My Daily Wabi Sabi

Every day I toss my hair towels onto the rack and inadvertently wabi sabi.

My newest dog

The bitty Kimber Micro 9. Fits in a pocket. I like the bigger babies better but for a stroll this suffices.

About Me

My photo
Christian Herman
St. Louis, Missouri, United States
I appreciate, document, and collect historic face brick. I'm a maker of many things which I sell in my Etsy shop. I love the challenge of materials and design. Most of my work involves upcyling. I dream about design and resolve design issues in my dreams. Life is magical. I'm not available to answer questions via email about bricks. I'm rabidly possessive of my time. What I know is disclosed here and I wish you luck in your research.
