Tiny House Lover

This is my favorite tipi picture. I love the deck which I think is what makes it so special. It must feel really nice to stay in there. Beautiful scenery, the water and the feeling of being in a teepee.

Today I want to feature a Native American Indian quote that we can learn from:

You have noticed that everything as Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round… The Sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours…

Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.

- Black Elk Oglala Sioux Holy Man, 1863-1950

I wanted to also send a big thank you to Kent Griswold at the Tiny House Blog for featuring one of my posts in his newsletter. Thanks Kent and all of you who’ve visited. You made my day.

See you tomorrow!

Small Cabin with Teepee

I wanted to feature a teepee today and ran into this awesome picture in my collection. It was photographed by Amelia Painter in Arnolds Park, Iowa.

This is Abbie Gardner’s original cabin and alongside a beautiful Indian teepee. The cabin was built around 1856 and has more recently been restored to it’s original appearance.
