A Little Fiction For You

A handsome man waves me over 

and tells me he is having a party on his yacht.

"Would you care to join us?"

Against all the steadiness in me, 

I wanted to say "no thank you'' 

but it is has been such a long hot summer...

I took the plunge and agreed to go by boat out to his yacht.

Besides....He is very distinguished,, an Italian Count.

{how bad could this be?}

Well here on the deck 

we get to talking and it turns out we once knew each other.

Many , many years ago....back then

I was flown over to St. Martin and re-did his casino there { The Maho Reef Club}

while working for F.S.Schumacher.

I remembered this suave gentleman clearly now.

It was all coming back to me.

I had a little crush.

He told me that there really was no party after all.

....and he had planned it that way

and that he had been following my career all these years.

Was I to be flattered or freaked out?

Hell.....I will go with the first thought.

BE FLATTERED I say to myself.

Then after cocktails , wine, and dinner....

it was getting very warm in the room!!!!

Very.

Antonio {his name} wanted to show me the rest of the ship.

So he did.

You could have knocked me over with a feather in the bathroom.

It was soooooo gorgeous.

And he was so smooth. Just as I had remembered him to be.

And finally the room Antonio really wanted to show me!!!

What shall I do?

Whatever shall I do?

Ladies....i need your help on this one!!!! please

Slowly.....

I know it's not much, 

but there has been so much work behind the scenes.

My french chandie is up at least.

The draperies are up 

with the tiny greek key patterned soft valance 

with black & cream gimp along the leading edge.

I love them

It is coming along slowly...

Sept 1st might be the 'soft opening.

I went to the factory today and saw some of the pieces for the showroom...

EXCITING.

and my office is going to be a knockout too.

It is always nice to have a place to work that is stunning.

I am getting ready for tomorrow.....I am still hunting the acrylic legs xxx

Indian Summer Is On It's Way

Relish the last morsels of summer....

Embrace the weeding....

be grateful for the sore knees and back aches.

When I lived in NYC right around mid August I would get a little blue....

because the cool relief of a breeze would wash over me and I would know

summer was coming to it's end.

But then we will have glorious Indian Summer!!!!

And how GLORIOUS the changing red leaves are!

Have a great day.

I will, I am determined to have a great day.
