My great-grandfather's pastels. He was offered a scholarship to study art in Rome. His father disapproved of this, believing that a career making art was unacceptable. My great-grandfather ran away to become a sailor instead.
A pin-cushion made from an old woolen cape sewn for me by my grandmother, and a floral cotton dress she made for herself.
A well-loved old British road atlas. My mother received a Fulbright teaching scholarship and we lived here for one year.
I collect books. This is a French children's songbook with the most delicate and beautiful illustrations.
