.the ridiculous bread-baker.

yesterday i decided to make some bread. so, i put an apron on and hopped to it.

i think the most ridiculous things when making bread.

i thought of how my toes sort of looked like a heart in this picture (but only if you wanted to see them that way). i thought of how it was terribly hot out, but i wanted to wear my new tan pea-coat anyways. i thought of  how the world is round (which isn’t that ridiculous…). i thought-or rather, wondered-of why in the world someone would put bows on aprons. and i thought up this:

———————————————————————————————–

“he was devilishly handsome,” the pretty girl said. the boy scowled. “don’t say ‘devilishly handsome’ Margaret. it’s very unladylike. say ‘dashing’ or ‘charming’.” Margaret sighed. “fine then Oliver. he was rather dashing.” but Oliver still looked unhappy. in fact, he seemed quite jealous….

————————————————————————————————

O the conversations i make up in my head are sometimes silly beyond words. but i love them anyways. which is most likely why i make them up in the first place. (especially while making bread).

today i went flutterby{butterfly} hunting with Mr.Dante. he taught me a few things.

{the lows of flutterby hunting}:

1. if you’re a girl, you do not get the red net. you get the purple one.

2. you realize that you’re actually very short.

3. the odds of catching a flutterby are very slim.

4. the chances of spilling sugar/water mixture on your pants is very likely.

{the perks-or rather, highs-of flutterby hunting}:

1. it will give you such joy to sit under the sun.

2. you practically get to stare at flowers forever.

3. if you do catch a flutterby, you feel on top of the world (even when it escapes…)

4. people think you’re a.ma.z.i.n.g.

5. you get to run around with a net for goodness’ sake….

Mr.Dante teaches me some pretty dandy things.

so….in short….everyone should make hearts with their toes, find yourself a flutterby net, and go make bread while wearing aprons with bows (unless you’re a gentleman of course. then you could just roll your shirt-sleeves up instead, or something along those lines.)

meet me here.


i'm Bella.
i love clotheslines, writing, humor, the colour cornflower blue, ballet, baking bread, and freckles.
i collect red lipstick, bowties+neckties, vinyl records, and classic books.
i have J.Crew rainboots, too many {little black dresses}, a good hankering for italiano food everyday, and such a want to go see the opera.
i think boys with their shirtsleeves rolled up are better, Charles Dickens was amazing,vintage is the best, goodwill is the way to go, Church makes everyone hungry, and life is about swing dancing.

that's me in a nutshell.

today.yesterday.tomorrow.
