Some people see a pile of useless junk...I see a former life, a past event, a fleeting thought, a momentary wish...
Sometimes I let my imagination run ahead...and spin a tale...pulling the thread of the story...seeing where it may lead...
Last week I participated in the 7 vignettes challenge on Instagram. Sponsored by Interiors Addict, there's a list of 7 prompts for you to follow and post your photographic inspiration. I had such a grand time chasing down my story that I thought I would share with you here...
Day One - Blush
I can't say exactly what prompted me to pull out these things...most likely it was the large spool of linen thread in a dusty pink color sitting on a shelf that caught my eye...and then the photo on my inspiration board behind my computer screen...it was the start of the tale...
"blush...the color that rises in a young girl's cheeks when an admirer notices her in all her beauty..."
Day 2 - Bloom
"the fresh lilac blooms brightened her outlook that spring had arrived on this first day of April"
"and so she had a thought...an inkling of an idea...perhaps this young man who made her blush...and brought her such lovely blooms...was the one...her face lit up with anticipation..."
Day 4 - Soft
"she felt like she could soar...her heart unfettered...but if she fell, she knew she would have a soft place to land...is this what one calls love..."
Day 5 - Easter
"rebirth...a new awakening...a fresh start...could this be the direction she sought...the path to follow...her heart guides the way...
Day 6 - Weave
"she remembered him hanging around her father's auto shop...never saying much but always tinkering...papa passed away while she was away at nursing school and now he had taken over the shop...their lives had been intertwined at the edges for years...perhaps it was time to strengthen the weave..."
Day 7 - Gold
"tied up with hopes for the future, a home filled with love and a promise of time eternal, the circle of gold on her ring finger signifies, not a closed chapter, but a new beginning..."
Pulling the thread of imagination, you never know what you might find...
