Welcome to a week of About posts at Emeline & Annabelle. As we approach the one year mark, we thought we’d find out a little more about what makes our staff special and unique. Join us this Friday to celebrate our first year. xo E & A

Favorite quote:

“If I was concerned about being accepted, I would have been doing Ansel Adams lookalikes, because that was easily accepted. Everything I did was never accepted… but luckily for me, my interest in the subject and my passion of the subject took me to the point that I wasn’t wounded by that, and eventually people came around to me.” Duane Michals

I love: Fabric shopping, having tea at the Tate, Traveling, and Markets
