My Beautiful Fortress in Italy.

Thanks for stopping by. This space is devoted to my life in the Italian countryside. In the furthest northern part of Tuscany. A region known as Lunigiana. I am a photo/prop stylist and author.

What is happening this week: Cameras and my angels.

I have been concentrating on preparing to move this week. I have been packing and purging. Again, I am overwhelmed by the tremendous gesture of kindness from my girlfriends, with whom I have worked for many years as a photo stylist. Frank had a vast photography equipment collection, and I had no idea what to do with it. But my good girlfriends, top photographers, stepped in to help. Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn and Emily Followill sorted all the equipment and sorted through tons of technical pieces. So many have asked me how to help. These friends figured it out. They took everything to repurpose and donate. By the afternoon, Frank’s equipment was sorted and gone. Emily brought lunch, and we ate and reminisced about the many fun photoshoot projects we had worked on over the years. It was food for the soul for me. Deborah photographed my house, which will be on the market next week. I can’t describe how grateful I am for the heartfelt kindness these friends have shown me. Feeling the love has been so healing for me and my family. Thank you to these angels. Your kindness has been so overwhelming. I love you both.
