Mosaic Monday

"Ireland is where strange tales begin and happy endings are possible."
-Charles Haughey


Hello! I am sorry for the lack of posts this past week, I just needed to take a bit of a "blog breather." However, I am refreshed and ready to get at it again. Today's mosaic is comprised of Irish castles that my family and I plan on visiting in the next few years. We are just waiting for my youngest son to get a bit bigger. Enjoy!

“Wherever you go and whatever you do, May the luck of the Irish be there with you.”
-Irish Blessing

Mosaic Monday

"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air."
-W. T. Ellis


Hello! Since this is the last Monday before Christmas I decided to make one last holiday mosaic. It is comprised of photos of holiday lights from around the world - can you figure out the cities? Enjoy!

Stunning Sunday: Venice, Italy

Hello! I am so sorry to be MIA this week. The holiday orders have been pouring in and I have been swamped. (no complaints!) I just do not have the time to do EVERYTHING! Today I am blogging about a favorite city - Enjoy!



Information:

* Venice stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
* The saltwater Venetian Lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers.
* The city is connected with mainland Italy by a rail and highway bridge.
* Between the islands run about 150 canals, mostly very narrow, crossed by about 400 bridges.
* The Grand Canal, shaped like a reversed letter "S", is the main traffic artery; its main bridge is the Rialto.
* Gondolas, are the traditional means of transport, but sadly, they are being replaced by small river boats.
* Venice does have some public squares, and a few streets.
* Houses are built on piles to protect from flooding.

Have a great day and remember: Go Ahead & Indulge!
