1 Love Letters

More than kisses, [love] letters mingle souls.
~John Donne

It is a lost art – the writing of a love letter. Taking pen to paper and pouring out your soul to your beloved. The trepidation, the shakiness of hand as you put into words the song of your heart. It is written; it is forever documented, to be cherished, to be read and re-read, pressed to a heart, words now immortal.

A text message just isn’t the same.

1 Love Letters2

Joy Fellini has taken a collection of love letters and created a masterpiece. While haute couture isn’t usually my thing, this dress captured my imagination and left me breathless. In stunning detail, Joy’s creation swept me up into the exhilaration of finding a love letter left on my pillow, the fluttering of my heart as I hear the paper rustling, my fingers trembling as I smooth the creases of the letter his hands touched.

Fellini Couture is open in a new location; the store is still being filled with her beautiful and inspired fashions, but it is worth a trip, if only to gasp in awe at her inspirations and the beautiful setting for her store.

Go and visit. Perhaps not better than kisses, but it will touch your soul.

Butterflies In The Aftermath

1 Butterflies in the Aftermath2

When you’re having a rough week, it can feel like walking up to a once-glorious castle, only to discover that the former fortress has now been reduced to ruins, weeds growing through the rubble of the courtyard, the leaves on the trees dull and brown. You can sense the change in the air as the clouds gather, hear the eerie sound as the wind whistles through the darkened windows. It is with a sense of trepidation that you wait, expecting the worst, afraid of what will come next.

It is at those times that you have to stop, take stock of your life and find something wonderful. Something that brightens your day. That one little thing that brings back your smile and if even for a moment, lifts the weight from your shoulders, allowing you to see daylight again.

Like finding butterflies in the aftermath, you can then move forward, ready to deal with whatever comes next.

Clouds In My Coffee

1 Vanity_1

Vanity. I’ve got it…at least concerning Peep. I love to dress her up, make sure she is perfectly coiffed, made up like a dream. I spend hours, literally, styling an outfit, taking a photograph, striking a pose. And all for what?

To undress, search through shops and events and my inventory to do it all again…with barely a hint of a smile on my perfectly beautiful face.

I have decided that Peep is like clouds in my coffee.
