Repurposed Vintage Maid's Cart

We found a pair of vintage hotel maid's carts.  We had been wondering what we could use them for.  One we keep stocked with our tools and the such.  The other we decided to install a butcher block on the top.

Now your moveable feast can be prepared anywhere.  Carve your Thanksgiving turkey tableside!

April is National Poetry Month

You should write more...How about a journal?  Write down your thoughts of love in this blood red journal.

Or how about these Italian leather bound journals?
Since it is poetry month, a poem...


[somewhere i have never travelled]
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near


your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose


or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;


nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing


(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands


e.e. cummings
