      She's a former director of Barney's New York. That being said, her US-centric rose-tinted view of UK is a little clichéd, half baked and sometimes tacky - perfect for the new money moving in her general direction. Also, it's so obvious it could be left unsaid, but she married well too... need that fin support for what is essentially a lifestyle hobby

    I like her home but I have to say, for a curated taste inspired by the english countryside not much is made in England [that she's mentioned]. I imagine that for the price point in her store, the profit margins are higher when the craftspeople aren't from her own neck of the woods. But admittedly, I may be mistaken in all this, the video was not long.

      I assume these could be ordered from other countries. My husband and I have a few hanging mushroom decorations from our childhood (1970-1980s) and back then these mushrooms already looked vintage. Perhaps they were made in 1950s in the western part of Ukraine or Baltic republics of the USSR. Most of those glass factories were established about 120 years ago and some of them are still active.

    1,300 Multi-colored lights!
    Your home is so comfy and filled with charm.
    It's a beautiful place! Love the Holly, l always bring a branch or two in for good luck!
    I worked at a high-end department store and bought hundreds of blown glass ornaments mostly when they went on sale. I've estimated that there is over $15,000 at full retail on the tree. Many are by
    Christopher Radko but many we imported directly from Europe
    Germany and Italy primarily.

    Don't like this woman, my mother and I were really badly received in her shop. Never again.
