In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era.

In which we say Welcome to the Month of October!

Hello everyone! Good morning and happy Saturday! How are you today? I hope you are doing fine, and everything is okay! So nice to be at the beginning of a new month! How is the weather? Feeling like Fall already, still hot as summer? As for me, it is ever weird, with some very hot moments, and some of more rain, I supposed that's to be expected. Unfortunately we are out of coffee, mom really need to do the groceries, because everything is missing here at home! At least the sugar is in order, so are the coffee pods for the coffee machine. I do prefer to brew my own coffee, but well, anyway.


I just love this scene of the bear swimming, even if he is surrounded by jellyfishes and I hate those! Swim Swim! It is a very nice illustration and really makes me wanna draw! I wish I could draw here at my place, but for that I'd need a new desk, one that hasn't arrived yet, one that I dream about for so long now, since this May! I find myself without much writing inspiration at the moment, so this image really helps me write a post when I really wish to do so! I should start working on the gift cards for the era of seasons, new months, halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving! Hopefully it will be wonderful! What a blessing to have you here, reader of this post, and I wish you the best! Happy weekend! Have a wonderful Saturday! Hopefully I'll see you again real soon! And hopefully I'll maybe do a stream today? It all depends in if my chair will allow such thing, as you all know, my chair is not the most comfortable one... Anyway, much love everyone! See you real soon!
