I don't know when it began but somewhere along the line I told myself that spotting a deer was good luck. Well, as fate would have it, one of Santa's little helpers was in my front yard the other day just starting at me through the glass storm door. We locked eyes for a minute and I reasoned with myself that spotting him is a sign... 2012 is going to be my year. I think I may have to treat myself to a Kate Spade Idiom Bangle as a reminder. It's engraved with cute little messages such as, "This is the year to... make sparks fly." Love that!
Being the geek that I am I researched the symbolism behind a deer. This is what I found, "Deer teaches gentleness and quietude. She also brings peaceful resolution."
If good luck isn't your thing these days then there is always chocolate mousse for a pick me up! What is it about adorable little serving pieces that just makes desserts look so much more delectable?
Do you have any little quirky things that you take as signs or good luck?

ReplyDeleteThe bane of the internet is constant reposting, so people forget or never know the source. I just spent the last 2 hours looking for this coat

here it is
Deer love to roam in our neighborhood, usually in groups of 2 or more. I will see if I can't lock eyes with one soon.....I welcome all signs of good luck!
ReplyDeleteI agree...2012 will be your year! I look forward to all the lovely experiences and joys it will bring for you.
Merry merry, Debby!

Love the image of the deer it looks like home to me. We have six deer that literally never leave our property so we feed them. Even when we walk Dylan dog at night they don't run, I'll have to get some pictures during the day they're fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute deer! I saw 2 the other day on our drive home - so maybe that will bring me luck in 2012 as well! I always think finding a coin head up is lucky too. :)
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH that little fawn was too precious!!! YES! I believe in signs of kinds,- Angels send them all time , we just need to be aware,and listen.. with ears and eyes. I know it's going to be a FABULOUS year for you, 2012! You are going to create yourself and new life ... beyond even your own expectations!!
ReplyDeleteMuch happiness and love, xo HHL
Gorgeous coat! Yes, I see foxes a lot and I always think of them as good luck :)
ReplyDeleteGoing out the front door to stare down some deer for luck - there's a regular gang of 6 or 7 out there most days!
ReplyDeleteMerry! Merry!

It's a sign, Debby. You are going to have a great 2012! I think you need to treat yourself to that bangle! xo
ReplyDeleteCheers to Christmas and to 2012!
ReplyDeleteYou always post things that go straight to my heart. This post really stirs up the part of Christmas I love so much- the hope that comes with the spirit of the season.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a sign for you Debby. Here's to a great 2012 for us all xoxo

Ah I loved this post and so agree about the deer- their quiet gaze always feels like magic. I'm a sucker for 11:11- never miss it:)
ReplyDeleteI love that the deer means something special to YOU!! I think you are going to have an amazing year, because you will make it that way!! You have a heart of gold and a sweet spirit, you are bound to be blessed. God bless you sweet Debby, xo Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI like quietude...just the name. Such a pretty post.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
excuse me while i wipe the drool off my face from looking at that coat~
ReplyDeletebrett
that coat - breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteLol I love this! I posted a picture of the Macy's storefront today, too! But mine was taken in SF :)
ReplyDeleteI love self-made good luck charms, and a deer is such a good one! How can those dark dreamy eyes be bested? I like reading fortune cookies fortunes for good luck. I deem the good fortunes meant for me, and the not-so-good ones are thrown in the trash with my take-out container and forgotten.
ReplyDeleteThat chocolate mousse recipe looks delicious! I think I'll try it.
Merry Merry,
Keri
A deer in the garden at Christmas time.. that is beyond good luck, that is like a dream! Fabulous! I love the coat in the first pic, I'd love one in black, stunning. Have a fabulous Christmas, I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true! :) Hazel
ReplyDeleteLove your story, Debby! And I adore the coat in that first photo! xo
ReplyDeleteOh it's most definitely a sign, Debby! I just love this and love the symbolism about deer.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great week! xoxo
Debby,
ReplyDeleteYou have the wonderful ability to make me pause in my busy life and take stock in what matters. I love this post. Here's to a wonderful 2012!
xx
Hm...maybe I'll carry on this "good luck" idea too! :-)
ReplyDeletep.s. I few weeks ago I did a Kate Spade bangle giveaway! I simply love kate spade...especially the new holiday line...you've got great taste girlfriend!

That deer was definitely delivering a message... everything will be fine and all things work out exactly as they should :-) xo
ReplyDeleteI often refer to Animal Medicine Cards (based on Native American teachings), to understand an animals message. They say, "Deer teaches us to use the power of gentleness to touch the hearts and minds of wounded beings who are trying to keep us from Sacred Mountain" and "If a Deer had nudged its way to you, you are being asked to find the gentleness of spirit that heals all wounds. Stop pushing so hard to get others to change, and love them as they are. Apply gentleness to your present situation and become like the summer breeze: warm and caring. This is your tool for solving the present dilemma you are facing."
ReplyDeleteI wish you gentle power in the New Year!
I hope 2012 will be your year! Now, I must absolutely own that red coat!!! I will write it down on my Christmas wish list :) Hopefully Santa will visit your blog! Wishing you a very wonderful holiday season!

I BELIEVE! And that coat is making me WANT SNOW!!!!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I love that reindeer - so cute!

What pretty images! I wholly believe in lucky signs and mine is spotting a penny on the ground. I end up collecting them and keeping them in my pocket until I jingle. I always have at least one and if I don't have a pocket, it goes in my bra (shhh... don't tell anyone!). May your 2012 be filled with luck! Cynthia
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I truly hope this is a sign & 2012 is your year, Debby.
ReplyDelete~ Clare x
PS: I reeeally want that red bow coat in the first pic! Wow!
I hope that 2012 is your year :)
