the reading room/cocoon



a safe haven.since andy moved out a year ago,i have turned
this spare room into a place for reading,napping,thinking,crying
& dreaming.
and on those nights (all to often) when the hot flash rules and
my dh is breathing.....to loudly,i can slip in here,throw open the window
at will and toss and turn to my hearts content.nice.

i had to have these when i spotted them in the pottery barn catalog.
the possibilities are limitless.fun,no?!

denise, thanks for your words of encouragement! and, i loved the year of magical thinking - read it before my own time of great loss - a fortuitous read that was great solace in later months.
take care. xo

Denise-I could easily just live in that room!! I had to enlarge the photo of the stack of books-looks like I own most of them but I am intrigued by the one titled Paper Details...what is that??Is it something I NEED to have?
