The Daffodil Girl
I took these photos a couple of weeks ago. I got this dress last summer in Paris at free p store, a crazy vintage shop in the Marais district (I think). The shop is quite small but totally crammed with vintage, all the dresses were about 20 euros and there was a bargain 3 euro box too. When I got there a guy was just filling up the dress rack with piles of dresses, and I found this one. It's handmade, and although I wouldn't normally wear yellow, I couldn't resit the sweet pattern of roses, with tiny ladybirds and little labels, written in french. I wanted to take some photos wearing it near some daffodils, and I happened to drive past this churchyard full of them, and also those strange leafless trees. A perfect location.

Fell asleep beneath the flowers...
Just a hint of summer in the air today. Don't you just love Spring flowers? Right now the whole house smells like Hyacinth's. According to my language of flowers book, a daffodil means regard. Also a dandelion means rustic oracle. I don't know why I didn't look it up sooner. Also I brought a new book, I've been wanting to read some more poetry lately, so here's my starting piece. Faber and Faber have the loveliest covers.
