Last night's dream

Wandering through a humble district of antique shops looking for a special one that carried boutique items from my favorite indie designer. I had seen her jewelry pieces there the last time but hesitated. Now after dreaming of them I felt I truly wanted to purchase several.

In addition the boutique section of this antique mall looked like a Walgreens. This favorite designer came out with a makeup line called October, and every piece of it I tried was exquisite. Goth-themed like all of her work, the cheek color left silvery sheen and the ruddy lipstick was called "Savage Garden." All so vivid, I remember each detail.

In this antique shop I had purchased an old painting decorated with fragile pearls: one had crumbled when I touched it. But on this second visit I found an identical painting hanging, with the pearls, but it was only half-finished.

Studying with Dolls

In the afternoons, I usually take my laptop or a book to the bed and study, and a doll for company. Gertrude is sitting on my bed desk. I got her in 2015 from the Korean doll company Dollmore. She's a "Flocke" sculpt. Willow is sitting with my headphones. She's made by the Chinese company Angel of Dream. I got her in 2013. She's a "Qing" sculpt.
