I love fountain pens but not as much as a friend of mine who proudly displays his favourites on his desk. He has a special relationship with each of his beautiful pens and as I find out from his expert description these three beauties together are more than 200 years old! They are all Art Deco pens, two were made in the UK by Conway Stewart and Valentine Pen and the third one by the American penmaker Majestic some 100 years ago. He said this is very important information to mention as the UK companies were famous manufacturers but unfortunately, […]

The story of the beautiful bridal headpiece I saw in an antique shop’s window yesterday kept me curious all day today. To whom might it have belong and when I wondered!

I told him I was fascinated by this headpiece in the frame and wondered if there was anything written on the back. “There is,” he said. I got excited […]

Exhausted I am walking home tonight. It’s dark and all I can think of is crashing in my lovely armchair at home. As I pass by a small shop, my eyes catch sight of something unusual. I keep walking but something inside makes me walk back, it must be worth it. It is a small antique shop on my street and in the shopping window a beautiful frame of precious memories. When I realize what it is, it makes me feel like being in a Jane Austen novel…. A beautiful vintage floral headpiece of a bride, wrapped in her veil […]

A special lady I have known for many years. Ica néni is a wonderful painter with a big heart and a large spirit. The other day I sat in awe listening to the many adventures of her life. Living through Communism in Hungary as a person of deep faith, traveling the world and drawing portraits of people in the streets of many cities, … and her most recent success. Among some 130 other painters one of her works was also selected in Italy for an international exhibit titled Artists Without Borders. Her paintings always convey warmth, beauty and love, reflecting […]

“It behooves us all to be lovers of truth. Let us seek her in every season and in every country, being careful never to attach ourselves to personalities. Let us see the light wherever it shines, and may we be enabled to recognize the light of truth no matter where it may arise. Let us inhale the perfume of the rose from the midst of thorns which surround it; let us drink the running water from every pure spring.” – ‘Abdu’l-Baha
