Wuglyees In The Boudoir?!.....Really?!

      This beautiful VICTORIAN BLUE vegan suede journal, from moxy, is one of the items in a nice Etsy Treasury curated by pikespeakpillowco. Isn't it just beautiful! I can almost see all of my poems in here...living...telling a story. 
      The Treasury it's in is entitled For Your Boudoir.

     But she didn't put my poems in her "Boudoir" Treasury. She put my Wuglyee Remnant Flower Slippers in there! :-)

      Frankly, I didn't think my slippers deserved such a fancy place. Or at least that's what I thought when I saw the name of the Treasury. Whenever I see the word "Boudoir" I think of a room, next to a bedroom bathroom, with a vanity table and mirror, a cushioned footstool, pretty bottles of perfume all lined up in front of the mirror, and a pair of high heeled slippers with feathery puffs on top of the instep! And nowhere in that scenario do I see my 'Knock-Around' clompy flower slippers!! ^_^
     But Hey! She saw them there....so who am I to argue! :-) The scenario I just painted about that fancy rich person's boudoir does fit some of the other things she chose for her Treasury though! Like this Personalized Letter Sign, with the word DREAM, hanging on 5 wood knobs, painted black, by NelsonsGifts.

       It would look beautiful on a wall in a boudoir!.......Or this Very Old Beautiful Floral Demitasse Cup by vintagebella.

       I could see me sitting there powdering my face with an enormously large  powder puff, and sipping on some mint chocolate julip tea, with just the slightest bit of cream in it. :-)
      I could also see this Maltese Glass Paperweight by 1001vintage...

       ...sitting in the boudoir too! Maybe right on the edge of the vanity, holding down a couple of my unfinished poems.
       And since you know how much I love a flower...there would have to be some flowers in there! And flowers on a pillow, like this Felt Pillow with Crocheted Flowers by ekofabrik....

        ....would be PERFECT!...You have to see the other pillows in this shop too...just saying!
     As a matter of fact, the curator of this treasury, pikespeakpillowco, also has some gorgeous pillows in her shop too! Look at these two...

       ...a Brown, Black and White Wool Blend Plaid Throw Pillow...So cute!
      And a Green Pleather Throw Pillow that could be as much fun to decorate with, as it is cute!

      So, maybe I don't see my slippers in a boudoir, but I can sure see ME in there!! :-) I don't have the money, but I sure have "boudoir attitude!" ^_^
     Thanks to pikespeakpillowco for including me yesterday!...And thanks to all of you for your wonderful support yesterday too! You pumped me up with your words, and your actions {voting for me in the DIY Fashion Award at About.com. Thanks to you all, I'm now in 3rd place!...Still a long way from winning, but I see your support and I thank you! :-)}
     As a note of unfinished business, yesterday I named the winner of my Giveaway. Well, guess what?...She's the same winner from last time!! In her own words, this is partially what she said:

     "I can't believe my name was chosen again!...I love the amazing afghan I won last month and it gets put to use every single night...with a puppy snuggled in. Because of Cindy's generosity, I was able to receive such a warm, beautiful gift. So, Cindy has inspired me to pass it on. I hope that someone else can enjoy your wonderful give away blanket as much as my family does..."

      She was speaking about Cindy of CinLynn Boutique, who won the Giveaway two times in a row, and the 2nd time passed it on to someone else....So Cindy, you inspired her to pass the gift afghan on to the next person....who is....Elle The Heiress!

     Congratulations Elle!! Please contact me with your address so I can send my "baby" off to you! :-) 

     Okay, that's it for today!....And don't worry, there won't be a poem about the boudoir below!! But there will be some living words...as always...living words of thanks! ^_^ 

Living Are The Words

All Poets through the ages,
from Poe to Maya Angelou,
have known the power of a word
and what the written word can do.

Words, alone, or in a sentence,
camouflaged or on their face,
are living breathing things,
occupying time and space.

Left within the mind
no one can hear them swear and curse.
When you release them by your speech,
their jab can go from bad to worse.

A complement is like the carving
of a golden apple's peel.
Falling gently on the hearer,
making shiny words a meal.

Cutting words are like a dagger
seeking out the mind and heart.
of the innocent and sure.
Pulling confidence apart.

Living breathing, in and out,
causing havoc every day.
You could be their vehicle.
So, be careful what you say.

Let good words inhabit spaces,
(which inevitably they do.)
And in receiving minds and hearts?
Let them flourish in there too!
