Wallpaper!

I wallpapered my house today. What a lot of work! One never thinks it is going to be as time consuming as it ends up being. Jasmyn came over to keep me company while I finished up the upstairs.





Then Jasmyn invited me over to her place to see how she had wallpapered her house. Our houses were designed by the same architect, so it is interesting how we each decorate the same space. Her bedroom is soooo pretty!



I like spending time with Jasmyn. We have a lot in common and a lot to show each other.

Girls Day

I spent today wth Jasmyn Tammas. I called on her at her house and as talked in the sitting room, I commented on the wallpapers and images on her walls. She told me where i could purchase such finery, and we decided that rather than talk about it, we would take the trip out and view it all in person.

We spent a good deal of time sifting through the wallpaper samples and paintings. We met the lovely Miss Chere Graves in the shop who was looking for similar things for her new castle. As we talked of Caledon, she expressed a desire to see our lovely homeland.

We arrived to Caledon and were pleasantly surprised to see Mr. Magellan, my neighbor, in Victoria City.



Upon leaving Mr. Magellan, we moved our party to Silver Rose Designs where we showed Miss Graves the finest of the finery for Ladies' Fashions in Caledon. We did some shopping and Miss Tammas and I even modeled some of our own personal frocks for Miss Graves to see.

I soon began to droop from the long day previous and excused myself from the ladies to bed.

But as it was, I returned home to another letter from Dante. I am glad he wrote to me. I hadn't heard from him in some time and was beginning to worry. He is well and happy and has seen a great deal. I envy him and only wish I could have gone too. I am eagerly awaiting his return. There is nothing like the stories and photographs of a person who's only just returned from an extended expedition. My thoughts are with him as he travels the world.

Thoughful

Tonight I spent most of my time dancing alone at the Dogglounge. Not sure what all my friends were up to tonight. The music and dancing gave me time to think, however, and I've hit on an idea for my next dress. I am going to try to make a Vicorian day dress. Thinking burnt orange and mustard yellow for the template dress. Maybe some decorative braid.



I went home to work on it but got caught up with the piano. I found myself playing all the melancholy tunes. I don't feel quite myself tonight. A cloud has set over my head and i can't get out from under it.



Dante will be back in 4 weeks from today. I look forward to it. It feels like he's been gone for 4 weeks, not the reverse. I miss him a lot. He always cheers me up.

Dancing and dancing and dancing some more

Tonight started out with GenX with Gabi. We had quite the rave going on in Caledon. Radio Riel's newest DJ Rane Mokeev gave us an hour of modern tunes.





Somehow, by the end of the party, I ended up dancing in the middle of all the half-naked kilted men. What proper Caledonian could complain? I was in tartan heaven!



When the party ceased, I went back to the store and finished putting up the last of the vendor cards. The Ribbons Ball Gown is now on display at the store in its full glory.



Shortly thereafter, I met up with Red at the Dogglounge. We danced for an hour or so together until we both had to go to bed.



I am sad that Red no longer comes into Caledon. I know why and I respect him for his decision, but just once I'd love to dance with him at a ball and show him the progress of the store and maybe even have him DJ my store's grand opening party. I am just thankful that I get to spend time with him at all. He is so busy and I am honored that he makes time to fit me into his SL.
