My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.
― Maira Kalman, The Principles of Uncertainty
Ah my dear Tess, thanks for the reminder. I haven't read Maira'a bookk for a while. Time for a trip from the shelf to the desk. Notebook (check), backpack (check), watercolor kit (check)...off to go shopping for the pleated skirt ;)
ReplyDeleteI can see you in that outfit
ReplyDelete....feeling restless?
Restless as a willow in a windstorm...

ReplyDeleteThanks for following. Nice to meet you, Bookish!
DeleteBookish - you have some interesting reading ahead of you in the archives of this blog. There's wine and cheese in the library. Do keep up your strength. Welcome to the party!
Delete"I dreamed a dream in time gone by..." Hey, you still have your hair...the dream lives (sorry, obvious Les Mis reference) :-)
ReplyDeleteMmm... Delightful. But as long as we're dreaming, why stop?
ReplyDeleteA sidewalk cafe in paris, a lush hillside on ireland's coast, a south sea island never before discovered, a long train ride to nowhere.
I could dream a book.

I don't think I've see that image of M. She was fabulously photogenic.
ReplyDeletePoor Marilyn.
ReplyDeletePerchance to dream .... beautiful! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen are you picking up your walking shoes? Coffee stop in Vienna?
Dream big and live bigger :-)
ReplyDeletePerfect. I'm going to steal this for my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteWill now have to read the book! Thanks. I love discovering good books.
ReplyDeleteThis is a favorite photo of Marilyn. Thank you.
Happy Weekend.
I adore Maira Kalman..."In Pursuit of Happiness" is especially delightful...
DeletePerfect shot to go with those words. I wonder who has that skirt now. Really, somebody has it, right?
ReplyDeleteOh I want to think somebody has it...somebody's wearing it right now...
DeleteI would certainly accompany that little meringue on her way!
ReplyDeleteThis may become my new mantra.
