So, by day I work for a great marble mosaic company, New Ravenna Mosaics, and recently they launched a new line of mosaic tiles. Now they are on the hunt for the perfect name to encompass the collection. I put in my two cents, and one of my ideas made it into the final two choices… so go vote for me and my name “Samsara
(cycle of reincarnation)” over at Sara Baldwin’s Design blog!!! Go. Now. Vote.
Look, it’s Me!
Come On In & Make Yourself At Home!
Welcome to my website. Here you will find varied and eclectic topics. I write, I read, I photograph. And sometimes, I complain, or wax poetic. One thing I do want to mention regarding book reviews: Most often, unless I truly feel compelled, you will rarely see a book reviewed or posted here that doesn't receive 3-5 stars (out of a five star scale) and that is simple in my reasoning. I don't review books that score lower, as I refuse to waste my time reading them to completion. On the flip side, very few books are perfect, even best-sellers so I don't give out very many five-star reviews either. I do hope this helps you understand the method to my madness! Questions?
