"A Sunday Romance"

The Romantic Era encouraged artistic freedom, experimentation, and creativity. It's no wonder that women just can't get enough of that femininity offered up by Rococo embellishments. Rococo design was all about intricate, delicate, filigreed touches of fairy dust dabbled on cornices of most armoires and stamped on the fronts of dressers in a, often ironmongery, applique. The plate in the picture is an example of Rococo but still, it has the heaviness of the Baroque which was the period just prior to the Rococo. This week I'm focused on "all things Jane" which was an auspicious time indeed to delve into the writing of love.
"A Sunday Romance"
Sunday morning I awoke with a feeling of nausea in my stomach. I opened my sand-sparkled eyes only realizing, then, that the sand sparkles are not so joyous to try to see through and not very sparkly either. I rolled over in bed and decided that church would see me next week. I sneezed and wheezed and finally fell back asleep. My prince tiptoed into the bedroom and removed the 'loud-ticking' clock from the wall to give me that much needed rest. I awoke two hours later to find the sun was very energetic and chirpy which may have vexed me sorely except it was delightful. As my prince brewed the tea for my morning pleasure, I sat in a huddle beneath a blanket in the sunshiny living room. Soon my prince handed me a cup of steaming tea in a very pretty mug and all seemed brighter already. But, lo, I was to be yet more blessed as he said, "Ohh, can I make you some oatmeal?"
So was the above picture borne from the generosity and kindness of the prince to his princess.
