I am an eclectic, eccentric personality brimming with individual style.

My passions are: books and art; all kinds of music; period and foreign films; champagne; collecting; making handmade items; stained-glass; photography; and gardening.

This is a blog of dreams - where places are conjured of flea-market finds, where pieces of the past come together to make art, where snowfall brings serenity and stormy days inspire celebration.  A place to see aesthetic value and emotional beauty in objects, textiles and furniture that is considered to be too old or useless.

Best of all, there is a mix of images that reflect my real life.
