"They Always Try to Teach the Wrong Lesson..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Oh, and I bought a blanket! All by accident.

I met Shirley's daughter Karen at work to-day, and she was sitting in the activity room crocheting, and I admired her work enthusiastically, whereupon she promised me that she would save the one she was working on especially for me. She's only taking ten dollars for it, too, which is so kind of her because I can't imagine how much she must sell them for normally. She said a lady paid her forty dollars for one just the other day. But mine is pink and purple and cream-coloured, with a big patch in the middle of multi-coloured pastels. It's absolutely beautiful, and I'm so excited.

Pretty things make me so happy, and touchable things, too. I still love my moon-snails blanket that I got for Christmas. And Mum bought golden leaf-patterned cloth and little white flower buttons at Ben Franklin's (because it's going out of business) to make me a dress with, a spring dress, and I think it will be the most beautiful dress imaginable.

...In a very short time, I shall wear nothing but dresses. This is a startling but entirely possible thing.

Who will give me a hug? O! Who will give Soujin a hug?

Spring dresses <3. I'd loooove to wear dresses everyday. My grandmother gave me several beautiful vintage dresses recently and I've been dying to wear them, although it's still too cold. You've absolutely got to take a photo of the dress when it's finished; it sounds gorgeous.

*MEGAHUG!*

...and that can come from Rina and me both, cos I don't believe in logging into proper journals, as I have mentioned before. Plus, she's just such a huggy girl.

*and even more hugs!*

Ben Franklin's... is that a little general store-type thing? If so, there's one here. I love it because it always has the most random stuff. *g*

*squeezes*

It really is awfully fun. They're all floaty and soft and skirty-swish. I hope that the weather warms soon so that you can wear yours! If I take a photograph of mine, will you photograph yours for me? I'd love to see them. ^_____^

*hurrah! hugs!*

Yes, yes! Craft store, really. It has the bizzarest random things, indeed!

[bewareofitalics]

Hm, I don't think mine's really a craft store. Though I guess it does have a bunch of craft stuff. But I usually buy toys there. *g* My friend Christina and I exchange silly little presents every month, and Ben Franklin's is a goldmine for that sort of thing.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, then. ^_^ But they do have toys. And fabrics and artificial flowers and puzzles and picture frames and beads and ribbon and a million things nobody needs. In any event, v. enjoyable place.

[bewareofitalics]

I'll take you to mine and you can tell me if it's the same as yours. *g* Oh, and did I mention that it's attached to a used bookstore?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Okay! Sounds good. ^_~ ---Ooh. How funny. Not that I care, of course. Lalala.

[bewareofitalics]

Maybe we could look for some of those books I have to read!
