ᴥ Miss K ᴥ thirty.

Classic Hollywood lover and serial archivist with my camera. Traveling all the time, either in my head or in my car/by plane or by train. Vivien Leigh. Julie Christie. Audrey Hepburn. I ♥ the Beatles. Mark Knopfler. Glen Campbell. & more Classic Country music. Victoriana. 1980's fads. I like butter on cantaloupe. I just thought you should know that.

At the moment, my current little obsessions: Norma Shearer films; John Sloan (American Impressionist artist); new pillowcases; owls; new rugs; and my revived love of classic films.


Just a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
