i will be revisting some posts this week-many new things happening and my camera has gathered a bit of dust!

blossomed passed

i remember this apple blossom branch. i had got myself a whole bunch for the store as well as for my home right after the ri flower show, were i had won peoples favorite garden as well as best in show. I also had a new puppy at home and had these blossoms in a large antiques bowl on the floor, sophie thought they were hers and she would nibble and then drink the water from the bowl that must have been so fragrant. those days were bittersweet, i was mourning the loss of my loves so much so that it was hard for me to be in the moment. as i look back at this branch the good memories have surfaced, it was a time of newness that coincided with the premature beginning of spring. looking back at these photographs, i could see it was some of my best work(it did not or never will feel like work) but it was pure, clear and saturated with life. i missed some of it then, but thanks to the photographs we take we have a second chance to stay and linger in the moment that could have easily passed us by..

vintage thursday's! flower photos for omami.

i would wear this


organza

Yesterday i sat at someone office as i looked out the window snow flakes fell, he knew i was not listening because i had a smile from ear to ear and apparently he was saying things that should have made me frown. i excused myself and said i must go now there is snow outside. well today after a night fall of rain not a flake remains. omami asked if i would share some photo's from last spring or summer so i put a few together..i needed to pick some that were delicate and quiet..incase a few snow days remain ahead of us..shush..
*the fifth photo is of my brother's bird-she is lovely

the femininity of winter (talking to the sun)

she found herself resting more often on her journey. epidemie of femininity could not understand why the snow had left her.
she loved it so, it hid all the imperfection of her world it made things brighter. she pleaded with sun to float higher in the sky. the sun chose not to listen and instead shined brighter, closer warming the earth beneath her feet. he explained to her that underneath the soil was living things that waited patiently and are eager to show there little heads. she asked the sun "tell me more" he explained that he was responsible for all these young things that he could not let them down it was what he lived for. she understood and from that moment she started to look at things in whole new way but poor little femininity was afraid to take a step and hurt the suns work...

i celebrate you

aran you came into my life as delicately as your beautiful creations and have made it richer and so much more beautiful than i could have imagined. you are witty and smart. your kindness and compassion has been the light in my darkest of times. every thing you put forth is perfection. I am with no doubt a better person for knowing you. this year will be magical
i can feel it!

happy birthday aran

being here

i have spent the last few days doing the simple things that make for great memories. i have discovered a new forest, have shared fruit with the one i love, cried at words i have heard on the big screen. i have watched the ones i love sleep. it has been good and humbling. i have shed the glamour of the spotlight, the newspaper articles and have been left with something more rewarding a family.

Vintage thursday's! french film festival

It's RI french film festival time. my favorite time. K. surprised me with a seasons pass for the whole event. I will attend as many showings as i can. I love attending! i always love how i feel, it reminds me of so many things from my past it reminds me of who i am and often inspires me to reach for more. it takes place at the cable car which is tiny and perfect with cozy couches to curl up in! I could not find the perfect vintage jeans to go with these outfits! but you know which ones i am talking about- the ones you can't live without-that fit just right and worn out perfectly!




i love these



oh the french stripes



the bag is filled with a good russian novel, apples, chocolate, water bottle and tissues of course!




love this jacket perfection with jeans

i always bring a large scarf/wrap so i can use it as a blanket while curled up!


a perfect sleek braid and this hat

oh yes with jean




i love a white blouse




love these

love this bird
