Thanks to Helg for the link to Sacred Sites. I linked it to my site also. I hope you will enjoy it also.
The church today reminded me somewhat of the church in Innsbruck.

A role model

This article about Vivian Cherry, an almost 90 year old NY street photographer, is quite fascinating.
Be sure to click the accompanying interview with her. It shows pictures of her earlier life when she was dancing and many stills from her newly published book, Helluva Town: New York City in the 1940s [...]

Oscar jewels
February 29th, 2008 — , Arts, beauty from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com
I don’t know about you, but I like looking at the clothes and jewels of Oscar night.
I don’t hanker after any of the jewels as they are way out of my reach, so I can look without angst. And I remind myself that most of them are on loan from the jewelers, [...]

This gives a whole new definition to vision and sight. I find it inspiring.

Very cute website

This website is adorable. Very clever and fun to show the kids.
You have to wait until it starts and have your speakers on as there is music.

Halloween
November 1st, 2007 — Arts, Books, Just thinking from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com
We had some really cute costumes here. The little boys especially were adorable. One little fellow said he was Jack Sparrow. He was just the cutest thing. One little girl was so cute — she said she was a mermaid. A neighbor went as Harry Potter and his mother as [...]

Pushing Daisies
October 19th, 2007 — Arts from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com
I really enjoy this show. So far, I’ve only been able to catch it at www.abc.com
It is quirky and funny and different and absurd. I like the way it is filmed. It is very creative.
They even had a little musical incorporated in one of the episodes and a quirky dance [...]
I can’t believe I forgot to watch the finale of Burn Notice
September 21st, 2007 — Arts from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com
There was a lot going on, then we watched an interesting show on the Travel channel…then a friend called just after 11 to see if I’d watched the show.
No, I totally forgot!
So here I am watching the rerun of it in the middle of the night practically! Good casting of all the parts.
I can [...]

Yue Embroidery in south China’s Guangdong Province
August 9th, 2007 — Arts, Crafts from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com
There are two pictures of this embroidery here. One is particularly lifelike.
Someday I would like to see the double sided embroidery, where each side is a different design. I can’t imagine learning this style or being artistic enough to execute it.
At one time I did a lot of needlepoint, including some petit point, [...]

Imagine yourself on another planet where people have 6 arms — then imagine the kinds of instruments and music one person could make. This is quite beautiful!

??? River of daughters
July 11th, 2007 — Arts, Music, Travel from Karin @ SavvyThinker.com
River of Daughters uses the theme of the Yellow River as a mother figure to express the personality of the people who lives at its bank. Compared to a lot of other dance with the Yellow River as its theme, this dance focuses more on the liveliness of the girls rather than the magnificance of [...]
Kindness is a virtue

There is nothing I will ever paint that will be more appreciated than that.
This woman whose paintings sell for thousands of dollars is painting (and sending to families) portraits of fallen soldiers. Click here to watch a video that includes many of her portraits.
She captures the essence of a person out of her [...]
