Dreams and Fairy tales...

I posted on fb, the other day, about having an Old... old...

Lap Robe, stolen, from our booth, at Junk Jubilee Jingles, last Saturday.

I didn't discover it missing...until Sunday morning, when a fellow Vendor...stopped by, to purchase it, just before the show opened.

I'd thrown it on the load, at the last minute...before we left home.

I remember, holding it...in my arms, and...thinking....how Many Christmas's we'd shared, down the rabbit hole.

: )

It was black, green and white....with Beautiful... Poinsettias, all over it.

: )

I'd used it for display.

I thought, it would be Perfect....next to the Full sized Sleigh, we had in our booth.

That's what it was meant for. : )

It was very Heavy, the size...of a quilt, and would keep Folks warm...while riding in a Buggy, or Sleigh...in the Winter. 

Below, is a picture of it....resting on the gold, Victorian Chair, next to the Sleigh, in our booth.

I, rarely...have theft, of any kind.

It seems, when I do... somehow...it always works out....'right'.

These old....'Soulful' things, have a way... of making things...

'right'.

I wrote, that I'd sure like to find out, who took it.

I wouldn't ask them to pay for it.

I'd make 'em help set the Booth, at Junk Jubilee, next Spring.

: )

They'd Never....take Anything....from 'The Simply Iowa' Booth...

Again!!!

Hahahahahaha!

I had to check on some things...yesterday morning, down the rabbit hole.

As I was flyin' through the back area....outside, I saw something...that wasn't like I'd left it.

{Somehow, with All of The Treasures, in...and around, the rabbit hole....

If 'Something' is out of place... I can pick it out...in the Blink of an Eye. }

There, sitting on an Old Cupboard's shelves....

were Two...Beautiful... Ironstone Serving Pieces.

They weren't there...the last time I'd walked through. 

{a week ago. }

The Ironstone Fairy... must have left them.

: )

I don't know who...brought them, I'd be Thrilled to pay for them....

Just, bringing them...to me... to purchase....is a Gift. 

: )

Love Old Ironstone!!!

See...

Some Folks...are Takers.

Some Folks... are Givers.

<3 

I'm so very Blessed to Know....far more 'Givers'. <3 <3 <3 

I brought them inside the House....where they will stay, and, I'll use them...

until I find out who brought them. 

<3 <3 <3 

I've been a Slug, all week. Haven't gotten anything done....around the House.

Heading to Little Justin's Birthday Party, today... 

Then, I want to go visit Andrea...John's oldest Daughter.

She and Jeff...have a Brand New Baby, Kyler....that shares Little Justin's Birthday!!!

November 13th!

That makes Three Boys, for them...6 years old, and younger!

WOW!!!

<3

6, 2...and a Newborn!!!

WOW!!!

and...I think I'm tired!!!

WOW!!!

When I woke up...this morning, I...hated to open my eyes.

I'd had a Dream...about John.

: )

When I Dream about John...the Dreams seem so Real.

: )

It's like...he's right here. His voice...is such a Gift, to hear. <3 

I dreamt....that we were sitting together....visiting, like...he'd never left.

I, was telling him about a spider bite, that was bothering me.

I showed him, where it was...on the calf of my leg.

It was huge. It looked like a massive welt, 

the size of the palm of my hand.... with a tiny red spot...in the center.

He said... that he couldn't see it.

I placed my leg, across his lap...and asked him to feel, for the welt.

He did, and when he got to the welt, he looked at me... with such...

Shock...and...Sympathy. 

: ( : ( : ( 

He asked me, if it was painful.... : (

I, smiled....and said "No. : ) "

I said... "I, know I've been poisoned, but... it doesn't hurt."

: ) 

We just sat there, together... for the longest time. : )

It was Grand. : )

<3 <3 <3 

Peg, 

'The Mad March Hare' 

used to Laugh...when I shared my Dreams...with her.

: ) : ) : )

She, even created a Beautiful Gourd, for me, around a Dream, I'd shared with her... one time. 

<3 <3 <3 

"The Mad Hatter"

'And In Our 'Dreams'

Oh, What We See!'

Indeed.

Love, to ya...
