My Doll Haven

Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Pretty Pink Porkers

Of all the animals in the world, my next favourite after dogs and bears, are pigs. They are so intelligent and funny, that today I thought I'd share a few of my favourite little PINK pigs that I have seen on the internet, with a few of my own captions. :)

I hope you enjoyed them, have a happy PINK weekend everyone!

Big hugs,

Monday

For Alasse

The book with the photos I am about to show you has over 200 pages full of inspiration, measures 29x36x2cm and weighs 2.8 kilograms. If you want to own one, you maybe lucky to find one still available here for AU$82.50 with free delivery. It's worth every penny!

On the left page, the Bar Afternoon Ensemble, which was part of Dior's spring-summer 1947 collection, was composed of a silk tussore jacket and a full, black pleated wool crepe skirt. This sunray style of pleating has, once again, become the latest "tendance de la mode".

I find it fascinating how fashion repeats itself, given a little time. I hope you enjoy! :)
