Delusions of Grandeur

"They say that Hope is happiness---
But genuine Love must prize the past;
And Memr'y wakes the thoughts that bless:
They rose the first - they set the last."
                     ~George Gordon, Lord Byron

    I found the most beautiful blog not long ago and have been waiting to share it with you. It is so fantastic! It is called Delusions of Grandeur and showcases one of the most incredible collections of antique and vintage pieces that I have seen. There is a decidedly French and European atmosphere to this lovely lady's home and each post is more spectacular than the last. I chose just a few of my most favorite photos to wet your appetite before you go and visit her.  I absolutely LOVE the desk in the first picture! Have fun! (P.S. I have also included a little drawing of mine that I thought went well with these pretty pictures)

    Gorgeous and what a fabulous illustration. You should sell prints of your work on Etsy :)

    Beautiful blog, beautiful art. You should not only seriously consider opening an Etsy store, but fashion design as well. Your style is most alluring.
