i dreamed a tiny little something last night
and came here to tell you about it ..
and came here to tell you about it ..
wait - you have a dream to share too ?
then walk in, let's pour ourselves some tea
and see what kind of story they make together !
instructions : write something cute, random, and a little silly, filled with imaginary words and whatever other funny things your heart come up with ..
add a sentence, introduce a curious creature, bring an unexpected object or topic to the story, or simply leave a tiny thought for the next person to continue.
a little tea party for the imagination, with a shared storybook that keeps growing. ♡

and here is where our story begins ..
everything was quiet.
i was sitting by the window, observing the garden, then i suddenly noticed a tiny floof hiding underneath my teacup.
꒰ figure 01 ꒱
" pofu ! " it squeaked.
i looked underneath the table, but there was nothing there except a crumb, three sleepy dust bunnies, and a very suspicious little button.
so i picked up the button and asked, "are you lost ?"
the button wiggled,
" putty meep. "
꒰ figure 02 ꒱
this seemed like a perfectly reasonable answer !
i poured a little more tea, placed a biscuit beside the saucer, and waited.
after a few minutes, the floof returned wearing a hat made from a blueberry leaf.
꒰ figure 03 ꒱
"ah ," i said. "you've brought company."
behind the floof came a procession of tiny creatures carrying spoons, ribbons, acorn teacups, and one enormous strawberry.
nobody explained the strawberry.
and so we had tea.
the floof drank three drops.
the button drank nothing.
the strawberry sat very politely in the middle of the table ( even though it doesn't have legs, it was actually sitting and you could tell it )
꒰ figure 04 ꒱
then someone whispered, "what if the moon is actually made of pudding ?"
"i mean, a cheese moon is pretty cliché at this point."
the strawberry suddenly sneezed!!!
" achee~" (that's how all strawberries sneeze)
"Bless you," whispered a little voice. A shy little ant had been watching our tea party!
the ant carried a cloud of sparkles and poured it in everyone's teacups.
the tea has become sparkle soup.
꒰ figure 05 ꒱
i took a little sip.
it tasted like sleepy mornings, the color pink ( in a very specific shade ) , three-and-a-half marshmallows , and the sound a spoon makes when it falls under the table.
"hm .. i don't think this is healthy" i decided.
the ant took a sip too and immediately puffed up to twice its size.
i got worried, because that could mean it was indeed very bad!!
꒰ figure 06 ꒱
but then it slowly shrinked back to 50% of its original size.
that was a relief. but also a bit frustrating, since i was in the middle of a call with the ant's life insurance company.
unfortunately, they informed me that ants are only insured while they are their original size.
"does 50% of an ant count as half an ant ?" i asked.
there was a very long silence on the other end of the phone.
the ant, however, seemed quite pleased with the situation.
"eep!"
at 50% of its original size, a single biscuit crumb was now approximately the size of a birthday cake!!
in fact, all crumbs present became tiny birthday cakes.
꒰ figure 07 ꒱
the floof decided this was an emergency and hurried away !!
It returned carrying one grain of sugar and a button that was definitely not the same button as before.
none of us knew what this was supposed to accomplish, but we appreciated the effort.
