America is a funny place. We love our history but value progress, and the result in our cities - in the built environment at least - is an odd mix of old and new, evolution and decay. Although we often take it for granted, the preservation of all but our most significant urban landmarks is [...]

This past weekend I had the honor of attending the wedding of dear friends in rural Mifflintown, Pennsylvania. The address of the venue was literally on Route 35, which told me right away that this reception was going to be somewhat rustic.

Perhaps because I have always been big - reaching 5′9″ in the 8th grade, much to my chagrin - I have always had a special passion for things that are very small. Miniatures of any kind, including dollhouses and their related accoutrements, fascinate me; the smaller and more articulated, the better.

Last week our office was lucky enough to have a visit from jewelry, make-up, and henna artist Tiffany Thomas. Not only is she a delight to have around, she thrilled all of us by offering up her steady hand and well-honed skills to create personal, one-of-a-kind temporary tattoos.
