"When Elsie de Wolfe invented the vocation of interior decorator in 1905, she informed her friends and potential clients of the fact by sending out cards engraved with her name and address, and a discreet announcement of her service". This is not 1905, consider this my calling card.
haha -you know that 'ferocious' dog is probably a yorkshire terrier or something equally as harmless and adorable!
ReplyDeleteVery Georgetown!
ReplyDeleteScott, I am honored! And I love all those gates you found on your ramblings...how lucky that you get to see them on your daily perambulations. Thank you for all the incredibly kind words (I am a big "Mrs Dalloway" fan, btw...)
ReplyDeleteI love the first and fourth gates, especially -- surrounded by aged brick walls, exuberant greenery and hinting as to the secret gardens that lie beyond... xx
A lovely post-I never tire of walking around Georgetown and seeing the lovely homes, gardens, and gates. I think I mentioned to Stefan that there is a book on the gates of Georgetown.
ReplyDeletea dear friend has a sign, "regarde, chien lunatique" and I love it.
ReplyDeleteHer door mat, in sisal, says "Go Away" but to know her is to love her and entre! her door is always open.
Fabulous doors.

Lovely gateways and Georgetown is always such a visual treat. I think Mrs. Dalloway in Washington would make an interesting story.
