Olde Times

In the same way that I like to embrace many of the old traditions I grew up with, I like to use old things in my decorating too.

Part of the appeal is the connection to the past. But the very substance of an object has a greater attraction to me.

I find that old paper, drawings, and colors draw me in closer for a look, and make me want to stay for awhile.

Old china has a heft and character like nothing that exists in the contemporary world.

An old chair can transport the imagination effortlessly to the time of Dickens.

Add a few fragrant greens to the mix, and for a fleeting moment there are a handful of things you want to believe in again.

Thanks so much for coming by!

Here's wishing you a little Vintage in your life this Season.

Ciao! for now!
