so exciting

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!

WOW! Your dedication to all things Victorian is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing all of this information and I just love your artistry!

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.

Really interesting info on architecture. I learned a lot about SF.

A nice guide to things Victorian and San Francisco history -- thank you!

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.

Love your work, great reusing. Keep it coming.

Always a wonderful experience seeing your ideas. What a gifted imagination for reuse! I will continue to check in for a new look at not so new items.

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.

I really enjoy looking at all the unique jewelry you have posted.
Your site about San Francisco's architectural history is so interesting.

I just love looking at all your sites. You always have such interesting, beautiful things!

hmmmm...very interesting!
Thanks
