I know there is a real world out there. I know there are many serious things going on. I know tax season is looming. Trust me, boy do I realize all of this. Thing is, I don't wanna think about it. Not today. Not now. And, I gather, neither do you. So, c'mon, let's get outta the real world for a little while... We all deserve a break.
Today, it's all about ruffles, swings & sunshine.
It's all about giving yourself a little push...
Propelling your imagination to great heights...
And allowing yourself to drown in it...
It's about having the support of those you love, to fly - unhindered...
It's about, the ones you entrust your heart to, offering up a bit of sweetness when you least expect... (these were totally unplanned, and actually in his hand as he approached me on the swing)
It's about, that hand, the one that clutches yours - inherently knowing when you are sitting still...
And you trusting enough, to fall back into it, and let yourself be gently pushed to other levels within...
Once you reach that special blissful place, of inner thoughts and dreams - the place noone in the world can access, not even the person who really knows you- it's about jumping off and catching it in your ruffles.
It is about, giving yourself permission, to be the person you hold in your mind's eye. It's about, letting the magic in. It is about losing the negativity, and misconceptions people want to box you into about who you are. Because really, the only opinion about you that matters, is the one you have of yourself...
It's about holding on to that tight. And loving you, inside of your life. With all its quirks and imperfections. Because, that is what creates spectacular character...
It was a very sad person who invented the idea of being too old for this or that. Of being too skinny, too tall, too short, too fat, for this or that. It was a very sad person, who blurted out mindless thoughts, that too many people listened to. Thoughts that set boundaries for centuries. Thoughts that had no meaning. No bearing. Just mindless thoughts of one negative person, that took off like wildfire. And because for some reason, it is easier to buy into negativity, we did. But, we don't have to. We never did...
Just close your eyes and put this on. It's magic, I tell ya...
Now, I best be off to unpack some "supplies" I stopped at my house in town to get this week. I promise, they were necessary supplies ;) that I really wanted with me at the country love shack. I own two of lots of things. Shoes, Shampoos and soaps and perfumes... But, there are vintage loves you couldn't possibly have two of... Unless you were an Onassis of course. And even then, you couldn't find two of certain treasures... You just couldn't...
Mister Lovee is always urging me to get a little clutch bag for when we go out. So I don't have to bring my needlepoint monster. I always look at him, like, a little clutch? I don't need to buy one, I have 400 of them at the house in town (not really), but you get my point. And then, I raise an eyebrow and think, what the heck does he know about little clutch handbags?? Haha!!
But I listen. Don't I? I do ;)
Oh, I forgot, silly me. On the art front - I have two new Charming Silhouette prints on canvas, in my shop...
The Treasure Collector- Charming Silhouettes - (AFT watermark does not appear on actual images)
And-
The Seamstress ~Magic Maker ~ Charming Silhouettes
Now - I have to run because I can hear music notes trickling out of Mister Lovee's workshop...
And I just don't want to miss a beat...

ps: Why does time go by so fast? This week whipped past me like, I dunno. The only thing I ever wanted to have in common with this song, was being 15 years old, and being strapped into a standing spinning tilting swirling rocket at a carnival, and having this blasted into my ears, as my guts hit my brain cells, and dropped to my feet... ;) I didn't want time slipping by to be quite so literal. Sheesh ;)
pss: I made this exact baked hungry-girl.com recipe this weekend!! With original Fiber One cereal, ground in the blender as breading - with a little garlic seasoning mixed in. Yummmy, and so much better than fried, which we like to avoid... Oh wait - I didn't use egg beaters. I used 3 brown eggs...
Tonight - my special custardish Jewish rice pudding recipe for mister lovely, oops I mean Mr. Lovee, tee hee ;) Tenderly cooked in a lovely bain marie... See you sooooon! (sooner than last time)
