A Night Visit...

Here is a poem I wrote while gazing at the night sky one cold winter night recently...

A Night Visit

In the fragrant, black rose garden of the night sky, our dear friend Mademoiselle Moon and her darling crimson cousin Mademoiselle Mars hover near our window tonight.

Bee angels and dragonfly ghosts float about them, spinning their webs in the cold winter night to keep our friends warm.

Inside this chilly night, they sip night-thistle tea, cream of clouds and extra squirts of ghostbee honey .

Small clouds of milky-tea steam warm their faces and lighten the sky.

Closer and closer now, their webs of glittery moon-light and rosy mars-light creep in our window, across our floor, up to the foot of our bed as they reach to tickle our toes and wish us good-night!

Moonstruck

Dearest Friends,
Your kind patience is so appreciated.

This is my submission for The Three Muses' Moonstruck Challenge.

This is for my mother.

I love you, Mommy.

And also tonight. . .

A new item in The Gossamer Tearoom Gift Shop, the second set of Women in the Moon notecards. This is an all new set, with completely different images from the first set. But like the first set, a very nice quality silver pen is included in your order, for writing on your cards and envelopes in suitable, ethereal fashion.

Very Nice Ladies!

Dear Friends,
Even though The Gossamer Tearoom Blog has only existed since New Year's Day of this year, I have met so many very nice ladies in the blogsphere already! There is the very imaginative Lisa from Faerie Enchantment, whom I met when I bought one of her fabulous CDs of images on Etsy. Also, I have participated in two of her blog events and had so much fun! Then, there is my dear blog friend LuLu, who has her very sweet Coastal Sisters blog. We met when she bought some of my Tea Party Buttons from my Etsy site. She is so sweet and funny and a few days ago, surprised me with one of her beautiful Eiffel Tower charms from her online gallery (Thank you so very much again, Miss LuLu!)! Then, there is the very nice Janet from French Blue. I'll tell you a little secret...There are some blogs that are just so cute and cool that I feel a bit bashful about commenting on them (that's a bit silly, isn't it? Please tell me I'm not the only one who has felt that way!). That was what I thought about French Blue. So, I was completely amazed when Janet started commenting on my blog (!!) and became a follower (!!!). Imagine how excited I was to see that yesterday, she had used one of my Femme de la Lune cards to illustrate her post about another of my blog heroines, Claudia of Paris Apartments!!

And in that same post, here was just one more bit of sugar in your tea from these two ladies:

Claudia just commented....She wants to Reward all you little darlings...So she is offering a giveaway drawing to one of YOU with an online shop!! FREE advertising on her site for 3 months!!

I'd just like to take a moment to thank all of these very nice ladies for their very warm welcome to me to the world of blogging!

Wishing you all a very happy weekend (you might not see much of me because it's my husband's and my second anniversary!)

Under the light of the silvery moon...

On this second day of 2009, I have added a very important widget.  I love the full moon, moonlight and most things bearing images of the moon.  The widget shows which phase the moon is currently in!  I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful for the planning of your moonbathing soirees!
