O.K., I admit it - I splurged on myself this holiday and bought myself an antique mannequin. Of course she is from France, and I have named her Minnette. I chose this name from many French names because of her minute waist. Can you believe that women used to be that tiny! Anyway, as I have posted before, my childhood was less than perfect - and I really never had much of a chance to play the things little girls play; i.e. DRESS-UP. So, I decided with this the new year I was going to embark on things I have not done - thus - MINNETTE! I change her outfits often with whatever fancies my spirit for that day. Although it is not me wearing the outfits, it certainly allows me to express an artistic side of myself. You might ask, where do I have her displayed? You guessed it - right smack dab in my living room in all her splendor!! She makes me smile - every single day. Isn't that what life is all about? Have a wonderful day, dear...
