Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm,  As you get older, remember you have another hand:  The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.

~ Audrey Hepburn


I have loved Audrey Hepburn for as long as I can remember, and even more as she became more involved in humanitarian efforts.  During the Second World War she was a courier for the Dutch resistance and assisted with fundraising.  She spoke several languages, including English, Dutch, German, French, Italian, and Spanish.  I remember watching 'My Fair Lady' when I was really young and I absolutely adored her as Eliza Doolittle and when I read George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalian' in Jr High School on which the musical was based, I had to watch it again and again.  As my daughters grew I shared my love of all things Audrey, including her wardrobe which inspired my desire to study fashion and though I didn't continue on to study fashion in Toronto as I had initially planned, I did design and sew clothing for myself and my daughters for many years.  She was a classic beauty in every way.
