Angela Cummings Quotations

My daughter is a very girly girl and this is the kind of thing she'd like to do anyways. Now I feel much more confident when I send her to a friend's house -- I don't have to worry whether she's going to behave or not. Reinforcing her manners from a third party really made an impact on her.

I work mainly in matte gold. When it's shiny ... sometimes you lose the shape of the piece.

I just love nice things. And I sort of spontaneously put them together.

The main thing is that it's comfortable and beautiful, ... That's my starting point when I'm thinking, 'Will this work?'
