Back In The Studio

When the volcano candle from Anthro gets lit,

and my fingers start to sift through 

the stacks of linen and 

burlap and wool, well there must be 

something new created. 

I have purged most of my "store bought" decorations,

so this year, in my goal for a handmade

holiday... out came 12 days of Christmas 

stockings for the upper railing.

Vintage MOP buckles, just enough in one jar,

and some luscious pearlized organza, some linen...

Some small grunge tags, 

covered with a book page, 

then stamped 1-12

Behind the railing, my memory wall,

mementos from friends, bloggie and life long.

A wee cone in  my Mom's tin,

and

a precious memory

typed some 40 years ago,

always, always Macky.
