I watched the movie. I love this art form. I think of Dita Von Teese. I love this song.

17 humble sales at my Etsy Shop. I’m so happy. I wish you a full and WONDERFUL weekend. :)

Available as a 5 x 5 print at my Etsy Shop for $10.50. I think this is one of my new favourites. :)

“Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and this hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.” –John Berger

“This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain’s very important. That’s when Paris smells its sweetest. It’s the damp chestnut trees.” –Audrey Hepburn

I remember Paris from last summer when my heart exploded at the first sight of the Eiffel Tower.

Set an open course for the virgin sea,
‘Cause I’ve got to be free,
Free to face the life that’s ahead of me,
On board, I’m the captain, so climb aboard,
We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore,
And I’ll try, oh Lord I’ll try, to carry on.

I look to the sea,
Reflections in the waves spark my memory,
Some happy, some sad,
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had,
We lived happily forever, so the story goes,
But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold,
But we’ll try the best that we can to carry on.

’cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good!

13 humble sales at my Etsy shop! :) I’m meeting a fellow MISSISSAUGA Etsian this weekend to hand deliver our bartered items plus grab coffee and a snack and get down to some Etsy talk – I’m so excited! I’m so addicted. I’m not even profiting right now – just having too much fun and feeling warm and fuzzy knowing that I’ve put my work out there and there are… beloved patrons.

…but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.” –Queen Elizabeth I

“When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll tell them it was you.”

I am STOKED for a beautiful and eventful sunshiny blue-skied weekend.
