the neck......I already wrote in! I think it is the neck! The noses are just as exquisite! It is a tie! The noses..the necks...

Here is what it really is?? ELEGANCE!

All beautiful women. They look like extra long stemmed roses with those beautiful, elegant, long necks.
The quotes by Henry James say it all.

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.
