Moonbeam Barbie

Moonbeam Barbie

I mentioned in an earlier post that I am a fan of L.M. Montgomery. I read Anne of Green Gables for the first time when I was 8.  The books weren't always easy to find in those days before Amazon and Indigo but I read as many of them as I could.

This quote from Emily's Quest, has haunted me. 
But he told her she looked like "the moonbeam of a blue summer night" in that gown. 

"That gown" was a long-time desire of Emily's, first expressed in Emily Climbs.

 If ever I can buy that one silk dress I know what it is going to be like. Not black or brown or navy blue--sensible, serviceable colours, such as New Moon Murrays always wear--oh, dear, no! It is to be of shot silk, blue in one light, silver in others, like a twilight sky, glimpsed through a frosted window-pane.

Do you think of your clothes that way?  Barbie does.
