Unusual Art for the eclectic eye

Come in out of this terrible night my Friend. Raining again, is it? The wind is a fury, blowing everything about like that. My name is Ledley Barbour. I am the Curator and Keeper of the Treasures here at the Mossthread Museum. I am not alone here, walking these endless corridors, I am accompanied by my shape shifting Companion, Sebastienne the Crow. One day we will tell you the story of why we are held prisoners here...captives. Until then, We invite you into the Mossthread Museum. We are sure that we have something here that you will want.

The Gift Room

 The rain has faded to a fine misty drizzle this morning. I found myself walking to the Ancestral Textile Room, where my gaze fell upon a length of golden dupioni silk.

I know little of what is happening in the world outside these walls, but I feel the clamor of fear and uneasiness. As the Evergreen time approaches, I will make available what I am able to contribute to the community outside this place. It is my small part and my intention to do something good. To promote joy. To be a help.

If this is something that you can use or will help to make your Evergreen brighter, then click on the page to the right top...It will transport you via Bumbershoot to the gift room. 

You are required to pay postage. The first person to comment on the gift page will receive it.

 Come in, and Welcome once again to the Mossthread Museum.

 It has been a lonely time here and again a long while since you have crossed the threshold to my world. Thank you for coming back. I have been somewhat tortured by your absence.  If I look closely into your eyes, I can see you appear to be dressed in your nightwear and have your fuzzy slippers upon your feet! No matter, I will pretend you are dressed in your finest.

 I apologize for the weather; the rain has been especially persistent this autumn and indeed, the wind has damaged some of the outer structures. Ruining the Septimus Greenhouse and depositing the structure into the pond. The goldfish were dismayed. 

I have an announcement to make, and I think you will find it to your liking. 

The Mossthread Museum will be hosting an Evergreen Celebration in early December. In a time when nights are longest and darkest, we choose light. WE choose joy, even I Ledley Barbour, will make merry!

There may be the possibility of an actual guest here! I promise they are under no enchantment...no spell binds them. Indeed, I am the only prisoner here at this time.  Sebastienne is on Sebastical. They have other haunts to inhabit. 

So 

come in your night clothing if you wish. or don your party hat!

Our Celebration will start with a party on Sunday December 8th. There will be prizes! There will be artifacts for sale. There might be music. I might share a recipe. 

It is my hope that you will make the journey here, thank you, and see yourself out.
