voyage.






i've had the past three days off, and it's really been total bliss. i've been reading my magazine with coffee in the morning, snacking on sour dough and cranberry bread, watching movies and day dreaming like crazy. on sunday mom took me to the st. lawrence market where i found an adorable beaded 1950's cardigan [original silk lining in it and everything!], a 1940's slip with a few minor bits to fix, a late '40s/early '50s black clutch purse, a really interesting gold snake necklace [which i might also use as a belt], a little gold ring with a dog on it that looks like piggy, a faux pink pearl bracelet, and a few other little things. i mean i really hit the jack pot.
the market is only on sundays, but i think every time i have a sunday off [and a little extra cash to spare], that's where i'll be. especially come spring and summer.

tonight i downloaded the new album IRM by charlotte gainsbourg. i've posted one song, a cover, she has on the album on facebook. so far i really love the whole thing. it's a bit moody, artsy and feminine. "voyage" is a great song.

will's asked me to go down again in april. hopefully i can get the time off work! i'm already day dreaming about what outfits to wear, since it will be sweltering by then. i almost wish i could wear slips like elizabeth taylor in "cat on a hot tin roof" the entire time.

cuuute i want to see pics of all these great finds. i'm dreading winter since everything gets covered up in bulky jackets.

if i stop being lazy i'll be sure to take some pictures.
i am just trying my best to ignore the rest of winter and look forward to spring.
