Today’s matchbook of Bateaux Parisiens comes from Jon at Travel Photo Daily. He said that he just came across it, but that is was at least five or more years old. It brought back lots of great memories of my trip to Paris last fall, so a very big THANKS for the contribution.

Relaxing around the house and eating leftovers? Watching football? Listening to holiday music and putting up the holiday decorations? Or are you one of the many, many people who will be heading out to the stores for the kick off of the holiday shopping […]

Silk maps are now enjoying current popularity. Not a recent invention, silk maps have a long history, […]
