i[ve been reading a book by rachel ashwell

yes, the woman and her now shabby chic 'couture'. i have first encountered her works and preachings ;D in the early 90s, sans the net yet ;D i mean, thru lifestlye zine write-ups. her ideas and influence is a great contribution to the world of design.  i should say i am just one of the many, many of them across the world whom she has shed a light on---celebrating the beauty of imperfection/s, marred, falling a part, patinas, well-worn, used, dents and marks of time, florentines, history... 
home, and comfort...
 and you know the catch? the 'ideas' she ranted about, and visualized on, more than a decade ago--isn't just a simple quick learning of style,  sponging, and being influenced instantly, -i should say--go sit and immerse with her,and experience similarly at least--the path she tread...
a salute to rachel ashwell
