a memoir of etchings and wanderings
Today is one of those days when you have a series of thoughts gushing in I’ve been craving cake – not the flaky, stale kind; but the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth sortI might have dreamt of Sacre Coeur last nightThe first thing I read this morning that Oscar De La Renta was no more and immediately thought of the SATC pink dressI got myself a new hairdo and strutted along a street, … Continue reading “Part Une” →
