I chose this week's post because I am in the midst of moving. I wanted something that was fresh and new, to reflect the wonder and possibilities... the creativity awakened by change.

A new beginning acts as a muse that inspires me to take chances, to be playful and to have a new point of view. As I unpack my wardrobe I see it as a brand new trunk of costumes.

A buttery yellow evening gown and velvet chair...I am enchanted.

A white cloud of taffeta sweeping across a sea of fur pelts ~ this must be heaven.
