I loved the colors of the kid cups enough that I experimented with the adults' cups today. When I first saw these in the Stop&Shop several summers ago, they made me smile - so colorful, so indestrucible, so nice in the hand - so I got a bunch then and a few more each time they come out with new colors.

I thought I had constructed one of the Tarot minor arcana (eleven of cups, anyone?) but they only go up to 10. That, of course, made me think of making my own tarot from end to end. Not this year. I think I have my hands full with the daily postcard and the monthly journal page. But it would be deeply amusing to construct such a thing out of the materials that mean most to me and everyday objects. Embroidered fabric collage cards, anyone? Maybe a couple of us could cooperate, with some divy of the major arcana and a whole suit to experiment with. I know there is a quilt tarot deck, I have a copy of it and it is quite lovely.

Off to the doctor's with the dripping child.
