Just now getting to say Happy New Year -- and it is February 16th!  We've been snowed under here on the East Coast.  It is getting tiresome, but on the other hand, I love the idea that Mother Nature is still in charge.  Thinking about lovely things that we'll have for you soon -- things made by the hands of wonderful artisans and artists here in the U.S. and around the world -- that keeps me going.  Stay tuned for lovely images...
