love in the air

uptown downtown

 

berries in brown paper

on east 2nd street...

 

'tis the gift to be simple

stay home

 

a bowl of blackberries

at home...

still life with hearts and tulips....

in honor of an industry colleague, mentor and neighbor lost too soon, a few quotes by William Morris, whose wallpaper designs he loved and employed in his interior projects and in his own city apartment and cherished Upstate home:

"The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life."

"There is no excuse for doing anything which is not strikingly beautiful." 

"I am going your way, so let us go hand in hand. You help me and I'll help you.  We shall not be here very long... so let us help one another while we may."

Don, thank you for sharing your many gifts and for inspiring us in so many areas of our lives!
