A Tale of Two Shoes – Part 1
The weekend preceding the most recent Birka had me searching for my nearly new shoes, purchased at Pennsic from Boots by Bohemond and worn exactly once.

As we ended week 7 of quarantine I was really feeling down. I had to take a long hard look at what I could do to get myself out of the funk. My solution is that I needed art. Art is good for getting me to relax. For the last several weeks of school, like … Continue reading
