Travel and Treasures!

One of the great joys of travelling are the treasures you find along the way. That painting, book or artefact you discover when you turn down an unknown alley way or lose yourself in a market place.

I recently stayed with some friends who shared with me the stories behind some of the beautiful things they’d collected on their travels, where they’d found them and the memories behind those special moments.

Built in 1880, this Welsh farm house table is as beautiful to touch as it is to look at. If only this table could talk. Can you imagine the conversations and laughter this table has known over the past 130 years? And in the home of Cindy and Ron, there’ll be much more to come!

Enjoy your creative life, Jules
