So when Brian blustered in with an envelope addressed to MRS Joyce Hildebrand, my curiosity was arroused.
*
It was from my friend Ruth, who lives four streets over, in the very same town, with the very same windchill, experiencing the very same cabin fever as I.
*
It was a picture of a mildly hysterical artist woman looking mildly hysterical in the midst of her studio filled with even more supplies than my room-stuffed-of-inspiration.
*
And the caption from Ruthie read: "Joyce- I saw this picture and I thought of you. (SMILE)."
*
This I take as great encouragement. Maybe I could make a magazine spread for being hysterical and hoarding tonnes of stuff and turning it into other types of stuff like collages, and bags, and other artlike thingies. Maybe I could hoard more stuff.
*
Maybe.... no.... Definately, I'm really lucky to share this windswept town with someone like ruthie!

ruthie is pretty special
but then, so are you
Oh! I LOVE that artist! I remember the first time I saw her studio - I think in a Home Companion magazine. I knew I had found someone who was just a shade more of a hoarder than I am.
Just a shade. And, a box of nuts. And, old photos. And, hat stickers. And, what-have-you. Lots and lots of what-have-you.
