SATIN DOLL

it's another rainy, damp and dewy afternoon in may. the kind of day where the front door sticks to the frame cause it's been painted like a zillion times and the humidity is thick as a brick. i have a serious leak in my wellies as i learned when i tried to navigate a rather murky puddle in the concrete jungle. {right foot in case you were wondering}. only the opera or ballet can summon me to the upper west side. today it was a matinee with mom. something we do twice a year and these afternoons are always a delight.

did i mention i'm moving? like in less than two weeks. the bf and i have hired movers to take our belongings a mere half a block away. most of this is due to heavy vintage furniture and the bf's extensive kicks collection, although he'd probrably argue my wardrobe could use a bit of editing.

foremost on my mind, apart from the stress, is our new bedroom. the new space will have higher ceilings and the rooms are a bit wider. we could go from a queen to a king! i've been sourcing bed frames and bookmarked half a dozen that i can't afford. i've also been somewhat ambivalent about moving out of my exposed brick with fireplace, water closet with skylight and all around charming and cozy east facing lair. but for many reasons this move is necessary and the bf keeps assuring me our new place will be just as cool once we add our personal touch. now for the fun part...

packing!
