upstairs cottage

My friend told me of a vivid dream she had last night. Though we've never met in person, she told me of a visit to my home. A nice visit, with many friends. There was a huge table where we were gathered. Fred was there and he was serving us one entree after another. I can imagine this magical day clearly.

It got me thinking, it's the dreamlike quality of this old style of photography which has me so captivated and intriged.

i love this post.

what makes it even more fantastical and dreamy for me is that for some reason i always think fred is the duck that trys to come inside for the corn. (i know he's not, but for some reason that's always who i picture when you say fred!)

so there is fred, jemima puddleduck kinda lookin' but masculine, being the perfect host. something like the tea party in alice in wonderland.

hugs,
shelley
