land of oz can be in kansas, or a dreamy london monday time ago;
or - it can be in its current incarnation as an enclave for porcelain dolls
in the town that boasts the only stoplight in the entire county:

savanna, IL: mississippi palisades national park, granny o'neil's bed and breakfast,
and the land of oz. this map cheerfully rendered in pink pen led me past the train tracks
along the mississippi river towards this wee little house where a cast of ladies sat with
piles of glass eyes, painting them blue and green with the finest eyelash brushes.

unfortunately, i had not paid the mucho dollars required to participate and the patroness
was none too friendly at my visit. i only had access to the garage full of unwanted doll parts
but just as well. the drive was beautiful and i enjoyed the shelves of faces without bodies [see above]
and i of course appreciate the new map.  soon i'll be able to have a pink series.
