A baby goat does not need a reason to kick out its back feet. Joy is reason enough.
The Happiest Creatures on Four Legs
There is something about a baby goat that is just completely, unreasonably good for the soul. They arrive in the world already determined to run and play before their legs have even figured out how to cooperate. In those first wobbly days of life a baby goat will trot across a field, suddenly kick out its back feet for absolutely no reason, and carry on as if that was always the plan. Pure uncontainable happiness expressed through the only language a baby goat knows.
Scientists have discovered that goats are far more emotionally complex than most people give them credit for. Research shows that goats can actually read human facial expressions, preferring to approach happy faces over unhappy ones. They form deep bonds with their herd and with the humans who care for them. They remember. They feel. And they express joy in the most wonderfully uninhibited way of almost any creature on earth.
These earrings are for everyone who has ever watched a baby goat kick out its back feet and felt their whole day get better.
The Earrings
Each tiny goat is caught mid kick, all four feet on the ground but those back legs shooting out sideways in a spontaneous little shimmy of happiness. Every single one is cut out entirely by hand from sterling silver which means each goat is a tiny bit different from the next, just like real baby goats. They are given texture and dark spots to suggest their fluffy patchy coats and are about half an inch tall, lightweight enough to wear every single day.
You can choose to wear your goats as classic post earrings or as dangling earrings with sterling silver ear hooks. Just select your preferred style from the drop down menu.
- Style options: Post earrings or French wire dangle earrings
- Size: About half an inch tall
- Material: Sterling silver throughout
- Price: $90 for either style
A Note from Tamara
I made these earrings because baby goats kicking out their back feet in happiness is one of the purest things I have ever seen. There is no self consciousness in it, no hesitation, just complete and total joy expressed in the most physical way possible. I think we could all learn something from that. I hope these little goats remind you to kick out your own back feet whenever the mood strikes, metaphorically speaking of course.
