About Me
- La Dolfina
- I am a passionate treasure huntress addicted to "the thrill of the hunt." I pride myself on finding unique items and have spent a lifetime collecting unusual and interesting "treasures" which I have used in decorating our home. I shop with an eye for design and look for pieces that I like to call the "jewelry" of the room. Those pieces that have been around accumulating energy thereby bringing life into a space by telling its story or evoking a memory. The allure is found in the details of its journey... condition, provenance and patina. Our collected "treasures" tell the story of who we are. Billy Baldwin said it best, "Decorating is never successful unless it is personal." My treasures are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop and on my companion blog, Shop La Dolfina. The links can be accessed from my sidebar.

Great pic of Marilyn! Thank you for the hugs! It's not too bad being home! I'm curled up with a blanket and my Ipad so I can't complain. I will be wishing for some turkey later, I'm sure! So happy your baby is home!
Have a wonderful turkey filled day!
xoxo
