I am a full time artist living in the wonderful county of Cornwall. I love vintage almost anything: from fabric to toys to china to books. I am constantly influenced by my collective tat that makes my 'nest' around me and just living here among the many galleries and artists is a real delight to me. I hope you enjoy sharing a little bit of my world in the ramblings on this blog, I look forward to your comments and friendship.
