In our redecorating of parts of the Parris House in anticipation of opening it as a fiber art and heritage skills retreat center in 2020, we have been thinking about using authentic Adelphi Paper Hangings, LLC paper for some of the rooms. We have been admirers of Adelphi Paper for at least twenty years, but didn't know (and still don't know - we have just started our exploration) if the paper would be within our reach financially. What we *do* know is that it is the most beautiful and period correct wallpaper you could apply to any historic home. Interestingly, Adelphi is also located in Sharon Springs, NY, home to Beekman 1802 Boys Beekman 1802 Mercantile. I remember on my first trip out there being astonished and delighted when I saw it at the corners of Routes 10 & 20. Imagine my further surprise when I contacted them on Monday for information and found out that Jessica Marx, one of the first wonderful people I ever worked with at Beekman 1802, was working with Adelphi on some marketing initiatives. Please take a look at the fruits of her efforts on this brand new website which includes the breathtaking process video of how this very unique paper is made. Enjoy. ... See MoreSee Less

Remembering poet Mary Oliver. I just heard news of her death today on my way home from a meeting with Ellen, doing more planning for our hooking sail this summer. Mary Oliver was one of my favorite living poets, and now she's gone. Tomorrow I will post an interview with another of my favorite living poets, but for today, let's remember and appreciate Mary Oliver. I hope when death came, it was much like she hoped for in this poem.When Death Comes
by Mary Oliver

When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn;
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse

to buy me, and snaps the purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox

when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,

I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering:
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

And therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,

and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,

and each name a comfortable music in the mouth,
tending, as all music does, toward silence,

and each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.

When it's over, I want to say all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world ... See MoreSee Less
