This is fascinating, thank you. I am sure you are right that if she had been part of the Bloomsbury group she'd be much more known. But she's all the more impressive for doing her own thing.

What a great story! Fancy, self taught and a husband who made her designs for their house - how special is that! Sad the marriage ended but how wonderful that you found her and could share with us all what a clever designer she was and with a uniqueness for the times she lived in.

Oh, how I would love a dressing table and cocktail cabinet from her range. Super stylish. Thank you Lizzie for featuring her - I'd not heard her name before but will find put more now. How sad that she stopped work so abruptly.
