So enjoyed your story. I felt like I was passing by the cafe window and peaked inside a moment in time, with a friend.
Red Rita reminded me of a pen pal assigned to my fourth grade self in 1964. She was also a fourth grader from France. She wrote and mentioned that she had just painted her fingernails red. Of course I was only familiar with more neutral and conservative colors at that young age and living in the south. Red is always the neutral color these days. Smiling.
I love this! I've been saving the last drops of Jo Malone honeysuckle and jasmine perfume, which I wore from high school until my wedding at 28, at which point it was discontinued. Not sure when I'll use the last drops
I can so relate to your quest to find a replacement for Rita! I started wearing a MAC lipstick that was discontinued and I couldn’t find anything similar. I paid way too much for the same lipstick when I found it on ebay. But alas, now I’m running low again and face uncertainty of where my next pink lips will come from

I also had a pen pal and I was told I couldn't wear red -- thank you for connecting with my story and sharing a bit of yours XO

I'm so glad to know I'm not alone! <3
Love this, Ruthie. I will search for any last remaining tubes of Rita for you! And thanks for including Draw Your World at the end 🥰
