verhext — Welcome to a world of tarnished sequins. Bird-women. Fields and fireflies at dusk. Midnight rooftop tea parties. Stories and secrets. Whirling dervish to fiddles and clarinets. Stars through the skeleton limbs of trees. Low fog in the morning over the bend of the river. Fairytales. Treehouses. The smell of crackling pine logs and burnt sugar. Back to the wild.

If I ever finish my tiny cabin in Vermont, the next project will be a gypsy wagon for guests. I like the idea of open sides, with canvas roll down shades or screens, for summer. Magical!
