What more?
July 30, 2015 {211/365} “A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in --what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.” | « Un petit jardin pour se promener, et l’immensité pour rêver. À ses pieds ce qu’on peut cultiver et cueillir ; sur sa tête ce qu’on peut étudier et méditer ; quelques fleurs sur la terre et toutes les étoiles dans le ciel. » - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
Dressing Downton

"Fashions fade. Style is eternal." - Yves Saint Laurent
I spent a lovely morning visiting the Dressing Downton exhibit at the beautiful Paine Art Center and Gardens in Oshkosh. As a big fan of the PBS series, Downton Abbey, I could easily picture the scenes that featured these impeccable costumes. No photography was allowed, but you can take a virtual tour at dressingdownton.com.

Queen Anne's Lace, summer's regal blossom with her crowned head high above the denizens of the meadow or bent low in benevolent acknowledgement of her kingdom.
