Why don’t you?

* Have a glass of red wine every Sunday afternoon? As a tribute to a beautiful week?

* Wear a designer scarf every day? Wrapped around your head? Tied to your bag? As a belt? Make it your signature piece?

* Consider the beautiful combination of pear and blue cheese at your next dinner party?

* Wear lip stain? With a tousled ponytail? Look like you’ve spent the afternoon rolling around in fields eating fresh raspberries?

* Make pancakes? Open the windows? Play French music? Drink coffee on a sun-drenched morning?

* Wrap all your gifts in white? Crepe paper? Cotton? Bleached calico? Tie them up with creamy raw silk ribbons?

* Use terms of affection? Beautiful? Handsome? Gorgeous? Delicious?

* Read a novel? A good old-fashioned fiction? From a second hand bookstore? With that distinctive second hand bookstore smell?

Love Lady

    Mmm, second-hand-book smell… love it! Actually, I think Demeter make a perfume that’s supposed to smell like that. I bought some fragrances from them a couple of years back that were supposed to smell like various specific things, like bonfires, and cake batter, and the smell before a thunderstorm… and they totally do! It’s amazing! Sadly the scent doesn’t last for all that long… but it’s nice while it does ๐Ÿ™‚

    Terms of affection – my favourite! Sweetpea. Honeybun. Bunnykin. Fluffybum.

    Yes, I do work with children . . .

    Thanks for this darling girl, you have no idea how in need of something luxurious like this post I am right now.

    Seated here, at my desk, trying to get stuff together for my portfolio, ready to throw my sketchpad with force at the computer… Things seemed incredibly dire.

    And then, a breath of fresh, fragrant air like this post…

    Now it really doesn’t seem all that bad. And yes, maybe I will take to wearing a designer scarf…
