Dreams or Memories?

good afternoon!

you know the thought occurred to me recently
that what is a dream for some
is a memory for others...

and right at this very moment
somebody's dream is becoming a reality...
and then may just be a memory.

how strange is that?

what set me off on that chain of thoughts?
i was sewing this apron...




the fabric has little globes and cuckoo clocks
and words like 'destination', 'airplane' and 'exploring'
and names of countries...





a bit of gypsy glitter on the pocket,
pleats
and a tea towel loop.





long ties make a grand bow
or are long enough to tie around the front!


does this apron remind you of the travel you've done...
or
the dreams that you have
tucked away in your heart?

dreams of...



exploring the amazon in south america..
{being attacked by piranhas..
sorry, that would be my nightmare!}

or memories...


of safaris and sunsets
in africa?


i've remembered that this is 'my creative space'
&
i'm joining in with 'kootoyoo'!


naturally Carol xox


ps...dreaming...this apron can be yours from my 'madeit' shop...button, top, right hand side!

  2. Isn't travelling great? As well in real as in your dreams, and an apron like that makes you dream about travelling while cooking!

  4. What a delightful apron, love the big bow at the back. I also love that beautiful led light door in the top photo... that really took my eye!
    I have dreams to travel one day, most definitely. I have only ever travelled within Australia, which is fabulous, but there are so many places I'd love to see yet.

  10. Lovely apron! Love the loop for the tea towel, great touch.

    I haven't travelled much (I have seen a lot of Australia, being an army wife) but I have plans to take my Soldier and go on a trip somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere for our tenth wedding anniversary. We had better get saving on that, only two years away!

  11. I'd love that an apron as a skirt and I'd wear it all summer (whenever that may ever roll around again).

    Beautiful, Carol.
