Chandeliers at Disneyland

Ever noticed or tried counting the number of chandeliers in Disneyland? These are just a few of them. They are EVERYWHERE you go... even where you least expect them.

Architectural Details at the Villa



The vast collection of ancient Greek and Roman art found at this museum is not the only thing to admire here. It's the architectural details that make this place so special. I especially love the black and white mosaic floors found throughout the museum.

A mosaic fountain in one of the gardens.


Marble inlaid floors.
Geometric designs for black and white marble floors.




I love that the rail for this staircase is carved out of the marble wall.



A simple but beautiful fresco on one of the walls.




Three different window designs in the outdoor peristyle.

At the MCASD

Among the things I do at the Museum, is merchandising. I love coming up with beautiful ways to display things. Neat products and a neat store setting always make it easier. In my years doing this, there's never been anything worse than having to merchandise product that wasn't interesting to me. Here are a few things around the Xstore that I love or just simply wish I had the money to buy right away.

A gold banana bowl...pricey.


Mr. and Mrs. Smith Teapot, mugs, and lemon/lime juicers... I think I like these because of the heads peeking out....kinda creepy.


Porcelain tea cups... I love the indentations for your fingers to grip.



Black porcelain still life of a candlestick and apple... so gothic.





Porcelain Owl Lamp... the light this lamp gives off at night is so soft... very soothing. I wish I had one of these when I was a child. It would have helped me sleep better at night.




City on a Plate... right to left... New Orleans, Berlin, Cairo. These are great because they are heavy-duty ceramic plates... great for dinner.


This is a kid's melamine tray set. I think the reason I like this so much is that it reminds me of the dishes airplane meals are served on.

This year's limited edition Star Wars USB drives. Gotta get one!
