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.

Just my luck – it’s the season finale of my favourite television program and my rabbit ears aren’t even twitching! *insert unladylike swear words*

Actually, my television in real life isn’t even plugged and hasn’t been for years, but hey, it works with the props 😉

The lovely baskets tucked into the corner are available for a special price for Lazy Sunday at Kuro on May 3. They are full of colourful cushions – great for throwing at the TV without causing any damage 😉

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.
