every day living with a touch of creativity
I’ve never been to the MOMA, in fact, I’ve never set foot in New York City. And, please note, they have a rad online gift shop. I digress. Although I love and appreciate art (and spent a summer studying art history in Florence, Italy), I do not travel to see art shows, art museums, or [...]
