Everybody's looking for something. Mary Ann is looking for the real Beirut, whatever that means. These are the photos she takes along the way.
You can browse around the archives here or check out her other blogs. There's one from a few years ago, back when she blogged about art. And then there's another from '09 when she lived in St. Louis (USA).

Oh, nice! Does it smell of wood there?
ReplyDelete"Craftswomen" would be an oxymoron in the Mideast.
Nondescript meaning plantation pine! And there is some particle board leaning against the wall. So relatively inexpensive furniture.
