A SMALL THING FOR ME


(note the gorgeous bedspread and tasseled golden lamp)

I'm amazed at what a new dress and a little mascara can do for a girl! I was a little down the other morning, for reasons still unknown, and after talking with my Mom, donning my new frock and applying a teeny bit of eye makeup- voila -- a new woman is born. It is so hot and humid here, my fashions usually revolve around what is the least amount of fabric, what state of dirtiness are my clothes (I've worn pants so filthy, they stand up when I take them off) and is everything looking kosher (don't want to scandalize the neighborhood with spaghetti straps)?

Having something new in the closet, finding the right brand of peanut butter (Skippy all the way here!), knowing the bus fare -- it's the small things that really bring me joy while traveling.

  2. such a pretty girl with your flower in your hair. i always dress up on days i feel crummy.... really a lot of jewelry and perfect makeup. then people say "wow, you look nice" all day long. usually lifts me right out of the hole! then when people say "you look so nice all the time" i think to myself: wow, i must feel crummy a lot! :)

  5. I see that you took your wedding flower all the way to India. Now there's a woman who knows how to pack for a journey.
