She Sells Seashells

In a charming cottage by the sea
I'll dine on vintage china 
Sourced from roadside sales,
Mix sunset-hued cocktails
And dive into suitcases of books.


In an antique armoire 
I'll stash filmy sundresses, soft coverups 
And sweetly sexy retro swimsuits, 
Like Marilyn might wear.



On rainy days I'll paint the walls 
In abstract pastels
And arrange pretty vignettes 
Of turquoise and persimmon.


And every morning I'll awake to this:



This Style Story is part of 
THE SANDCASTLE PROJECT: Dreaming Of Creating An Escape By The Sea
