that is so home-beautiful. i love the lavender. and the light--it looks just like what i imagine the south to feel like. you know i am tempted to go south for graduate school.
You would be SOOO welcome! I'll be your personal pseudo-Southern advocate.
My whole house smells like lavender right now because I used Vanilla Lavender-scented fabric softener to wash all my linens.(In preparation for my grandparents' arrival tomorrow.) It's quite the intoxicant. Like an Emily Dickinson poem. Or maybe that's the glass of wine I just drank.
Regardless.
Random Emily poem:
I like a look of agony because I know it's true; Men cannot sham convulsion, Nor simulate a throe, The eyes glaze once, And that is death, Impossible to feign, The beads upon the forehead, By homely anguish strung.
"Yes, the way I feel about being a woman in the South is the way I feel about the oleander that blooms in June: though it's said that the sap, even brushed against one's skin, is toxic, I carelessly break the branches, stick the ravishing flowers into my hair..."-- Rosemary Daniell
What I'm Reading Now...
