Mismatched Dishes Beautiful

I was born an old soul and always a
    step out of time.  It seems old things just like me
and come to me-  like old colorful dishes
                     found in dusty antique shops
and second hand stores.  I found a lovely fancy tea
     cup with a small chip yesterday and
it is pretty on my window ledge now.  Dust,
                and cobwebs in depths will
not stop me when I am searching for a treasure. 
   Even one of a kind will find a forever home with me.
Oh, just ask my friends-   I set my table with
                             mismatched dishes beautiful . . .
