How do you like to spend a rainy day?
I think I'll sleep in a bit. . .
soak in a bubble bath. . .
get dressed up. . .
meet a friend for coffee and a decadent pastry. . .
treat myself to a manicure. . .
do a little shopping. . .
catch a matinee'. . .
take a long nap. . .
get dressed again. . .
for a romantic dinner for two. . .

I have a big list of Maybe Someday's. . .but at the top of my list is: Own a Vintage Clothing Boutique. A Vintage Fashion Atelier, of sorts.Yes, I have this Virtual Boutique and it allows me to indulge in my passion for working with Vintage Clothing. However, if I were able, I would love to have an actual Boutique. In a beautiful old building with lots of character and hard wood floors with lots of antique chandeliers and mirrors. . .something like this:
I love the tall windows~~how fun it would be to do window displays!! I would invest in some beautiful antique dress forms. . .this storefront is home of The Wedding Club in the UK.
I also like this one:
I lost a bit of photo quality when I edited it but you can see the great architecture, and again tall windows! I found this from a site called The Ped Shed, I guess it was in a town they did a feature on.
This one is sweet, too. My husband and I actually walked past this when he was in Washington D.C. on a business trip. We stayed in Alexandria, VA and the entire town was cobblestone streets and old historic buildings~~I had a blast shopping while he was at the seminar!
It was the prettiest shade of pink and my favorite shade of blue. . .wow, I wonder if this was the inspiration for my website colors????
And the inside would look something like this:
boutique owned by Suzanne Prieur
And this is my absolute dream workspace/shop/boutique. . .of course it's in Paris!!!
And this would be the perfect cash register, wouldn't it?
And maybe someday it would become the most fashionable place to shop (of course with Valet Parking!) the place to see and be seen, a place to meet a girlfriend for an afternoon of shopping and then coffee and pastry in the tea room, a place where the sales clerks are immaculately turned out from head to toe and address you as Mrs. So and So, where they carefully wrap each beautiful item you choose in crisp, clean tissue paper, where the doorman holds the door for you and says "Have a Wonderful Day".
A girl has to dream. . .
