THOSE SUMMER NIGHTS { inspiration }

Hi Everyone!
Just a quick post today. I saw the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are over the weekend.While I'm mildly interested...there's a bigger part of me doesn't want to see it. Even if they do have a large part of the trailer devoted to Maurice Sendak Himself calming me down and trying to convince me It Is Okay With Him.

I have my own ideas about the book, and so I'm not sure putting specifics to what I heretofore had been busy IMAGINING is such a good idea. I know...I know...I'm always so contrary. But I'm sick of things from my childhood getting bought and sold back to me. Frankly.

This post is, I guess, about nighttime...and the stillness and starry-ness and wildness of the countryside which I miss a great deal. Night used to seem different. Whether it was that I was younger, that crickets were louder, or simply that there wasn't as much light and noise in the world...I don't  know. Anyway, I'm heading up to the lake this coming weekend...and I am looking forward to those beautiful, cool nights that signal the coming of fall...while it's a melancholy time, it's also a time of richness, depth, mystery, harvest and adventure.

My goodness, Susy. This collection is just magic.

I totally agree with you, by the way. Some childhood imaginings are too precious to change.

The necklace and tiaras are simply stunning.

Wonderful post, Susy. Perfectly said. I know exactly what you mean about the nighttime changing. I think part of it is living in the city for me. Well, suburbia. Beautiful collection, I love it!

Put so well, as usual....I am not keen on having my childhood packaged and sold back to me either.....but, more than that...I adore the imagery above and those tiaras? Crazy good....

I know...part of me is SO curious...and part of me thinks "Didn't Max teach me to escape using my imagination??"

Thank you!

When I was upstate this weekend, a very near-to-full moon came up...I thought back about these colors and shapes...twillight!
