That's me in the photo, reclining on a mossy stone outcrop, binoculars at the ready to spot the next fabulous set of vintage china. Do you like my wading boots? You can't imagine the contortions I go through to get them off. Like Ross's leather pants. 

I am bedecked in my outback gear because I'm on the hunt. What with all the graduations, weddings, and stuff, the shop has gone a little bare. Time to restock the shelves. I've spent the past couple of days in search of the unusual and the inspirational. See you back here next week with some fresh safari-inspired collections and a blog post with wedding pics too! 

(Actually, this image is of fashion photographer Frances McLaughlin Gill, whom I've written about before. The picture was taken by her photographer husband, Leslie. Frances and Leslie. Isn't it interesting when either spouse could "wear the pants", name-wise. Apologies to Ms. Gill for appropriating her image.)
