in which I tell you the story of the girl who waited & fell in love...

we are all stories in the end - just make it a good one, eh? - eleven
once upon a time there was a girl who fell in love... 
with the handsomest of the handsome, the most dashing of the dashing, and the last of his kind. the first time she laid eyes upon his docile face, she knew within her heart he was the one. and although he was a bit quirky and ran into quite a bit of trouble {there was a lot of running involved}, he hummed one of the most delicious tunes in the whole world over - a melody no one in the whole entire universe could ever mimic. 
once upon a time there was a girl who waited...
and fell head over heels in love and ran away with someone - one of the very last of his kind - and they've been running ever since.

    1. Thank you, doll! I purchased the dress at a local consignment shop by the seaside. It is a vintage Gunne Sax dress, in case you should like to keep an eye out for the brand. ;) I do a bit of reenacting n' such during the early 1900's era, so it was a perfect find. Have a lovely day, dear. xx
