We sat down cross-legged on our living room floor and drew a square around ourselves and said, OK, that's the size it needs to be!

In the case of Augustus John, not only he had a horse-drawn caravan but also screaming kids and 3 wives at the back of the carriage!! I've always wanted a caravan in my garden at the back of the house. It would be a perfect place to decorate with normadic quilts and beautiful laces and also a quiet place to read. I love the wallpaper. It's typical Chelsea wallpaper you would see in Nash's town houses in London with birds of paradise!A Super Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640893790909916004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-21577759309385778552009-04-30T20:39:00.000-07:002009-04-30T20:39:00.000-07:00I absolutely adore reading your blog.
