| Introduction | Hello. I am a transplanted native Californian who moved East seven years ago and...who should have known better than to move East...chuckling to myself. I am also the proud author of two books on vintage printed textiles and hope you take a look at my books if you've a chance. If you've any questions about vintage printed textiles I am your gal. In my hours outside a very hectic and stressful work environment, I enjoy photography, traveling near and far, spending time in my herb garden, reading and more reading, scouring near and far for vintage treasures and enjoying the beautiful Virginia countryside. Oh, I am also a die-hard UCLA Bruin fan. I just love UCLA football and basketball. |
