When you visit Jersey City you should see The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery and go on a tour with the caretaker, Eileen Markenstein.

I get inspiration from things I find at Michigan yard sales and the Brimfield Antique Market in MA (which are also two of my top resources), the woods, vintage architecture at the "magic hour" and, believe it or not - cemeteries.

Best advice: Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Three wishes: 1) an express train from Jersey City NJ to Traverse City, MI 2) a garden 3) peace on earth - no really!
