Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.
Eugene O'Neill (b. 16 october 1888 -1953)playwright, 1936 nobel laureate in literature
last sunday while puttering around in the basement I encountered an old purse in a poorly marked box - inside was em's collection of my pretty ponies*. the ponies and accompanying accouterments were disheveled and a bit smelly - not surprising since they have spent the last twenty plus years in storage. after bringing the purse upstairs, I placed the ponies in a mild bleach, water and lavendar bath. after rinsing them off from their bath, the ponies were dried and properly pampered.
tuesday, ms. t's next planned day on avenue c was pretty amusing, when she saw the ponies she proclaimed 'where did all the ponies come from?!' I explained they were em's from when she was a little girl and perhaps she'd like to play with them. she was perplexed as to how they could have ponies 'back then' - but then soon got down to some pretty serious pony play.
sometimes being a pack-rat is pretty neat.
p is also for a pretty girl sitting in a pumpkin patch!

They are a little scary, in ranks and with their round-eyed gazes.
My daughter played with these as a child....this makes me feel like it was so long ago. Wish I would have saved them.
