A New Point of View...


My previous blog was an impromptu snap of the gorgeous Petchitecture coat taken in my garden amongst the Spring blooms.  This image has inspired me to take advantage of the great outdoors, therefore I have photographed Dana’s latest masterpieces in a couple of my favorite natural settings - the Lighthouse grounds on my beautiful Island and my big brother’s bountiful Southern California garden.  I hope you enjoy the new look as much as I do…

Fiona in Southern California wearing a JoeysCoat made from an Antique padded silk Ikat kimono in maroon and gold with green silk tapestry accent and tab.  Embroidered Chinese ribbon trim and belt-loops and a pinstripe vintage Obi belt.  Finished with a wonderful large Bakelite button and mottled Hard Plastic button and buckle.
