Saturday, June 07, 2003Nichole has a blog, now!! How cool! And she's linked to it in my blog linker thing...you should visit. She writes wonderfully, these small, tight and very human profiles that are just totally real and wonderful. (And thanks for linking to me!) Well, it's the weekend, which means I can ease off some. I probably won't write much (not at all tomorrow...I take my Sundays, I think it's important to have a break every week, it clears the mind.) Mostly, Saturdays are housework days, don't you think? Saturdays always smell like Mr. Clean/Endust lemon and oil soap and Windex. I also took a look at the yard of beaded trim I bought to replace the beads on my scarf...and now am a confirmed beaded trim freak. I have this overwhelming desire to go buy it somewhere. I like their weight, the feel of them, all cold and slippery, and the light sound they make. So, I'll be sewing that on today, maybe finish the sheet I've been embroidering. Back when I was a romantic, I'd determined that I would embroider a sheet set...pillow cases, and a top sheet...for my wedding night. That's done been and gone and died, and so the blank sheets bought for that are now sporting a very heavy, Chinese Phoenix and flowers set of motifs. Who needs a man anyway? Like, guys would appreciate the embroidery, anyway. I think we all want to live this lush, exotic life. Well, I shouldn't say we, you may not, but I certainly feel the need to. I want simplicity, too though...and book shelves. Damn do I need some bookshelves. Oh, yes, lushness! That's where I was. I think that's why things like velvet, beaded trim, etc are slowly coming back into style. I think that we all hunger for the exotic, which is why explorers so long ago wanted to reach the India and China...that, and the loads of cash they figured they'd be making, but money aside, there is something about those far off lands that speaks of things exquisite and rare and, well, lush. Sybaritic. I'm not much on either being a sybarite or a hedonist, but there is something about the idea of everything being beautiful and perfect, even your ustensils and pots marrying beauty with use. Oh, dear. This is what they call blathering, isn't it? Back to web page thinking about updating. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 3:53 PM 0 comments |
