Witch-Wife She is neither pink nor pale, And she never will be all mine; She learned her hands in a fairy-tale, And her mouth on a valentine.

When the items in your home start to look like you ;) 1950's Baby Pink Nightie by "Artemis" as found on eBay Photo done by "BoneJack Designs" on Instagram Do you ever get that second wind, at the end of the night, right before bed where you feel compelled to do something creative? I have a mini photo studio, in my home, for my Etsy page so me and my boyfriend had the inkling to set up a little spotlight and shoot a picture. Normal people things, right? I'm wearing a 1950's bustie...
