ReplyDeleteI love her use of colour - it's very different. It's so colourful without being cartoon-ish... that's not the right word. I'll think on that. Very, very nice... I'll take one of each please!

I found you via Hermes and am in love with Traquair pieces you've featured. That casket is amazing!
