HOMES

Naomi admits to being ‘a bit of a collector’. Her collections are

decorative and nostalgic: a dazzling array of finely crafted

baskets in many colours from places such as Bali, Lombok,

Madagascar and Mauritius; curvaceous perfume flacons and

willowy bud vases in glittering blue and red and yellow glass;

fanciful little snow globes picked up all over the world;

Madonnas of every variety, some made by her father,

while her mother made a number of the ceramics.
