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.
