waiting patiently...

when i had the good fortune 

to meet this little forsaken soul

i noted 

he looked a little sad

and somewhat bewildered

i said 

"little forsaken soul, 

do not be sad,

nor bewildered, 

tell me your woes, 

for a woe shared 

is a woe halved"

after which 

we had a cup of tea.

me, fruity herbal,

him, earl gray 

(with a dash of something stronger)

then we spent a 

happy half hour

in my studio,

rustling and bustling around

until we found just the thing

i noted

upon admiring his 

new natty little outfit.

"surely no bear

out there,

could possible resist

a handsome fellow

such as yourself

in a doily string vest

and paper corsage"

to which

my fine fellow of a forsaken soul,

smiled

feeling quietly confident

his 'forever and a day' love

will be found

some day soon.

and bewilderment
and sadness

will be a thing of the past...

till then,

he will patiently wait

in his string vest,

for true love

to come a calling

social media

I'm updating the social media buttons in my sidebar today, if anyone is interested in following along.



This includes registering It's Always Something on Bloglovin. Although I must say, I have been using (and prefer) Feedly for keeping up with everyone.



I've also added a link love area on my sidebar with the blogs I read. Many of you shared your blogs with me through the survey I did earlier this year. I have tried to come by and visit as many of you as I can. If you'd like to be added to my links loved, please let me know. I know several readers said that their blogs were private and they would not want it shared, so I want to be cautious about privacy.



Lastly, I got rid of the resale blog because it was just one other thing for me to keep up with right now. I have a facebook profile that I use to sell the kids' stuff locally and I am going to link that here, if anyone is interested. I have a ton of girls Tea Collection for the fall if anyone is interested. I should have it up on my facebook page by Friday. Just friend request me and you'll be able to comment on the images.



Happy Hump Day!
