Today...this Full September moon, is the Bloglandia Ball...hosted by Elizabeth Bunsen, of Be...Dream...Play... After much thinking, a push from Lady Lea, and a bit of inspiration over coffee and knitting needles, . . .I decided to
play
whirl
spin
and dance.
I decided to
lay in a bed of flowers
wear my pretty red shoes
visit and share secrets with girlfriends
and let Summer chase me into Fall.
I decided to
try something newsip nettle tea
nibble herbal cookies laced with
lavender, lemon, and mint.
I decided to
laugh at the partylaugh most hearty
no sitting in corners for me.
I decided to
howl at the moonfall into a swoon
and then wake again
to a now waning moon.

What an enchanting Autumn dress for the ball! Love the little red slippers on the belt. And it's knitted? ..... absolutely lovely!!
Hello Annie Elf,
I am so happy that you found us. We are fine in Willows. Nice to ask about everyone. I see you have been busy with your needle work. I love crocheting. Not to good with knitting. But, I can do a scarf. I am
joyed the ball brought us together again. Will talk to you soon Pinkie
Annie Your dress is perfect for the Autumn ball, the harvest moon as your crown! The colors and texture dance with the falling leaves that dance at your feet!
Annie being the bell of the ball!! is that very moment in time where you first place a little red slippered foot through the door of the ball room to the hush of those who see it arrive, to the mutterings of those who admire its brillent form........to the bell of the ball I send you much colour to do as you wish!!!!
Yes your parcel wrapped in plain paper and tied up with string will arrive and blossom only with your touch my dear friend.
Lee-ann

bed and drink tea sounds so ever
wonderful. I am still dancing. Miss
