"The Sheperdess is based on an image of a young girl tending a flock of sheep on the islands of the Outer Hebrides, pink cheeked and strong limbed. The lonely Sheperdess wanders amongst the heath and tall grass of the islands. Her skirt is warm but she needs to gather it up to keep herself dry. It is an old friend protecting her from the world." [Sheperdess skirt, $180AUD at There is No Place Like Home (special offer: 15% discount & free shipping)].
The Sheperdess would look right at home in photographer Christa Parravani's "Whatever I Was In Life: Spoon River" series [via exquisite aesthete Gwenda Bond], don't you think?
Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - appears on Tuesday and Thursdays at 10am EST.
