Ottoline's pearls

 "she bought for me a row of pearls at the sale of the French crown jewels; she liked to feel that I should wear a row of pearls that had been round the neck of Marie Antoinette." -Lady Ottoline Morrell

ott ART

 delightful friend, reader, blogger of  Art Fashion Creation has been thinking about OTT- and that- much to our great pleasure- I Now have OTT ART.
 With a touch of whimsy-much like Ottoline's fashion sense, the portrait of Ottoline is missing her hat's plummage.

Like any peacock, the Lady must have her decoration
at the moment I am feeling rather flighty-as in gossamer butterfly wings.
It is Summer after all.

the possibilities are limitless-& for Autumn I'm thinking leaves, of course, but maybe just maybe- a small ground squirrel & an acorn or 2.
