Photograph # 98!
It is one of life's mysteries and something I can't understand why, but I cannot seem to take a photograph of our dresser that actually seems to capture it's true spirit. "True spirit," I hear you exclaim, "she has definitely lost the plot!" But try as I might, the picture doesn't seem to be of our dresser but an impostor. It looks much smaller in the picture and it loses the magical aura (gosh, listen to me now..auras of dressers!) that seems to surround it.
It could be because the poor thing is used to display broken china as most of the plates have suffered under the hands of Anth (usually 1 glass or plate per week) and have been carefully glued and then put on display. But I wont talk about that...hummm. It has also been a number of colours - it started off that vile,hideous orange pine, then went cream (I think my favourite) then green but in matt, then green but in eggshell,then half a coat of cream, now a slightly different green, in wonderful gloss. It is where I keep my sewing machine, jugs (I have plenty) and other assorted pieces of china. It is lovely to look at and if I am sewing, even in the middle of the day, I will put the lights on and gaze on it awhile. Incidently, no sewing was done in the last 2 days, I just couldn't see past the housework. Grr. And the worst thing about that, is that the house looks no different today, than it did on Thursday! Can you hear me stamping my foot?!
Anyway, I will still keep trying with the photographs and until I get it right you will have to make do with these pictures!
