Velma wasn’t expecting a newcomer;
she shook hands
and smiled,
but
could feel herself bristling.
She didn’t like surprises.
She looked down into her blue tea cup
and wondered
why
Susan seemed familiar.
She didn’t like it.
She flashed quickly
on a photo that hung
in her childhood home.

I'm a botanical archivist & mom of two little kids, knitting during our 40-minute commute across Pittsburgh's beautiful bridges. I'm also a cynic and deplore those ads for showing your individualism by purchasing mass produced furniture, clothes, accessories, whatever.
Individuality cannot be expressed through mass produced objects. It is a structural impossibility. Shopping at department stores I have five choices. Working with a seamstress or artist on a handmade wardrobe, I have a world of choices. Handmade is freedom.
I post weekly.
My New England mom calls me Angel Leigh in a fake southern accent when she's playing around, and hearing it makes me smile.
So lovely! Thank you for making my cup a part of this little scene.
Thanks, Rory! Your pottery is wonnnnderful! x a
