I like the world depicted in Victoria Throne's photo. It speaks of the past, via the faded needlepoint (or whatever that is), the chipped gilding, and the worn parquet. And yet at the same time it is sunny and still seems livable and attractive.

ReplyDeleteAnd Edith was completely correct.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.
