tea with amber alexander

***

i don't remember how i first discovered her work..

through my many blissful hours of roaming 

through the pages and pages

of talent on etsy..i'm sure.

***

but i do remember being happy that i had a hot pot of tea next to me

as i found myself journeying along with amber alexander

and her beautiful little creatures

***

on their travels and adventures. 

***

..some mischievous 

***

some innocent..

and all very playful.

***

they remind me of a more painterly and rich version

(just look at those colors and brushstrokes..gorgeous)

of the work of beatrix potter,

whose imaginative work i loved as a child (and still do).

amber leads me back to that imaginary place

that i never want to forget 

no matter how old i get.

***

now go put on a pot of tea, grab lots of honey and please join byron and me

for a little journey this afternoon.
