Maple Circles Of Love
... have been the theme of my day.
i woke up to ben's maple pecan pancakes, and by bedtime, he had taken my spinning wheel and stained it a beautiful maple color. it matches many of the framed textiles in our bedroom, which are done in bird's-eye maple.
i've had the spinning wheel for years. since i was married (and channeling gertrude stein through my hair)...
(for the record, flanny peed all over the grey velvet backdrop belonging to the photographer mere milliseconds after this picture was snapped. it was the mid-nineties and that was how we did things back then.)
now i'm a gay divorcée with a maple-stained spinning wheel! the ashford took the stain beautifully; the grain came up real nice.
