Thank You


for this 

~gentle swan Christmas ornament~

when I see it

I am reminded of your elegant style

and perseverance through 

the challenging currents of life.



A neighbor and good friend from Instagram

just got back from Paris

and 

gifted me this enchanting 

~Cinderella carriage ornament~

as I admire it sparkling in my studio

I am reminded 

of 

his playful nature

and all the fun summers we've spent 

gardening and beautifying our street.



Merci 

mille fois Vicki Archer

for this token of friendship

~all the way across the Atlantic~



when I hold this little child 

in

the palm of my hand

I am reminded of the journey

we've shared 

as 

maturing women

who remember the child

who

once held us and who we are now

so we can

become the fullness of our destiny.

Merry Christmas to all

and

a healthy, joyous 2020.

this blog was created


out of my fascination with

castles

crowns

and cottages.

As the years unspooled

my writing style developed

into a desire to

write poetry

which led to private endeavors to experiment

away from this blog

and share face to face with local poets

in the community where I live.

Along the way

I also had an Etsy shoppe

where I specialized in paper mâché art

which again led me down 

another path

until I found what was feasible

for me to continue my artistry 

as a 

full-time French teacher.

Our

ONCE UPON A TIMES

are 

road maps engraved on our destinies

to be read again and again

until

the next chapter is written

and we find each other

at a new climax.

where only the horizon

knows 

what will happen next.
