Morning, noon and night
Three random things I learned, or remembered, todayArchive for October, 2008
My linen cupboard
NOON
Everyone has their weakness.
Everyone has something they have always wanted.
To many, my yearning will seem strange.
Very strange.
A linen cupboard – full of vintage linen and lace all beautifully laundered.
Now why have I wanted this for longer than I can remember? It surely has to be because I would love my life to be organised, beautiful, clean, tidy and cared for. Never in my wildest dreams will I ever achieve this, so the linen cupboard is a kind of symbolism. Reminding me of my deficiencies but also hope in a strange way.
Do you know what?
I have just indulged myself in this fantasy and ordered a beautiful linen cupboard from France.
It’s modern but looks old.
It’ll take three months to make.
This is an example of pure, expensive, self – indulgence.
But for me, worth every penny.
I can’t wait.
