Monica came by this week and asked for help making a french press snuggly using her scraps from the quilts I am teaching her to make.

I only had my cell phone with me, and I had to ask
her if I could take her picture.
She lives in this building, I guess, and came down in the
dowdiest clothes and frumpy hat to have a smoke...
But with the most PERFECT make up on.
She was no spring chicken, and had the most beautiful face.
The evening light, her pose, her cigarette, I thought she looked like a
40's movie star by way of the thrift store.
(I love thrift stores, by the way.)
When I asked if I could take her picture she said,
Why yes, DAAHHHLING, Do I look Mahhhvelous?
(really she did, I almost fell over)
I almost sprinted back to my apartment to get my camera.
But thought better of it.
The moment was so perfect, I couldn't ask for more.
And just for fun, see this blog...
great photo inspiration...
Love your pics! Sometime it is able to stop a perfect moment...and ,of course, I like so much the police horses of NY. ;-)

She almost looks like Gloria Swanson reincarnated. Nice what we see when we look past the shell.
ReplyDeleteHope B is feeling better.

I love the pix, you did a great job of showing us your week in pix. She does look like a movie queen...
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures. Goes to show ya never know when a photo opp. will pop up.
ReplyDeletethat cafe press snuggly is so cute. I just know that I'd dribble coffee all down the front of it the first time I used it.
ReplyDeleteA touch of color makes everything come to life. I love that you SEE and then think its worthy of capturing. That's a true artist's eye. Love the cozy too.
