Mclean,Virginia Dec 1978



I once admired this photograph at an exhibition at the
photographers gallery in London. It's been in my subconscious
for many years. I love the colours of the pumpkins
and the flames, and the fireman checking the pumpkins seemingly
oblivious to the destruction of the house behind.

Favourite German Chairs





I want this chair. What a beauty. One day it will be mine!

Musicfranz



I have been listening to a
lot of great music from the
website play fm . It's an amazing site
dedicated to DJ mixes. You can find
every style here. My favorite Dj's
seem to all come from Vienna. The
scene there is serious. Musicfranz
is one of the best. To check his mixes
and many more simply sign up for
free and sit back and enjoy the internet's
largest free catalog of cutting edge tunes.

The Vienna freestyle radio show 2008-11-08
by Musicfranz is my current play in the shop.
Enjoy.

Fantastic photography from Roland Bello,
interiors, portraits, fashion and more.

Victorian Pine Dresser



I found this gorgeous Scottish dresser
last week. It is completely untouched
with the original keys and beautiful glass
handles. It's so nice to find a piece with
the original paintwork still intact. The
glass is original too , complete with authentic
ripples. It dates from around 1830-1850.
The gold coach lines are faintly visible under
the crackled , cobalt glaze. Unfortunately we
don't have room for it in our flat. I will truly
regret having to sell this. You can buy it here
