1 The Magic of Butterflies1

There is not much that can match the magic of butterflies. Suddenly a dreary day becomes spring-like, worries lift on the fragile wings of this wonder of nature. Beauty fills an otherwise unpleasant moment.

Close your eyes, imagine the chrysalis transforming into this perfect illustration of metamorphosis. Feel the warmth of a smile fluttering upon your lips as the butterfly on the rose.

The Girl In The Hat

1 The Girl In The Hat

There is just something about a girl in a hat. She may be an ordinary girl with doubts about herself, but when she puts on a hat, she changes. Whether it is a beret, a wide-brimmed sun hat or a fedora, when she places it carefully atop her head something magical happens. It is as if a prince has crowned her with a tiara. She is more confident, whimsical and proud. She transforms from a wallflower to the belle of the ball. All eyes turn to her as she enters a room, a lovely centrepiece to be admired.

She is simply perfection, this girl in the hat.

Lesson Learned From Surrealism

1 Uncommon Smile D

I consider myself to be a rather grounded, down-to-earth kind of person. So I almost didn’t click into the gallery for The Surreal Complex over on Seraphim to see what was on offer. Ah, in case you didn’t know about Seraphim, that is my shopping secret weapon. It is how I find out about the majority of sales events going on and gives me a sneak-preview so I can decide whether or not to fight the crowds.

But, being the dedicated shopper that I am, I took a peek. I was expecting something along the lines of nightmare-inspired items; instead, I found more quirky, clever and cute items mixed in with the more avant-garde. The event is divided into three categories: art, dreams and fairy tales. It is a fun shopping venue (although I did have trouble finding the teleporter back to the main level from the dreams gallery) and while it was busy, it wasn’t overly crowded, making it a very pleasant shopping experience.

My favourite items were the poses. I had to have the Butterflies set from UNCERTAIN SMILE, and immediately headed over to Two Moon Gardens to play with it. It was the perfect distraction while I waited the required ten minutes for entry into the Two Moon Gardens Booty Board competition (group membership required).

I guess this just shows that one should never judge a book by its cover or a sales event by its name. I have always believed the first; I am learning the wisdom of the second.
