Yard(stick) Sale

My dear Sir has been "off the grid" for the last week and I'm eagerly waiting his return. I've been sending him daily pictures so that he'll have a fragrant "Welcome Home" bouquet of emails waiting for him. It is the beginning of a very busy summer and our regular weekly rendezvous will have to become more malleable, allowing us to exercise our creativity as last minute meetings will provide their own set of challenges.

So what does a spanko do when she has no hand to spank her? Go shopping.

Retail therapy has always been an effective outlet for me. Luckily for me my friendly neighborhood bondage store was having a rummage sale this weekend. I arrived early on the second day of the sale, and unfortunately it seems as though the sale had been pretty well picked through. None of the canes, whips or paddles were left, though there seemed to be plenty of strap ons and other things a newbie like me could not possibly recognize. I was hoping to get my hands on a corset as I've often fondled the leather they house at their regular retail location. Unfortunately the only one in my size had missing parts, but was marked down to $95 from an outstanding $650. Yikes! It was beautifully constructed, but perhaps it was the last one standing for a reason.





There was nothing in the rummage sale for me, so I walked next door to their retail store just to see what they had. It seemed like their cane selection was smaller, but there were plenty of lovely things to look at. This wall of floggers and whips, for example... I was tempted to ask for a demonstration, but I'm pretty sure the Englishman would frown upon that.


I couldn't walk out empty handed, so I picked up some bondage tape. It was mentioned in the blowie workshop and seemed pretty neat. It's tape that only sticks to itself, making it an easy and effective way to get wrapped up. My passionate hands have been able to wriggle out of the silk ties I've been restrained by, with the incentive of running my fingers through his lovely hair as I straddle the very lap I should be laying across. Sigh... soon.


Thank you to Bratty Adaline for nominating my blog for the "one lovely blog" award! I will return to the challenge in another post, another time. I've been enjoying the breadcrumbs left by others having to mention other blogs, sucking me even further into the depths of the spanking blogosphere. So thank you again!

Inspired by the unattainable corsets... this one isn't leather, but almost as lovely. My bottom looks particularly pale here... I think a red, English handprint would improve the picture greatly.

  1. I'm not a newbie and some of that stuff still looks scary/unidentifiable to me. :)

    1. Conina,

      If you blow up that third picture down, the sign on the box reads, "Horse Speculum $40-".

    2. And it's the butt that makes the corset sexy not the other way around. Glad you have taken on the challenge.

    3. Mmm... but corsets are inherently sexy on their own! But thank you... I'm glad you would agree that my bottom compliments them nicely!

  3. Oh I LOVE the corset! You look fabulous. I think I need one of those. Oh yeah, I have some, they just haven't seen the light of day (or night) for years. I think it's time to pull them out!

    1. Renee,

      Welcome to my little blog! You should definitely dust off those corsets... they're screaming to be worn!

      Welcome to the blog! I'm glad you're enjoying the posts! Hailing from the UK, are you a fan of the cane as well as the corest? Always doing my research, of course...

  5. I know what you have rather been doing but thanks so much for taking me shopping. I don't have anything like that store near me. I had some wide eyes looking at some of that stuff but the rest was recognizable and very beautiful. What a peaceful place that looks. Strange to say when everything in there is meant to cause mayhem but it's peaceful and comforting.

    I love the corset. Awaiting a follow up picture with handprint. :)

    1. Sometime this week, Emen... and it couldn't get here soon enough!

      If you're ever in CA, we'll have to make a field trip. The cashier also told me of a similar store only half a mile down the street! I have yet to visit, but I'm sure there will be a blog post in it when I do.

      I love that you find peace in the chaos... though the store itself is very peaceful- clean, inviting and friendly.
