vintage afternoon

it wasn't just the book

that held her

enchanted

her grandmother's embrace 

and her barley sugar voice

murmured through the green velvet

afternoon

***

I went to an exhibition the other day "Vintage, Design with a History" it really moved me. Juxtaposed with all these funky old stories revived were all the 'pretend old' toxic 'distressing' jeans, furniture and more - it was. Distressing. We want beyond the anonymous manufacturing, but we manufacture the beyond. Bring on the real soul in your stuff. 

Love up something you sit on or wear today!

p.s. I wrote something more about the exhibition here in Girlfriends Guide to Zurich

for monday

a new day, a new week
uncharted territory
hey let's make it up
as we go. . .
:)

she had healing hands

they opened the door 
they made me tea 
they played with her hair 
they scribbled ideas
they turned the screen 
they pressed and clicked
they held my coat as I slipped in 
and out with a new set of solutions

thank you Pauline


who are you grateful for today?

finding the sweet spot

 




it was all about trust . . .

when do you just 'know'?

driveby beauty

may you breathe in the beauty 

on your way

glitches today and the technology won't play 

The pics I dreamed of all white and clear are grey and brown and no where near

right

but I'm putting them up anyway

cos for me progress is, just doing it 

and making adjustments on the way.

What beauty drew you in today and what glitches tried to make you sway?

she dared to share

there came a time when the chance of ridicule
mattered less than 
never doing it

***

a little 'naked art' 
it's blank so you can print it out
clothe it with your colours and
put what you dare on, right there.


what would it be??

art every day

She'd promised herself so many times 
and probably berated herself as many
then she just allowed herself to 
choose once again 

to create something every day

thanks Leah for putting a crowd together to play with . . .

join in? 
make a practice
what would you like to do more of?
every day?

I'd love to hear . . .
