The information provided on this site regarding Victorian-era San Francisco is invaluable. I was identifying Queen Anne Towers and Slanted Bay Italiantes on my walk home today. Excellent!
Wow, Kaleene - it seems like every time I visit your site, I discover something new (& always fascinating!) Thanks for sharing all this incredible information!
I work for a Victorian house museum, and your site is invaluable to us -- it's a jumping off point for docents doing research on areas of interest, a good supplement for our docents in training, and a great resource for the teachers we work with. In fact, just today, a 3rd Grade art teacher copied down the URL for advice on a whirligigs art project. Keep up the good work, please!
What a great source of information on all things Victoriana, with a special focus on San Francisco, CA, USA. And an interesting linkage of Victorian to Green, plus excellent examples of the Green practice of reuse.
I love the look of your "Not Your Grandfathers Dog Tag" on Smashing Darling. A wonderful way to reuse those one of a kind items which are too nice to ditch. Keep it coming.
The quality of workmanship and innovative reuse of the items is beyond compare. every detail is seen to assuring quality, durability, and usability. Kaleene is one of the most generous and ethical business people on the web, and always goes the extra mile for her customers.
Your imagination and concepts of reuse or repurpose are astounding, give you an item and you’ll make several useful objects out of it. Keep up the delightful work.
As always, Kaleene provides a vast array of well documented research along with her unique flair for educating the viewer. She is always available for questions and her die hard dedication to her projects makes her a very savvy historian, designer and artist.
Best,
Chad Cooper
