go ask Alice

Once upon a time, there was a little old shoemaker who was having trouble finishing his orders. In the middle of the night elves came and secretly cobbled his shoes. The shoemaker and his wife, unable to let the mystery remain unsolved, spied on the elves. When the elves saw the shoemaker and his wife they fled the little old shop--never to return again. Luckily, once upon another time, a girl stumbled upon a little old shop in Richmond and in there was a pair of those shoes cobbled by the elves. Ecstatic she swooped them up (for a mere eight dollars) and danced off into the sunset!

I dressed up for my mother's birthday and decided the outfit needed a tea cup to complete the look! I used my Grandmother's Wedgewood china, which sits in the cupboard in my kitchen tempting me every time I make a cup of coffee.
