Love John Derian and the touching story about your grandmother. The piece you created with her clippings is so special.

I love his stores in NYC. One of my must stops every trip

I recently went to his little shop in Provincetown and it was, unsurprisingly, so special.

Wow, I know that vintage store! I used to go there all the time when I too, lived on Harvard Street in Cambridge.

John Derian's turkey is the only Thanksgiving decoration I will every use. For hair: Hairstory. Spendy but effective. Also, that AD profile is seared into my memory. You don't always see people who make products living the full lifestyle of their products. It makes every sold piece feel like sitting next to his genius.

Love your connection to John Derian and your Grandmother, thank you for sharing! ❤️ I grew up decoupaging & love and own many JD pieces. Reading your memories of decoupage made me want to make something soon.
