Whew. This summer's been a rush. This is definitely my busy season. Lots of calls, lots of appointments, and lots of furniture. Oh and I have been preparing to do a Pecha Kucha presentation for this evening and another lecture on Saturday. I've been swimming in books and notes. If you're in the area, come on over!
Josh:
ReplyDeleteCould you list some of the titles. Some are obvious, the others I couldn't read. Can't have to many books. Especially about old furniture and tools.
Thanks
