Collecting: Dreams of pretty things


Ever since I watched Iris starring Judi Dench and Kate Winslet I have fallen in love with this sleek beauty. No, it isn't a film about a pen. It's a film about Alzheimer's disease (such a tragic illness) but there was this scene in the movie - Iris is writing madly in her study with a fountain pen. The image is forever seared into that part of my brain which fancies pretty little things.


I am saving my pennies for her and I will call her Iris when I can bring her home. Iris and I will write many stories that make us happy - in our yellow study tucked in a corner of the basement.
