Victoria's Intimate Home

In 1992 Victoria published a book entitled "Intimate Home: Creating a Private World."  This is a wonderful book is still relevant today, with it's yards of white lace, romantic settings, and charming vignettes.  The book's mission is to illustrate that in today's world you can still create a haven in your home.  A place where you can savor the charming and simple things.

Does your home have a place for respite?  A place for meditation; however brief, is essential during this most busiest time of the year.

When from our better selves we have too long been parted... how gracious, how benign, is Solitude.  ~William Wordsworth

Anne's beauty-loving eyes lingered on it all, taking everything greedily in; she had looked on so many unlovely places in her life, poor child; but this was as lovely as anything she had ever dreamed.  (Anne admiring Green Gables upon first arriving.) 
~ L.M.Montgomery

Let us have a quite hour... ~Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Victoria continues to feed our souls with their beautiful vignettes.  A wonderful book still to enjoy in a quite time.
