Book Week - Nicky Haslam's Folly de Grandeur


I have a friend who says that you find your clothing style in college and never really change it.  I'm glad to say that while I was once a fan of jean jackets and stirrup pants they have not reappeared in my wardrobe since graduation.  Oh, also no denim mini-skirts, though I did have a doozy back in the day.


But I did love chintz, need chintz, surround myself with chintz and that has never changed.  In or out, thumbs up or down, I always seem to have a little (or a lot) hanging around.


You won't be surprised to know that I adore Nicky Haslam's new book Folly de Grandeur.  It lived in my car for weeks at the ready for any brief or extended idle.


Painted walls, chipped furniture, hand-dotted brackets and needlepoint, needlepoint, needlepoint.  I love every page.  Haslam's own words make it a treasure.
