Theme ; Challenge Take A Word / TIME
Does "TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS ?"
It's a myth !!
It is a beautiful verb in theory but in practice it is difficult to handle.
The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”
You give it a place in your life, but it is not healed.
Actually, it means only that you learn to live with grief.

Theme ; Challenge TakeAWord / BLACK & WHITE
(with a tiny touch sepia-color)
I always remember my early school years when I was taught by nuns.
The nuns: the Sisters of Charity Congregation of Carolus-Borremeus,
remained until 1974 in my hometown and I always wonder how sister Helène was taking in her life.
The fun part of this story is that I began a search for the congregation today and found the website so it still excist!! Isn't that remarkable?
I had to leave a comment in their guestbook!
Fingers crossed if they will answer :-)

DANCING CHILDREN
(in Dutch ; "Jong geleerd is oud gedaan")

WHO IS THIS ???
For quite a while now, I collect vintage postcards
with this cute famous child-model.
Isn't she adorable with her curly hair and beautiful eyes ?
At least...I think she is a Girl !
I read somewhere that in those days, boys were often dressed as girls and therefore I'm nut sure about her indentity.
But anyway...why I need your help !
Well, I am desperately looking for her NAME.
It intrigues me to learn more about her
and I asked already a few other postcard collectors.
Can YOU help me ? Or do you now a website were I can find more about vintage children models ? I would be enormous thankful !!!!
Theme ; Challenge Take a Word / BLACKBIRD
The recycled blackbird feather.
Nothing from nature is wasted.
Although you might wonder whether she's so happy
with that bloody feather in her hair.

I promise this will be probably the last dark scene this month :-)

Theme ; Challenge The Three Muses / BOTTLES OR JARS.
It's getting rather creepy, spooky and gothic around here
but in MY mind it's more funny then scary.
Would it be a wacky idea to show this image while telling a horrifying story around the campfire ! I for sure would love to hear YOUR weird version haha.
BOOOHHHH. :-)
