Phil Thomson IPA
An excellent image of allegories, Rosalie !!! The faded, lifeless roses, fond memories of great times wearing the jewellery, and the delights and fantasies of lace create a wonderful old world atmosphere!!

Love your lyrical thoughts Phil!!! Thanks so much for calling by and taking time to comment in depth. Hugs!

G’day Rosalie! Your series, now this work, have transported us back to a more genteel time. Then, there were no electronic gadjets to befuddle our brains – we had to use our hands and minds – no grating and mindless rap or hiphop – we listened to songs we could sing along to, or admired the lilting romantic melodies and mellow voices of singers who could. The world was a safer, warmer place where politeness and good breeding replaced political correctness and social manipulation. Me, nostalgic? You bet! Do I want to escape? Let us away…. :)george
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
:) You’re on !!!
