Souls don't die


What a special film, if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour and do so immediately, you won't regret it!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind


Re-watched this gem of a film


Does anyone think Clementine's potatoes should have had a slightly bigger role, if not, perhaps a few more seconds on screen? They are brilliant. I have a list in my head of potatoes to make, dragon potato, Oscar Wilde potato, Sailor potato.


And of course the quote itself, which is stunningly sad:



How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;

-Eloisa to Abelard, Alexander Pope.

Old fashioned costume patterns


First off I apologise if these are your images, I saved them many years ago and came across them on a had drive just today and wished to share them. Only had them saved as 'old fashioned costume patterns', aren't they a sight to behold? Isn't it sad how trends and fashion can often leave a dirt heap atop of the beauty and trends of things passed?  


The joy and beauty conveyed in these pictures is enough to fill the heart with contentment! We cannot let these go un-regarded in this giant world of ours




Contact me if you have image sources and I will of course credit you immediately

Long lusted after an anatomically correct heart necklace

Why would you want for any other combination? :)

Some more posted secrets....

Post Secret, my weekly fix

Here are some recent ones that have not left my mind


Sadness


Horror


Mystery


Loneliness


Happiness


Loss of hope

I think sites like Post Secret and Humans of New York show that people do basically want to connect, they just don't know how to many times, we all have our own paths in life to tread and many think their own is more important than the stranger next to them on the bus

All pictures are from here
