doomsday_disco Report post Posted November 29, 2025 Not exactly my definition of a happy Christmas, but to each their own. Wild pansies, white honey, and frothy cream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghoulnextdoor Report post Posted Monday at 12:38 AM Roses preserved in amber resin, petals crystallized to honeyed bronze. Estate sale jewelry boxes lined with yellowed velvet, gilt-edged brooches oxidized to a dusky patina. Caramelized corsage, barley sugar twists and horehound drops, unctuous burnt-sugar varnish. Your grandmother's nosegay pressed between the pages of a 1950s etiquette book, ribbons still faintly fragrant with Helene Curtis Spray and the face powder she wore to Wednesday night bridge club, way back when getting dressed up called for gloves and a little hat, even if you were only going three blocks over to Maureen's house for that undrinkable coffee everyone politely finished because that's just how you did.
