Im late..Im late..Im late..for a very important date,
the weather is cold, its winter Im told, so layers are on the plate...
Ohh a party indeed!...
let me invite some friends xxx
thats including you too!!
BEWARE!
extreme cuteness follows! You have been warned!
We have treats made with love and filled with sugary goodness...
Sweet scented roses and fruity pink tea, from the fairies tea pot... would you like a cup quickly???...
oopps too late!!...
maybe a rainbow treat because your so sweet x
we have plenty to go around..lots of sugar to be found...
Miss Indi is pouring you and me a cup now...
chin chin my blogger friends...
enjoy your bubbling sweet tea and thankyou for stopping into our party..
Miss fairy Rosie is nibbling, some sandwiches of jam... quick you better grab one, and try it while you can!..
Ohh that doilie collection is out...its party time I hear them shout!
gobble gobble gobble, this party is going fast, the weather is setting in but Miss Mayya wants it to last
in no time at all, the weather has turned sour, the children have all run, Im left in the shower
as I make my way back home, a colourful tent I spy?? this was not here before, or I wouldnt have passed by!...
Hmmmm a closer look I need, so quietly I creep..What is in the tent??? shall we take a peep??
Peeking thru the door, I see a woman sitting there, she has some kind of animal, covering her hair...
"Come in my sweet, Ive been waiting here for you, there are messages to be told, and life lessons too"...
the room was filled with smoke, from burning plants and herbs, so much glowing glass and feathers from great birds...
by the warmth of her candles, I sat in my chair, not knowing what to say, not feeling I was there...
do I speak now??? is she waiting for me to start??? maybe just sit and watch her, with a fastly pounding heart..
I watch the smoke drift gracefully, to the roof and out the door, maybe I should run, she wont catch, I am sure??.....
thinking how I got here, what paths led me to now, this chain of events which happened, was this a dream somehow....
will she do my Tarot, I see the cards are here, Indi for indecision..P for paitence my dear....
Then she spoke...
"You brought me to your life..I go where I am needed, I heard your nightly prayers and your messages are heeded"..."now be still and try to think, lets think about your life, has it really been that bad, going thru this strife"???
"I have here some tea, its leaves will tell a tale, then you can take the action, so from now you cannot fail"...
she poured out a cup, of the strongest smelling tea, was I really going to drink it, did I trust in what I see???
sweetend up with sugar, it took a different smell, something rather earthy with a hint of rose as well..
Taking it to my lips, she watched in much delight, I shut my eyes and swallowed, it tasted sweet and light...
as she watched me finish my cup, she filtered sugar thru her fingers, a strange energy came over me, a feeling that still lingers....
Passing the cup back, she gave it a swirl, flipped it on the saucer to see what it revealed...
"Aahh I see..your life is but a mess, clear in the section of Mars of course..This tells to 'go for what you really want', this life is now all yours
"Take this heedy potion, it will reveal your hidden words, in a book upon the shelf of life, a mermaid story lurks, when you find this parchment, pour out from this vile, a river of red to paint and reveal your lifes denial"
Umm OK? whatever that means??
So I took the potion and went to go...
"Ahh but we havent discussed payment!! Im looking for jewels you see, I love all things colourful and sparkly and silvereee" "What is this you wear"??
Well it was my granmothers bracelet but I guess I can pass it on, one thing that I have learnt of late is that nothing lasts for long, so take my Nana's bracelet, if you really must, I have other things to remind me of her, all her crafty wears and stuff....
She bid me farewell and would be back if I called, I wasent sure what to say I was still so enthralled..
I retreated with my bottle, leaving the animal woman behind, when I looked back to where Id been, the tent I could not find???
much searching later for mermaid tales, I came across this book..
when turning to the fishy tale upon paper I did look...
I poared the potion carefully and smeared it round the page, the letters appeared swiftly, a discovery I had made...
It was a message to my heart to keep on looking ahead, though much time lately has been spent, curled up in my bed..now what to do with such wise words, how to end this tale, I have to look at where to go and set my boat a sail...
Thankyou to all who came here, to have a cup of tea, and thankyou to all who come her and see me regularly...
You got me thru a rough patch, and this party celebrates life, its nice to know we are here together, thru the good times and the strife.
I love you my bloggy friends, thankyou.
and thankyou to sweetest Miss Vanessa for making the whole world party.
Not too mad I know, but Ive had quite enough madness here lately!!
Party On!
