I think I must have lived another life in the corseted 17th century in France. I absolutely love the imagery. Lace, corsets, tulle, petticoats, damask wall coverings, gilded furniture…all of it. I swoon when I see pictures of the beautiful dramatic architecture because I imagine all…
Something special happened today. I woke up with no appointments. No obligations. No plans! In my world, that’s when magic happens ’cause I get to play. First order of business….coffee…it will always be coffee. Second, I cranked up the music, undressed my mannequins, and started playing dress-up…
