Voodoo and Chickens

Look what the postman brought. I ordered a mexican voodoo pendant from Lucinda of Belvedere Beads. And she added a couple of gorgeous beads to the package ! If you've never stopped by her blog, please do...
Now I own 3 mexican voodoo pendants. Lucinda makes them with orphan beads. Aren't they cool?

And now some updates about Cocotte ( my way of saying thank you to you, Lucinda! )

A few years ago I had to save Cocotte from the other chickens. I don't know what she did or said but the others were after her. And when I say after her, I mean they would have killed her.

So Cocotte lived the life of a spoiled chicken. She had her own house ( I built it myself), she was free to wander around. I gave her cat bits as treats... When I was calling her name she was running to me! Sometimes I would forget to lock her up but she didn't mind.

But about 3 weeks ago, I did not forget to lock her up and she has been one lucky chicken.

Because Mr ( or is it Mrs ?) Fox paid a visit. Unfortunatly, the other chickens weren't locked (don't blame me, I am not the one in charge regarding those...). So I guess for the Fox it was like winning the lottery.. He killed 5 chickens, took two away... Of the 3 dead ones it left , I kept the legs ( yes, I know I'm weird), they're drying in the attic!

This said, we decided to see if Cocotte would like the join the rest of the chickens and she did ( before the visit of the fox, she was wandering a lot near the others, it was like if she wanted to be with them).

So now Cocotte lives with her sisters ( I guess the ones who wanted to frame her were among the unlucky ones... ). She still knows her name but she's not that bothered ... But I'm sure she's happy ( as long as she's safe at night !).

Stay tuned, soon some new jewelry and an unexpected four legged guest!
