little augury: if I may say so

if I may say so

I cannot call to mind a single instance where I have ever been irreverent,

except toward the things which were sacred to other people.

I kept trying to leave my picture! Serves me right!

Vanity vanquished!

Brilliant post .......and even more brilliant your new "frontispiece"!

I have always loved her long neck. (you know who I mean!) (Marella) So , so elegant ...and it fits perfectly with your proportion credo. I agree with that , also. I rarely agree with anything so there!

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.
