Il percorso artistico di Sheila è iniziato in Italia negli anni '60, lavorando al fianco di Franco Zeffirelli nel teatro, nel cinema e nell'opera, un'esperienza che descrive come la sua "formazione" e che le ha aperto gli occhi sul mondo dell'arte e sulla bellezza che la circondava a Roma. Successivamente, ha trascorso due decenni a rivitalizzare la storica casa di profumi Penhaligon's, lanciando nuove fragranze e ridefinendo il mercato dei libri-regalo con antologie uniche e profumate. Ispirata dal suo lavoro a Firenze durante l'alluvione del 1966, Sheila ha compreso il profondo valore del passato e la sua influenza duratura. Oggi, incanala la sua scintilla creativa ed energia nel mondo dei gioielli, creando un'esperienza online del XXI secolo che enfatizza l'ispirazione e la provenienza.
This beautiful keepsake includes marbled endpapers, full-color die-cut illustrations throughout for mounting photographs, a quarter-bound cloth binding with silk ribbon ties, shrink wrapping, and, of course, the Victorian Posy scent. 16 full-color illustrations.
A selection of Christmas carols and rhymes and excerpts from the works of Dylan Thomas, Dickens and Shaw. The text is illustrated with period paintings, including biblical scenes, Father Christmases and skating scenes. The book is scented with Penhaligon's "Winter Garden".
This scented treasury of verse and prose, selected by Sheila Pickles, is perfumed with Penhaligon's floral fragrance Elizabethan Rose. Each piece is richly illustrated with period paintings, including works from the Renaissance and by nineteenth century masters.
This miniature work comprises descriptions of 40 English flowers, explaining the origins and legends behind each one. Included is a selection of poems and prose in which romantic writers have alluded to camellias, lavender, liles and the rose.
With today's renewed interest in alternative medicine and herbal healing, many herbs are being rediscovered and put to use in the treatment of illness, in culinary preparations and as an aid to health and well-being. In this volume, the symbolic meanings that herbs held for the Victorians are explored, and the relevance of herbal remedies to modern-day life is examined.
