right now
So again… it’s been a while since I’ve last been here. London’s hectic pace has had me twitching around other projects and it takes a while to settle down. Last week I finally got a wonderful new table and it seems I’m more me again (or a tiny bit more at home anyway). I’ve been … Continue reading

Just discovered a beautiful fashion brand and I’m absolutely mesmerized by everything they have… knits, cottons, shoes, purses….
