Before even entering his house I was standing in his garden and could smell the scent, but not from …

Postcards from Vogue

1 Comment / Cary's Blog / By Cary

To say I love stationery would be an understatement.  My office is filled with hundreds of lovely notebooks that someday I will allow myself to actually write in rather than just admire!
