In lieu of trying to belong to any number of societies: Chesterton, Sherlock Holmes, the Inklings, and so on: I propose and establish one of my own. Don your intelligence cap at the door; dust off your logic and imagination; did you bring your inspiration and encouragement? We are shapers, my friends; lit lamps; light-bringers. Bring quotes; poetry should be uplifting and thoughtful, or witty and clever, (or both). Humor is encouraged; laughter is invited back. Pull up a chair. Anyone for tea?

Precious beyond words!

Livi, what is the color on your walls? It looks, in pictures, like a duck egg blue, but pictures on the computer monitor can be rather deceiving. I'm planning on painting my bedroom after the first of the year, and want a sort of icy blue with ever so slight a tinge of green. That is what yours appears to be, and if I am correct in that assumption, I may just have found the color of my dreams. <3<3 If you could let me know the brand and name, or possibly send a brush of a bit of it on a scrap of paper, that would be so helpful. It's so lovely!

Yes, Auntie Meredith, it is such the loveliest color. I love it dearly (I tried another color when I moved here, but had to revert to the lovely blue we had discovered at our old house.) I would love to send you a bit of painted paper in the mail with its name. ;)

Livi, I went to Home Depot today and grabbed every paint chip that approximated what you have on your walls, but nothing spoke to me like this one does. I so hope I can match it. It's such a pretty color. So pretty, in fact, that being swept away by its beauty, I completely failed to mention those two beautiful people sitting on your bed. <# Yumminess.
