Longing


Ever since we watched Marie Antoinette a few weeks ago, I can't get this out of my head. After her birthday party, Marie runs out with her friends into the gardens at Versailles at around five in the morning and the lighting is just breathtaking. They run around and lie down in the grass and enjoy nature, waiting for the sun to come up. I want that. I want to experience that.

As I have been a maker of costumes in the past, sewed quite a few already, I wouldn't mind making a couple of outfits for the boy and I, finding a place where you can't see any modern buildings, and pretending we're in the careless aristocratic 18th century France. And a picnic perhaps. I can dream, anyway. Something like this...
