·
endless panels of plain white, silky drapes – nothing
embossed, nothing self-printed…just moonlight on a weave.
·
rooms filled with pretty, fresh, new stationery. lots of
handmade notebooks and thick spiraled diaries and leather-bound jot-pads and
post-its in pop-colors and beautiful parchments in jewel-tones of raw silk. they
must be everywhere; piled up on study-tables and by the magazine holder and
post-its stuck aplenty on the fridge and whiteboards and sheaves of spotless-white
bond paper wedged right inside, to the back of drawers.
·
chilled bowls of cherry-flavored jelly, fruits and thick,
creamy, sweet custard.
·
music. soft, lilting, music. maybe flute or piano.
·
lots of plants in full bloom – some with wild, purple
leaves.
·
candles, especially candles that are the colour of butter so
that when wicks are lit, the yellow and orange conjugate into some kind of
molten dance.
·
satin bedsheets.
·
cool tiled floors where one can spread large papers and snip
and cut little pictures from magazines and newspapers and do scrapbooking. scrapbooks
are fun things.
·
soft, thin blankets with chintz print in minty blue and
lavender.
·
books
·
large, yet light, cane and wicker and glass closet for books
·
walk-in closets. a separate one for lounge-wear. mostly
consisting of harem pants or slouchy pants made of thin, soft cotton, tiny silk
slip-ons, printed skirts, cotton dresses, kaftans.
·
warm, hot food ready to be eaten.
·
colorful garbage bags, maybe in fuchsia
·
soft waffles
·
kitchen shelves lined with the finest, purest honey.
·
large jugs made of cut-glass and filled with chilled, iced
lemonade.
·
cookie cans filled with sea-shells.
·
bushes with rose-buds. pink, red, yellow, and white.
·
little poetic verses stuck inside the wardrobe – Shelley
near the stack of scarves, Byron with the flowing skirts, Neruda by the
trousers, Tagore by the peasant tops.
·
a handwritten letter from a friend from long ago or from far
away, every day, slipped under the door.
·
postcards from bombay printed onto pillow covers and cushion
covers and cocktail napkins.
·
sky-high heels in kajal-black and blood-red.
·
Perfumes in tiny vials shaped like gypsies and flamenco
dancers
