flowers in me, feeling like a vase

(coffee and bakery treats at the Filling Station.)

  My Thanksgiving break so far has been quite nice to me; filled with much more free time than usual and using that free time... mostly wisely. I enjoy this "preview" of winter break taking time away from my planner of scheduled essays and tests, and focusing on a few photo shoots and finally organizing the large amount random items I've bought from rummage sales over the past few months. I spent some time reading an art magazine from the 1960's, learning some Spanish from an anatomy foam chart, and wearing slipper socks all times of the day (my apartment is quite drafty). 

  I am normally not one to do this, but I decided to wear a dress and a cashmere coat that I have for sale in my shop. The combination sounded so inviting (the coat is the single most comfortable piece in the world), I couldn't resist because I'd never personally worn them before. I must say I learned my lesson by having to hand stitch part of the dress I sagged on a twig, and that the coat's pockets are so thin my cell phone ripped through and the fall cracked the screen. Yes, this will probably never be happening again, but I'm glad to say all that is fixable and they will stay waiting for their new home... on my garment rack. I also created a Pinterest, which I've been having fun pinning everything in sight. I swore I would never make one, but things do seem to change. You can find me, here!
