I started to add to my stash but the sybarite image of myself created such self-loathing that I donated that money to a charity instead.

Paragraphs seem to be my limit. Perhaps I could enter the Bulwer-Lytton contest of bad writing.

I just finished a lovely quilt of taffeta. While it looks quite nice, it makes an awful birring sound on the bed whenever anyone moves.

i think silk sheets make a sybaritic birr when i move sinuously and sensuously across my flower strewn bed. i love the feel of a plethora of silk and orchids and fine human male flesh on mine. don't you? mmmmm . i do so hope someone put out the do not disturb sign......

I found a great deal today 50% off on FQs the only remora I had from cleaning out the shelves was my lack of cash, but I had a great time admiring all the fabric even the ones with the Echeneidiae print.
