as I am often told, I can get carried away- do you?
shouldn't we all?
isn't that what inspiration is all about? being enthusiastic about a single perfect rose- an slightly imperfect nose?
this particular photograph of Evelyn Lauder is one I've held on to for some years.
Why?
What could be more-
Simple,
Elegant,
Confident.
A tiny silk check jacket
A smile.
All radiating confidence, how perfect!
&
how simply perfect.
It must be the check.

I like when the ordinary can be viewed and seen from a new perspective. That's one good definition of art, isn't it?
ReplyDelete& she has a wonderful husband:)
ReplyDeleteHow can you make broccoli look so stunning, impressive!!!
Yes & yes. I love this photograph. Have not seen it before...the broccoli-on-a-tray is terrific. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes we all should most definitely get carried away!! Passion is what makes life (and anything else) worthwhile!! I could' t agree with you more about every aspect of this charming shot!! Simple, elegant, confident is the name of the game!!
ReplyDeleteI just bought something cotton, checked and lavender at Sage Farm Antiques in Rye, New Hampshire. Of course, I thought of you! Well, how perfect is that tray of broccoli. Love!
ReplyDeleteMark, I agree, she is quite the patron too, as is her husband.
ReplyDeleteKristin H. kudos to that simple tray of broc.& the little stalks tied with raffia. I had an email that said just what you do-and that she is truly elegant and gracious.
Giulia- I wish I had dated it I do know it was T & C and long before I envisioned a blog. The broc is so simple it is just too good to be true. I need to remember that.
ReplyDeleteQ. Oh yes to getting carried away, & often!
Barbara, how could lavender and check and cotton be nothing short of perfect to my eye.
