Birth of a Blog

I grew up in a museum. At least, that is what relatives and friends used to say about my family’s home. The house was full of fabulous interesting items, amassed through the years. Truly it was a magical visual atmosphere, which allowed for the viewer’s imagination to bubble forth. Thus was nurtured my passion for collecting—holding on to heirlooms and scouring markets of all sorts for whatever held my fancy at the time.

I'm here to share with you those treasures and trinkets, as well as others I come across in my daily travels....or maybe just ruminations, information, observations, or whatever else strikes my fancy.
