Last week I confessed my soft spot for kitsch, and today I’ve got another confession….
I own a Lady Diana and Prince Charles commemorative plate. It’s true. I salvaged it from my beautiful royal enthusiast grandmother’s (lovingly called Nanna) estate. I couldn’t bare the thought of something that she would have been so proud to own, disappear, and some day become someone else’s treasure.
Have you ever wondered how to serve a cheese platter? I mean, the way the French do? Okay, so my readers in France are probably rolling their eyes right now, but for a lot of us, it’s not so obvious – hey, we’re even known to serve cheese before a meal – gasp!

There’s nothing better than finding something unique and interesting to decorate your home, and with vintage you’ll almost certainly get that. Mix with modern and you’ve got a sure way to add serious coolness into your decor.
I have a soft spot for kitsch; it was how I met my husband. It was in a flea market at the Basilique Saint Sernin in Toulouse, France in 1998. Mutual friends introduced us, and a bunch of us later congregated in a café to chat and showcase our purchases.
My friend is on the hunt for some new dining chairs, and it got me thinking; if money wasn’t an object, what would my ultimate short list be? It was such a tough choice with all of the incredible designs out there but so much fun to go virtual shopping.
