There are places I remember…

I think when you visit your family home you discover new and
interesting ways you were influenced at a very young age. I had a
chance to go through some old photographs recently and found telling
pieces to the puzzle of how I became who I am now. I found small
details like tufting on my Grandparents brown seventies sofa that
obviously inspired my choice of tufting on my new sofa as well as my
headboard.

While visiting Michigan I had a chance to go to one of my favourite
places as a child. It is called The TreasureMart. It is in Ann
Arbor Michigan on Detroit Street. It is fabulous beyond belief. It
is a place I would go and discover and buy little trinkets, old
costume jewelery, antiques, and vintage pieces. I would beg my
parents to take me there. It still exists today and doesn’t really
seem that much has changed except that you get a printed receipt now.
