I also adore Vintage and Antique Italian and French Velvet Bedspreads...
As you can plainly see, I really adore Exotic Styles and Colors... they have influenced me perhaps more than anything else in Art, Decorating and Fashion. Drawing me like a Moth to a Flame because I feel most comfortable around Exotic surroundings, it speaks to my Soul and I connect to it at a very deep level.
I have experimented with other Styles and Colors... but I always come back to what is most True to my inherent Nature... it is intrinsic to who I am at my very core of being. And I find that though I can part with most things over time... those items that have an Exotic Style are what I would have the most difficulty letting go of... I might store them away for a time... but I always come back to them in due time and Love them as much as I ever did... or gravitate towards them in what I have yet to acquire.
