The main character, Jane, says that as a child she wished that whole street fronts would suddenly give way so that she could see what was going on inside those houses and know all of the stories within. I think a lot of us share that feeling, and you captured it with your chair!Textile Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547494144471550828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-43987371905528036612021-02-01T19:41:44.597+00:002021-02-01T19:41:44.597+00:00Thanks, Janine.
