With hurricane Joaquin bearing down on the Maryland coast today, the people of Frederick must be hunkering down at home or at the local grocers buying all the milk and bread, because no one is shopping on Patrick St today....and the unique, exotic array of interesting objects are beginning to talk to me...Yes..talk....
The intricately carved suar wood
elephants from Indonesia were grumbling because someone had separated
them on three different shelves in the store and....
“didn't they know they we are herd
animals?!”
They were absolutely right so I moved
them together and they seem much happier.
Then the felted pen
toppers,artistically made in an an array of different animals from
gray and white adorable penguins to orange striped tigers to the
russet reindeer were wriggling and looking a bit squashed in the
glass bowl at the desk.
“Hey! Hey! Can you PLEEASE do
something about this? We need a bigger bowl! Or some of us need to go
to the back storeroom!”
What we need today is customers to
come in and give them a good home on top of a pen...for a child,
grandchild, or an ageless child like me who finds felted animals just
so darn adorable that they make me smile from ear to ear.
We have new music at the store. And
today, I have the quiet opportunity to listen to each CD. I find the new music to be awesome!
Emeline Michel, Dobet Gnahore, Valerie June, PapaWemba, Asa, and
Tangle Eye. Beautiful beautiful voices melting with the beauty of the
store. Is it my imagination or are the whimsical wall clocks from
Colombia ticking to the beat of the music? And the carved alstonia
wood bobble head sheep from Indonesia are bobbing along to the music
as well. Wait...is an earthquake imminent? The Seismic Critters born
in rural southern Mexico are bobbing their heads too! The artisans
who create these little creatures from gourds, believe they are
endowed with the super power of telekinetic earthquake detection.
Although, today, I think they are detecting good music vibrations!

today! Come join the fun!
And as usual, the new and colorful
array of silk and wool scarves are calling out....
“Buy me Buy me!” What's a girl to
do....I say BUY!
