Baubles Antiques, My Mother’s Shop In the 90s, my mother had an antique shop (Baubles Antiques) in our home that specialized in vintage clothing and jewellery.

I love bed jackets and I love pajama dogs! I used to have two really sweet 1940s bed jackets, which have since gone to clothing heaven. Ever since, I’ve been on the lookout for just the right replacements. I’m still empty-handed, but on the prowl. As for my pajama dog, I’ve had him since I … Continue reading

I’ve always had an interest in Egyptian art history, so I love the fact that I get to wear a bit of it! When King Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in 1922, it started an Egyptian … Continue reading
