yesterday...

i noted yesterday,

between a movie and a meal

that perhaps the time had come

to retire my springified plastic flowers

in favour of something a little more fitting

to the coming joyful jolly season.

this made me a little sad

as i do like my springified plastic flowers

however upon closer inspection,

my sadness turned to joy

for indeed, 

such were the colours of my plastic pretties

they are most suited to

a joyful jolly bit of jolly~ness

after the movie and meal

but before the game of

3 card brag,

i found a willing jar victim

and a rather pretty scrap

of vintage lace.

several moments later,

along with several lengths of thread

and a cup or two of dried rice

my 'nearly retired but stopped in the nick of time' flowers

were doing a rather spiffy job

of bringing some seasonal cheer

to our fireplace
