  1. Love that quote by Vita. I have always known a lot about her life, due to her connection to Virginia Woolf, but in recent years I have gotten to know her writing, and really enjoyed it. Especially "All Passion Spent." I frequently stumble upon quotes by her filled with wisdom and originality. That poster is a beauty also.

    1. I've read a little or her writing, All Passion Spent. I have read several books about her-Knole-Sissinghurst. I love the period-as you do. pgt

  2. Admire the way you connect the dots between diciplines.

    I love Vita Sackville West; both her writings and the garden she created at Sisinghurst with her husband Harold Nicholson.

    1. Sandra, that's what I enjoy and the garden at Sissinghurst- I imagine living in that all white garden of flowers-then here comes a purple something or other to confuse yet-amuse me. pgt
