Beauty Handled Enjoyed Bit Bruised Still Visually Inspiring

Vintage fabric, architectural refuse, wood chairs, china, glass, containers, photos frames, metal work, lamps, shells embellish homes' visual universe with color, shape and a sense of human interaction. The background of our lives and human relationships are recorded in the objects we create, handle, use daily. That history charms and warms our homes and Tattered Treasures celebrates the broken pieces for their evocation of people and times past. Full page photos of chips, dings, warped and loved mementos. A book to reminisce by. Enjoy.
