Ghost


Another secondhand treasure

When I saw this dress I knew I had to have it. I didn't really see it as something I'd wear, so much as an art piece. My mind instantly raced thinking of different ways of transforming it - maybe into a lamp with little white lights inside, or a wall piece, or... right now it's against the window shade catching the light and shadows and I think I'll leave it this way for a while. It's also kind of nice left just the way it is.

Oh, it's wonderful!! I think the idea of turning it into a lamp is great. I wonder if the prewious owner ever gave a thought for all these possibilities?

I feel like wanting to visit the flea market right now.

So pretty.
The minimalist in me likes it just the way it is...

loved your recent posts about your recent music/ camping/ redwoods get-a-way.

I haven't been camping in so long, I don't know if I'd like it or dislike it at this point...one thing is for sure...and I related to your drawing about this...I just cannot pack light!

xo :)

I couldn't see it as something I'd wear either, and it looks so pretty translucent against the window!
