold dots, and around the neck is a string of little white pearls with a single larger pearl pendant hanging in front.
Behind them is dark soil with some green plants, and beneath them is rough, weathered concrete, so they look like they were posed together in a small garden area. (Description by Be My Eyes)

COVER REVEAL! Presenting Coffee & Conjuring, Book 2 in the Arcadia Falls series of small town witchy Romance! You can read all about it in the second slide. I can't wait for y'all to meet Mr. Fluff. And the hot MC, code name HORSE GUY. Preorder here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/745677...

Coffee & Conjuring is purple with a blue waterfall, a girl and a guy, a pocket watch, some horseshoes, some coffee cups, some books, and an enormous orange cat named Mr. Fluff. It also contains baby raccoons, but they didn't make the cover.

The book description reads:
In this cozy witchy rom-com from the New York Times bestselling author of Books & Bewitchment, a burnt-out young woman—with the help of her small town’s hunky local antiques dealer—works to turn an abandoned hardware store into the coffeeshop of her dreams.

Anxious and overworked, Cait Wolfe lives a high-pressure life as a graphic designer with her fluffy orange cat in Cumberville, Alabama. Things are hectic but sustainable. . . until the creep from work who simply won’t take “no” for an answer moves in down the hall and causes her to lose out on a big client.

Cait knows she needs a change. So when her sister invites her to come to Arcadia Falls, where free lodging, an inherited hardware store, and a magical legacy await her, it’s an easy “yes.”

Except . . . her new property is in dire need of a makeover, and Cait’s not sure her frazzled nerves or her stretched-thin finances can survive the renovation that will give her life the reset she so desperately desires and turn a hoarder situation into a livable apartment and a cozy coffee shop. Lucky for Cait, laid-back local picker and part-time cowboy Brendan McGillicuddy is more than happy to help her fix up the place—and to teach her how to relax while he’s at it.

Another huggable beastie has seen the light of day. Say hi to Sprinkles! What she is? Huggable is what she is! The rest is in the eye of the beholder. #LoomKnitting #Loomknittingsky #Knittsky #Yarnsky #Softie #amigurumi #amigurumisky #Yarncrafts #Hobbiibabysnuggleprint

A chonky soft toy knitted in a speckled yarn is lying on its belly on top of a warm brown couchback, facing to the left. It's very catlike, but its ears are large and slightly longer than a cat would normally have. It has big blue eyes, a red velvetty nose and a long, swishy tail. The yarn is white in the basis with speckles of colour throughout: pink, turquoise, yellow, orange. The softie is resting its head on its front paws, but the back pegs are hanging down alongside the couchback, which means we see the left one in this picture since the other is behind the couch.

In this picture, the soft toy is lying crosswise over the couchback instead, facing the camera. She looks like she just jumped up from behind the couch and belly-flopped onto the couchback. Her front legs are now dangling down the couch cushions and we can see her face more clearly. Her ears are floppy and refuse to stand straight like a cat's would.

The soft toy is now sitting on the couch, still facing the camera. Her legs are arranged neatly, with the front legs placed in front of the chest and belly, supporting her as she sits. Her speckled tail is curving along the left side of her body.

A woman with light skin and dark brown hair holds a black-and-white cat in her arms.
Her hair is tied back in a low ponytail, and her eyes are closed as she presses her face gently against the top of the cat’s head, giving the impression of a kiss or nuzzle.
She wears a light gray T-shirt with horizontal, slightly darker gray stripes across the chest and sleeves.
The cat has medium-length fur that is mostly black with a white chest, white front paws, and some white on the face and underside.
The cat has bright yellow-green eyes, a small black nose, and a gold bell on its collar at the front of its neck.
The cat is held upright against the woman’s chest with its body turned slightly to one side, appearing calm and relaxed.
In the background, part of an open interior door and doorframe are visible, along with pale walls and another closed door, suggesting an indoor home setting. (Description by Be My Eyes)

The anthology vs. the first paragraph. Why do you want to read this story? 1. It's set in Arcadia Falls, the world of Books & Bewitchment. 2. It includes a lovelorn talking donkey. What more do you need? (Big thanks to @kerrielhughes.bsky.social and Jim Butcher for including me!) Available now!

The anthology Paranormal Payback is pictured against a dress I bought online that looked great on the model and makes me look like a Victorian sofa. You can also see my readers because apparently my eyes are giving up.

The first paragraph reads:
It all began with a donkey. A stubborn, dirt-spackled, flop-eared donkey ruled by his many appetites. A donkey named Gary. A donkey who, for some unknown reason, chose to rear up on his little black hooves and attempt to make sweet, sweet donkey love to the booted foot of his beloved mistress, Keelie King, as she rode her palomino mare through the forest and contemplated revenge against the man who had hurt her sister.

A fluffy, long-haired cat lying on its side on a patterned rug. The cat has a mix of colors in its fur, including orange, black, and white. The sunlight is shining on the cat, highlighting the white fur on its chest and parts of its body, making it look soft and vibrant. The rug underneath the cat has a somewhat abstract, mottled pattern with shades of gray, brown, and beige. The cat's tail is fluffy and extends out behind it, and the cat appears relaxed and comfortable. (Description by Be My Eyes)

A narrow raised garden bed runs along a wooden fence. In the bed are two small, round, leafy green plants spaced apart near the left and center. On the right side is a small shrub with glossy green leaves and bright pink flowers; a red-and-white plant tag is attached behind it. The soil looks freshly turned and dark. A person’s forearm and hand are touching the flowering shrub on the right.

A woman with light skin and brown hair pulled back is crouching beside a raised garden bed, watering the soil with a garden hose sprayer. The sprayer is dark green and black, and a wide stream of water is aimed at the base of a small leafy plant in the bed. The bed is bordered by weathered wooden boards and filled with dark soil. A wooden fence made of vertical planks runs along the back. On the right side, a larger shrub or small tree with many green-and-yellow leaves (some leaves have brown spots) fills the foreground. A small plant tag with a red flower photo is attached near the smaller plant.

A woman with light skin and brown hair in a low ponytail is crouching by a long, narrow garden bed along a wooden fence, watering the soil with a dark green and black hose sprayer.

To the left of the cat is a beige woven scratching bag with thick rope handles and metal grommets. To the right is a tall beige cylindrical scratching post or cat tree column with horizontal texture.

The photo is taken from outside; the window glass shows reflections, and a brick building with windows and some greenery is visible in the reflection. (Description by Be My Eyes)

For millions who are blind or have low vision, healthcare barriers start long before the hospital: forms, apps, and instructions often aren’t accessible. This #WorldHealthDay, let’s make accessibility the standard, not the exception. 🌍

At least ONE egg seems to have got away safely from all the egg-hunters this year.😹 Happy spring, Easter, sweetsmunching-weekend, everyone!🍬🐣 Thanks @blindwarriorsven.bsky.social for the beautiful flowers. ❤️💛❤️😻 #Easter #HappyEaster #Spring #Flowers #Eggs #Sweets #love

A mixed bouquet of flowers in a tall, matte-black vase on a white windowsill. The bouquet includes pale yellow chrysanthemum-like blooms, a single yellow rose near the center, two large daisy-like gerbera flowers in orange-yellow with darker orange centers (one on the right side and one toward the upper middle), small white filler flowers, glossy green leaves, and a cluster of small red berry-like buds near the center-right. A small round yellow decorative element sits near the top of the arrangement; an upside-down egg or possibly the butt of a baby-chick with its feet sticking up in the air.

Behind the bouquet is a window with an outdoor view: cloudy sky, leafy trees, and a red-brown brick apartment building with white window frames.

Raise your hand if you want to read audiobooks from a company that 1) supports your indie bookstore 2) offers them DRM-free (you get the actual files) 3) is a certified b corp and employee owned 4) doesn't take away your credits (they don't expire)

Tuesday throwback: Apparently, finding tires to sit in make me happy! And right now, listening to the rain… with my cats. They like how sounds. What random things makes you happy? The world definitely needs more “ happy “. I know I do. 😁❤️
