"My mother taught me to enjoy the little things from a very early age. Especially those made by hand. Together we furnished my doll house with tiny cross-stitched rugs and fringed tea-towels. I often think of my life in terms of tiny vignettes—small, ever-changing arrangements of family, friends and visually pleasing elements that bring me comfort and happiness."
