The colours and wintry glitter work so well for the subject matter.

It resurfaced last year when I studied the russian revolution in more depth. I find that period of history so interesting yet desperately sad at the same time. The Winter Palace must have been incredible.

Your words add a sense of anticipation to the page--has The Not (So Small) One inherited your fascination with Anastasia?<br /><br />A side note: to this day, I'm not quite sure whether my mother's middle name was Agnes or Anastasia. She claimed to hate them both. It's probably Agnes, but Anastasia is a possibility because there is some Russian in her background.
