Scarlet`s Wedding Scarlet was French. She had shiney, straight, brunette hair, a sly smile, and those fabulous cheekbones from saying, "Merci" to all her fans, who followed her sweet, sultry performances.
Ah... the life of a Chantuesse.
Of course her songs were mostly of loves lost...and she worried that since she'd finally found the man who truly "saw" her, and was about to be carried off on the back of his black steed, wearing her sleek satin gown, that she might lose the emotions behind those songs that had been her life. She worried and worried, until finally she thought, "Which is the worst of these agonies...to have that "something is missing" feeling or to lose her great understanding of what it is to be "blue"? She said "OK...I will". Although it looked like tapastry, in fact her exquisite purse was made of a durable acrylic resin. The elegantly beaded strap was detachable so that she carried it as a clutch when she dined...yet it was long enough to slip over her shoulder and neck when she was on the run, or on the back of a running horse. It was wide enough to carry her full sized black pencil...weaponry for a songwriter...ever prepared for the moment when it hit, and she dropped everything to scrawl the idea down. Room enough for her cel phone, lipstick, and so beautiful, she didn't really even need a necklace.

Magnetic snap closure.

Measures 10" Wide x 4" Tall x
2" Deep
I Belong I was standing on a ladder, washing my window when he walked into Studio Nouveau.
His silver hair was pony-tailed back. He wore Ray Bans...inside the store! Of course one cannot help but wonder if the guy was practicing mystery...perhaps he had a hangover? About a half hour latter, he came out. I was already enchanted...and still am!

His eyes are a soft brown that
has seen a lot, and synthesized that lot into an arsenal of fabulous stories I apparently
have a deficit of.

We spoke of everything from hunting a boar with rifle vs. bow and arrow, to a paper he wrote as a youth on Spinster English, to the lack of bolo-ties in Texas. I even taught him the fine art of eating an exotic chocolate bar. He seemed to like that!

Now, I can't get his voice out of my head...nor John Denver's "I belong...in West Virginia..." Indeed, that is where this anomaly in these parts originated. And so I count the minutes when I will be blessed by another visit from James.

Made in Italy, of Antique brass, this horse clock is something you might see in West Virginia. With its stallion atop a mountain...surly in Appalachia, what a great way to hold the time.

A quartz movement frees you from having to wind it.
The batteries are, of course, replaceable.

Approximately 14-3/4" x 5" x 12-1/5" tall.
