Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Pandora, Victoria & Albert Museum, 1755-1760

I have a small obsession with Pandora Dolls.

Pandora: a miniature fashion doll wearing an exact replica of the latest haute couture, sent to ladies all over Europe so they could order on-trend fashions. This term originated in France as Grande Pandore or Petite Pandore to describe evening and day fashions, respectively.
