Just over a year ago, this is what the top of my dresser looked like. I wanted to take off for an 8 month around the world trip and a.) Am the most indecisive person you will ever meet and b.) Have a not-so-secret love for the library. I could go anywhere I wanted in […]
Photo of the Week
Montage Monday: Stained Glass, La Sagrada Familia
La Sagrada Familia: my favorite cathedral and also one of the top five most inspiring pieces of architecture that I’ve seen to date.
