SUMMER 1940

"as I gaze upon the sea! all the old romantic legends, all my dreams, come back to me."

Longfellow

my father ( hands on hips) and his grandmother Katie Elizabeth Carr Bass, Wrightsville Beach circa 1940

I love this photo. The stance of the little boy to the left with his hands across his chest looks so earnest.

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
