But those two colours, that particular pale pink and the dove grey -- ah! I can sense vague vestigial impressions of various fabrics -- damasked curtains? The palette was generally more subdued then, and we were not yet so jaded and in search of novelty. It seems to me that all our senses operated in a world whose dials were not turned so far up!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-38206627425307780762009-01-13T12:10:00.000-05:002009-01-13T12:10:00.000-05:00Actually the very young girls were doing the turba...Actually the very young girls were doing the turban look last year!

I am planning a trip to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms and that would be a great addition.
