A feminine touch
I adore feminine designs, delicate fabrics and silky patterns, glass and mirrors, stones and jewelry. I would love to have a boudoir, a room for myself, filled unabashedly with feminine touches...a dressing room/atelier/book nook/fireplace/garden room...a place to sit and write a letter, read a novel, drink a cup of tea, chat with my girlfriends on the phone, try on a new outfit or dream a little dream!
I'd have colors and cushions like that...
And some lovely chairs like these...
And a chandelier like one of them...
There would be a soft carpet...
And delicate glass and china...
There are books...
And lovely dresses...
A scent like that...
And a view into the garden...
Did I forget anything? Fill in the rest and there it is...
As Mother's Day approaches I feel we need to think of mothers as woman first and then we remember what makes them special and what keeps them full-filled with their motherly energy...
To my mother and my mother-in-law: A million thanks for your love, guidance and friendship! And I thank my children who have made me a happy Mama for more then 20 years! I love you, darlings!
Happy Mother's Day to all moms at heart out there!

ReplyDeleteHi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteI just read your post on Vicente Wolf's blog. So, rather than post there, I thought I would post on YOUR blog which is also very cool! I haven't started one yet, but I'm also in Westchester--near Katonah. We all have our horror stories. I always say... "I've made plenty of mistakes-- I just try not to make the same ones twice!"
