red, brown, blue and green...

i don't really 

know

how to start ...

.

this post

but here goes

last week i left

jellen's house of fabric

for the very first time

to attend a meeting

at ohio state university

i wrote about it at great length

on the store blog

i wanted to carry a bag

not my usual black leather

rather a hand crafted creative one

as a show and tell of sorts

i chose one that i had

ordered off an etsy website

by sandradembroidery

she left me a sweet message

on a post i wrote

and so i wanted her to see

the one i carried

now why is this picture

in front of a fire truck

well at the close of the meeting

the alarms went off

likely the result of construction

in the basement

as the men got off the truck

i thanked them for all they do

the man walking out beside me

was impressed he said

he never heard someone

thank firefighters before

well i said

i have a thing for the men in blue

so he told me to turn around

and snapped my picture

so now i have a photo

of that great bag

stitched with chrysalis

for sandy to see

and another memory

of me with a big red
