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

 There is a fine chilly mist hovering around the Mossthread Museum. It sometimes appears blue-grey to me, and it is difficult to make out anything through its veil. It will soon rain and the mist will dissolve in the down pour.

I have taken this time to treat my arthritis discomfort with a beverage I find uplifting and beneficial. I'll share it with you if you would like. In a glass place 1/4 teaspoon of tumeric and 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, if you like add one teaspoon of local honey or agave. Add a cup of orange juice to this and throughly mix these ingredients together, add ice. Ever so gently add 1/4 cup of beet juice to the top. Drink with a straw.

I have found a magical coloring book in the library. It's filled with lovely images and if you put up your bumbershoot and follow the link to the Gift Room, you need only comment and it will be yours. There is only one! First come first served! And you have to pay a bit of postage.

 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.
