Friends...

This afternoon the day brings wet grey damp highlighted in warm laughter with friends. I've had hard belly laughs, small musings, wide silent grins and heart-felt closeness~all with my online friends this day in January 2009. One of them, Jean is a wonderful talent whose generous spirit has inspired me to create the best paper artdoll that I am capable of in any given project that I am working on. I wanted you to have a chance to meet her this rainy day in Vancouver in my neck of the woods. Talk to you all soon. I'm making valentine dollies!

Life unfolds slowly...

The chai vendor now has a skirt. See it propped up in front of the pigeon? Today I am drawing feet and toes. So his life is unfolding slowly as it should. I have just started painting teacups. Oh joy! He will be holding one in his hand as he is on his veranda (it's his day off and that is why he is barefoot) trying to decide which tea set to serve to Lottie when she arrives for tea today at 3 p.m. He's chosen the cloth (white linen) and they will have cakes out on the veranda where there is a cool breeze and the scent of cinnamon wafts.

Developement in the Chai Vendor's Life...

27-year-old Lottie had gone to the Orient as a respite. There she met the chai vendor who has asked her to marry him. In the pocket of her dress she carries a letter which reads: "Dear Lottie, Don't you ever leave me. Yours truly, Timothy Shawn." What do you think will be her answer?
