the word (the way it sounds in german) has kept me on guard. in flemish it is afbeelding. having rummaged in my vintage box for previous post inspiration, i decided to play about in my simonnetta, for a change. ☻ ps - what an incredible fantin-latour interpretation, ariane! you have shot a more than graceful image of the original painting. abbild-er, chez ariane this weekend.

    'high summer' the sound of those words on its own...and yes there are still lots of green around, a late rose, a persistent hollyhock but the real image has gone and yes may only be found for now in a green gold box, beautiful green and gold sweetie, xx

    For me this is a wonderful portrayal of childhood and how the imagination really takes flight to where a box of dreams can be a very real experience.
    Wonderful! I like your other work on this little project too !

    Oh yes Nadine! That box of imagination. Opened. The box that encourages the dream...a day dream, a full on night dream in the deepest places of sleep and the unconscious realms...a stolen moment while searching for a matching sock. Love this post tons. Norma, xo
