almost time
The party favors are being gathered ...
The tables being set.
Bowls being filled with treats,
and candles being lit.
The names in the teacup ... overflow.
The excitement is mounting.
The hour approaches ...
Little feet scamper about in a flurry ...
Are gingersnaps ready?
Something special for everyone?
Someone checks.
And tea to be served?
We are ready?
A wee someone says, yes.
Tonight is the night.
All eyes will watch to see if they spy ...
The magic moment when the name appears.
From the teacup to the paper inside ...
Where nothing was, but then is ...
One name.
One tiny glass bottle with a paper inside.
And when that top is uncorked ...
a name will whisper out.
All the tiny bears sit in silence ...
Wondering. Quivering.
Will it be them?
They know.
Only one will hear the name.
Will it be their ear that hears?
The name of a human
... their forever person.
Will they be someones Valentine?
Will yours be the name whispered?
To One Tiny Bear?
..:: a wee 2-3/4 inch five point jointed mohair bear ::..
-- designed & made for you with love ... by me .:: zUzU ::.
Made of vintage mohair & wool, w/matted blown glass eyes, and a frumpy blue silk ribbon he adores ... Measuring less than 3-inches at his tallest, stuffed w/cottonwool, excelsior, and big wishes. The winners name will be placed inside next to his heart ... with the 'inside story' of his beginnings sealed within (--a copy to read included) signed/dated/marked ... & tagged with my Heartstrings studio logo.
It has long been spoken of among the bears ...
That at the very same moment a tiny bear
is matched with a Valentine, all the candles
burning around the world will flicker.
And something will be whispered
into their Valentine's ear only for them to hear.
But. Only if they believe.
What will that human hear?
It will happen before the clock strikes midnight.
Light a candle.
and Believe in magic.
