Da Vinci Dress by Shabby Apple  

from Indy's blog,
 The Fabulosity Factor,
in  this giveaway.


...they all caught and held in the moment.
All their hopes and their wishes
 launched on fragile boats,

lit on fire and shining like stars
in an upside downside sky. 

Stars floating on the water.
Just for a moment,
a moment longer.
Here.
And then gone...

...Ellie doesn't look like one of those perfect little princesses,
she looks slightly possessed.
She's wearing a pink tutu and bright yellow tights
and her red Dorothy shoes...

...And a fluffy white sweater
and crooked homemade angel wings
 and long white gloves



and a striped ski hat
with a long pointy top
and a pom-pom.
It's a photo to make you laugh...

...cookies and toast
and honey and molasses
are not really going to make things right.
But they're all we've got...


...That's all anybody's got
when you get right down to it.
Some people not as much,
some people lots more.
But this is what is right in front of her,
this is what she's got right now...

...."A climate of expectation
fosters the possibility, 
even the near certainty of achievement. 
If I believe in you,
 and communicate that to you, 
you will find things in yourself you never knew were there."... passages from book Alice Bliss by Laura Harrington
