Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,Speaking of madness, the heart is made from vintage earrings, which I must confess to have an obsession for. I must have over 100 pairs, and only two ears, this must be a madness most divine!

This is Lizbeth’s dress for Dress Up February over at Alice and Camilla.
Lizbeth had longed to wear the pink chiffon and red taffeta dress that her mother had worn when she was young. Her mother talked about the elegant balls that she attended with many handsome admirers waiting to take her for a spin on the dance floor. She promised Lizabeth that this too would happen to her someday.
But alas dating and men are quite different today than they were when her mother was young, Still Lizabeth was a dreamer, and hoped that her dream boat or at least a man who liked to dance would come her way. Lizbeth had been pleasantly surprised when Roger, the man she met on-line asked her out to the annual Sweethearts Dance. Yeah she was going to get to wear her mother’s dress!
When Roger arrived to take her to the dance, three things were quite clear: the first thing was that he wasn’t altogether truthful about his height; two he had clearly used the photo of someone else (she didn’t remember all of those stripes); and thirdly she was never going to fit on the bicycle that he had ridden over on!
Being a quick thinker and a modern gal, she hailed a cab, asked him to park his bike, and pulled off a few flowers from her gown for his hat. Then she promised herself that she was going to dance as many dances as she could, with or without Roger!
Enjoy what you do, Christen
Our house is a very very fine house, with two cats in the yard... from"Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
The prompt over at The Three Muses was architecture, and I thought of gingerbread houses and log cabins, and this song. I used a cardboard piece cut out in the shape of a house with cardboard flowers and gingerbread pieces that I bought at Michaels. I photo copied an old ruler, then glued this down to the cardboard in a log cabin pattern. I painted the flowers and gingerbread pieces with acrylic paints and ink pens.
This was a fun prompt, stop by and check out the other entries, there are so many creative people who participate!
Here is the rest of the song:
I’ll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me
Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you
Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
‘Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la…..
Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
‘Cause of you
And Our
I’ll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought today….
Enjoy, Christen

Kimmie’s “T”ea on Tuesday is hosted by Chriss, and she picked the ’70’s for her theme. Groovy man, like, can you dig it? The “70’s were far out, I chilled with my friends by listening to Simon and Garfunkel and lighting sandalwood incense. I got my first pair of overalls which were totally rad, and I wore them with my embroidered work-shirt which was really cool, ya know man?
I read the poetry of Rod McKuen, and thought that my poetry was just as good, dream on, can you dig it? I spent my time embroidering, making beaded necklaces and macrame, to the max. My friends were surfers, artists, and singers, after school we would say good-bye like: see ya on the flip side with words of encouragement like: keep on truckin’.
My friend Jeri gave me this purse because it wasn’t her thing, but I really liked it ’cause it is totally out of sight.
I played the guitar, the recorder, and my cassette player with home made tapes; I read Nancy Drew and Seventeen Magazine; and I was in love with David Cassidy, he was the man!
We watched TV shows that gave us sayings like: looookin goooood, hehhh and dynomite!
The tea I drank was “sassafrass” no lie! We ate chilli dogs at Der Weiner Schnitzel and hung out at TG&Y, but we always got home on time so mom didn’t have a cow!
How funky is that? Don’t be a goof, join Chriss and the rest of the Tea Party, be there or be square!
It was fab but I gotta book! Christen
Next week Tea Tuseday will be hosted by me and the theme is “Urban Art”.
enjoy- Christen
