She’s the girl in two worlds. Outside the glass, but wholeheartedly believing she’s inside the tank. A three foot tall testament that it’s okay to dream. To be mesmerized by where wish you were. She dreams of the day she’ll be able to glide through the water and drift effortlessly with sea turtles. But she gets so lost in her desire to be there, that she doesn’t realize she’s holding her breath. I’ve been there. Holding my breath. Holding out. Holding off the everyday moments. But I loved what Tracey said yesterday when she suggested that being present today doesn’t mean you can’t be filled with dreams for tomorrow.
Sometimes we just need to remember to breathe.
*In celebration of Give-away May, and also the fact that the next shipment will be here any minute (YAY!), we’re giving away an Epiphanie bag of your choice! Don’t forget to check out the new Lola in black! Leave a comment today, and one lucky winner will be chosen by tomorrow! Good luck!

Clara says
This photo captured my attention and my heart. I wish that as we grew to adulthood we could hold on to the belief system we had as small children: the one that had great confidence in the grand possibilities of life. As we age, we’re fortunate if we realize that "progress" means finding ways to get back to that sense of wonderment.
And thanks for the opportunity to win one of the beautiful Epiphanie bags. Wonderfully named!

I love to dream. Yet still, sometimes I forget what its like to be young. There are so many stresses of everyday life… Sometimes I will set all things "adult" aside, and play all day with my kids. In our little land of make believe lots of things get done, we build, sing, wrestle, and create, even though laundry and dinner are put on hold. Life is a beautiful thing we should not take forgranted.
I love the picture, it really takes hold of you. You can almost "see" what she is thinking!
Right now I’m dreaming of a perfect day with Belle…..

Becca says
Thank you for hosting a giveaway. I’m entering for my cousin. I have been saving up for an Epiphanie bag for 6 months and I almost have my amount, but she won’t be able to have enough for a long time. Maybe I will get us the Lola’s in red and black. Since they added the black I haven’t been able to make up my mind on which I want – I always loved the Lola the most, and was excited to have a bag other than black in my closet. But then WHAM, BLACK and it screams to me! The neutrality of it. It can go anywhere and with anything (except for super fancy schmancy parties where you need a clutch). So if I get one of each color, we can trade off. Right?!
Then I will need to get other cousins (I don’t have sisters) in on the party and get the other 2 Epiphanie bags, and we will all be able to switch.
Christinellen says

Kiki says
I have been dreaming of Ginger for a while now. Could this be the universe telling me it’s time to take the plunge and get that GF1 I have been coveting??? I think Ginger would be a great home for that, a few lenses, a point and shoot, geez, even netbook. Indeed, a girl can dream, can’t she?
Jen says

cigi says
Yes, please. Enter me! Thanks. ๐
Becky B says
This is such an adorable picture! That’s the problem with being a grown up… you never stop to watch, play or imagine anymore as there’s always something to do that has your mind distracted. Oh to be a child again… =)

Jenna Rice says
Wowwweeee! Lovely shot!
Valerie says
Love the colors of the photo — they truly draw you in and set off the reflection.
Diane says
I love that too, "Being present today doesn’t mean you can’t be filled with dreams for tomorrow." I’m at an age where most people would think I’m too old to dream of what tomorrow brings or to dream of the future. Yet I still dream. Running a business means straddling both worlds: the very present today and where I’m headed with what I have today. Some things get left behind — just some crumbs — and I bring the best parts with me — for tomorrow.
photogirl says
Have been eyeing the epiphanie bags for awhile now. They’re gorgeous and oh so pragmatic!
