Yesterday here was mucky, dark, damp , windy and rainy. A perfect day to just relax. After some morning duties. I was glad to be home. Though spring is coming, I'm still enjoying my candle lit evenings. Most nights, it probably looks like Tangina Barrons is here trying to make contact with the other side to "clean the house". But I just love candles..one of my little pleasures. I must light about between 12 to 20 candles a night. And it neat to see how candle light makes everything look so different.
While relaxing late last night, I noticed for the first time the cool impressions the floral branches make on the ceiling. It almost looked like it was wallpapered.
Doesn't seem to take much to impress me these days. Last night all it took was listening to jazz, a glass or two of pinot noir and watching the shadows dance.
Shadow Dancing... aww, poor Andy. Your evening sounds lovely. I'm so happy, in a way, that you have had this opportunity to come home to yourself... and really sit with yourself. Being centered is a marvelous feeling... luxurious. And that's how your evening strikes me... as luxurious. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteI love my relaxing late evenings...I don't know about luxurious though.....
DeleteThat's a very Victorian look, are you going to begin wearing stays?
ReplyDeleteAs luck would have it...I do still have so stays and corsetery ....
DeleteSounds lovely. Just don't burn down the Casa with all those candles!
ReplyDeleteIf I do...who knows...I may be like a Phoenix rising from the ash.
DeleteNice and calming, from the looks of it.Lovely.
ReplyDeleteAfter a certain hour...its only candlelight here.
Deletethe houseboyz have to light all those candles, then blow them out at bedtime. what else do they blow?
ReplyDeleteMS Moorecock says she is waiting to get a call one night when i go up in flames like Claudia Blazdale at the La Mirage.
DeleteMore like Miss Havisham, I reckon. Jx
Delete@jon - great expectations; I HATED THAT BOOK! we had to read it in high school.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed your evening
ReplyDeletewith all your candlelight.
xoxo :-)

ReplyDeleteMusic, candles and wine? We all deserve it! So good to feel you this relaxed and so into your journey.
And you know I love candles. Now I want some wine.
XOXO
Get yourself a glass and come join me....
DeleteEver thought of spending your day making candles, colour coded to suit your mood, to burn at night?
ReplyDeleteI don't know I'd want all red and black candles? LOL!!
DeleteSounds (and looks) like a beautiful evening. Hope today is a happier day than yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCruella is never far behind......
DeleteI could use a night or two at your place. Those pictures are relaxing........
ReplyDeleteCome ahead....but make sure to bring your cello.
DeleteI love candles, too. The low light is soothing. You write about your candles so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
💋💋💋
DeleteIt looks wonderful. X
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I never noticed it before.
Deletethe fact that you appreciate the dance of shadows makes me think that you have a sensitive soul.
ReplyDeleteI shall never say......but you might be right Xersex
DeleteA soul who manages to appreciate even the little things.
DeleteYour place looks so glamorous, and I love the shadow effects! You have great taste. Seriously great taste.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what effect is get from the shadows if I was smoking pot?
DeleteHe was wild there is the dark, except for candlelight, unpredictable, beautiful, and dangerous. Impossible to resist. A summer storm in full fitted briefs.
ReplyDeleteYou are the one I am lit for. Come with your rod that twists and is a serpent. I am the bush. I am burning I am to be consumed.
License my roving hands, and let them go explore your body,
Before, behind, between, above, below.
Mistress was the kind of guy who loved to stretch out nude under the sheets, eating chocolate, consume a gin, reading books and fucking on rainy afternoons.
keep up that sweet poetry and you'll have the mistress eating out of your hands.
DeleteYes.....who said stop?????????
DeleteI would love some glimpses of your place...looks so inviting Mistress. The candle glow and shadows are most relaxing.
ReplyDeleteOh Parker....thank you dear.
DeleteCandlelight, dry white wine and bubblebaths do the trick for me too when I need to relax and recharge! Throw in some epsom salts and baking soda and any muscle soreness will vanish so you can get a good night's sleep... ; )
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Tundra Bunny. Ohhhhh bubblebaths. Haven't had one in an age.
DeleteThat looks really calming. You're also reminding me I need to get some of those fake candles for the living room and bedroom when I move. As long as I have Torrie around there's no way I can have real ones.
ReplyDeleteI used to burn all the candle around Starrbooty too. She must have been the only cat that didn't disrupt candles flowers and she never got up on counters or furniture.
DeleteThe shadows that flickering candles make can be mesmerizing. It really does make for a relaxing moment.
ReplyDeleteI have to have my candlelit evenings..and i often smug this place too.
DeleteEnjoy life in the slow lane,
ReplyDeleteI may never go back to the fast line.
DeleteOh I long for those sort of days for an excuse to stay in and light candles. etc.
ReplyDeleteI am envious.
I always enjoyed being home. but the pandemic has taught me my home truly is my sanctuary. I enjoy my candlelit evenings.
DeleteMistress....how I have missed your blog! I've read but wasn't much in mood to comment. Thank you for your email...which I finally checked. These pictures are so calming and beautiful.You brightened a many dark day in this most unexpected time. Here's to moving on and to better days my dear.
ReplyDeleteAgnes, you have no idea how you made me day yesterday when I saw your arrival here!!!! And yes, I got your email. I must have been sending to the wrong one. Im glad to hear some of the post perked you up. It's the least I can do. If a post makes one person happy or inspired, I'm happy.
DeleteYes...here's to better days and life!!!!!
Looks like you have a chic flat. Very creative person to see beauty in shadows.
