So here are a few of my Objects of Desire (in no particular order) and I should add that, while it's less than complementary to consider anyone or anything as an "object" I'm using the term synonymously with "focus" as in "focus of my desire":
A great, white shabby chic sofa -- and this one is a beauty!!!
Red licorice and it must be Twizzlers and slightly oily and fresh.
Prehistoric stone adorned with classic symbols and designs.
Peter Sellers: the sexiest of men. I SO wanted to attack him......
The Amalfi Coast, Italy. I've never been but it's on my list! I just love the idea of cities built into rock.
Stone. All sizes and shapes. In my pocket. In my purse. On furniture. Abigail in Hebrew means "father of stone."
John Lennon. He was my favourite Beatle as a girl but I adored him as he reached 40. Lean, hungry-looking.....YUMMY!!!!
The little prehistoric goddess/Earth Mother of Willendorf. I have an exact replica of her by my bed and I kiss her goodnight each & every night.
Zenyatta. Probably one of the greatest American thoroughbreds ever. Like Secretariat, Northern Dancer & Nijinsky, Zenyatta runs on heart.
All that is Zen. The Tao Te Ching. The beauty of:
"To be great is to go on,
To go on is to go far,
To go far is to return."
OMG! This is wonderful. Will you please help me know more about the Earth Mother? And about Zen?
ReplyDeleteI have a present for you that is on your objects of desire list. I will bring it tomorrow. I LOVE YOUR BLOG>
I liked the sofa. Trouble with shabby chic is it ONLY looks chic if it is perfectly arrayed. And pristine, no cat hairs, no blobs from last night's supper, etc. I've tried the look...as in, how does one make an unmade bed look chic? Only if the sheets are 600 count, Egyptian cotton, PURE WHITE, with super coordinated and anyway you'd need a set designer. Mine just looks - er - grubby! rats.
ReplyDeleteI just saw email subscription below...but this only relates to THIS post. You want one for every blog you post. Not comments.
