- the lying of a queen-sized sheet on the living room floor (the only place in this apartment there is space for such an endeavor).
- the opening of three large-ish bags of white 'bits' of fabrics/vintage pieces/doilies etc. and tossing the pieces in the general direction of the floored sheet

ReplyDeletePretty photograph MA!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if you invented the Grand Plan or were inspired by someone else's GP? No matter, we are all eager to see what you have come up with!

Such great clothing, they are snippets of times past but always amaze me how smart theyd be for their photos.
ReplyDeleteA great shame smiles weren't always evident mind you - many of my folks sat rigid and dour back then too!
