Dressed in Pearls

Lalie this is for you!

I'm still cleaning.  While I was digging out my studio, I discovered this string of old costume jewelry pearls of my mother's, so I decided to wear them while I cleaned.  I need a pretty retro dress and some lovely pumps.  I would do it too.

While cleaning out all of 2009's dirt and leftovers, I've been contemplating the new year and what I want from it.  It's been very meditative.  I'll talk more about all that later.  Right now I'm heading out in the snow with DH, to go dig through the dungeon used book room at Sam Weller's.  It's a wonderful place, with fantastic old books.  I only go once or twice a year because I always get light headed and woozy down in that room.  Don't know if it's ghosts or dust!  I'll let you know what I find.
