a little teaser; also, an apology
[ A small black leather pouch sits, flap open, on a green and white outdoor carpet. It is handsewn, with a horn button to hold the flap closed. Two others, both closed, sit behind it; also behind it is a copper-and-seaglass pendant. ] So FIRST off I want to show off what my Soap & …
