Can’t Remember the Name of This Christmas Wine?

  • Posted on December 14, 2009 at 1:20 pm

It’s from Germany or Austria. It was called a “Christmas” wine. It is sweet, spicy, and a little fruity. The label is beautiful: an Old World Christmas scene, with lots of bright colors and clean lines. Possibly a woodblock print. Does anybody know the name of this wine?

Personalized Name Poems

  • Posted on November 21, 2009 at 12:16 pm


Personalized name poems can be used for all occasions from a simple birthday wish, to a best mans speech, or even a beautiful and thoughtful gesture for a bereavement.

What a wonderful idea, a poem created by a poet on a subject personal to you with all your own content. Putting together the thoughts and emotions you want to convey and presenting them in verse, rhyming and co-ordinated. It makes your ideas come to life, providing you with a well-structured poem centred on issues close to your heart.

Young men or women struggling to get the words out of how they find someone attractive, needn’t worry anymore, with a few lines of information the poet is able to conjure up the ideal words to get the message across, in a much more imaginative and original way.

People often find it difficult to convey their thoughts when writing in cards for their immediate family and close friends. But by relaying some of their memories of their times together, this can be transposed into a delightful little keepsake of which will linger in the memory far beyond a conventional gift.

The rhyming side of the poem introduces a jovial aspect to the finished piece of prose, it forces sometimes-unusual words to work together, the poet thinks ‘out of the box’ and this lateral thinking brings with it a unique and original concept.

People often keep Birthday Cards or Christmas Cards for a long time, this does seem futile at times because in the card may be 2 lines of text, of which the majority is saying the usual “Happy Christmas/Birthday” etc. There is obviously a mass produced poem from the manufacturer in there. But who really reads it and actually appreciates the sentiment?

A personalized name poem is actually a ’story’ with a start, beginning and end, which reflects the relationship between the sender and receiver. A much more meaningful and informal way of emotional correspondence. It has the ability to link, beautifully; events, feelings and people.

The development of mass communication means that a personalized poem can also be sent by email. So there are no time delays like waiting for the post, no matter what distances are involved. A fantastic way to deliver a meaningful gift, if time is of the essence.

The personalized name poem can be printed on cards or good quality paper to be presented as a gift, or just simply recited at an event, over the phone or one to one.

The theme of the poem can be set as well. The poem doesn’t have to be jovial; it can be used as a serious piece, to affirm a persons feelings or as an apology. There are also sad times in life where a personalized name poem would be a fitting gesture, like a reading at a funeral. Its properties can be used to relate to a story of the deceased or to convey the thoughts of the mourner.

Personalized name poems are as versatile as a blank sheet of paper. It is the opportunity to create something special that will be remembered forever in the minds of the receiver. There are literally no limitations.

Is there a gift more meaningful?

Creating Personalized Framed Name Art

When anyone gives a gift, it is usually important to make a statement about ones self as well as a declaration about feelings toward the recipient.   So, we shop and shop looking for just the right way to convey the right sentiment.   One solution is to give a personalized gift.   A personalized gift is one that is unique to the person it is made for.   But, not all personalized gifts are a successIf you are searching for a personalized gift, look for one that will match the taste of the receiver.   A beer mug with “Mom” could be, ok but not likely.   A teacher, for example, can only use so many coffee cups with “My Favorite Teacher”, and tacky t-shirts pronouncing “Home Owner” are not really welcomed.   Subtle expressions are more desirable.   When you decide on such a present, whether for a wedding gift, Christmas, or birthday gift, look for something that will stand the test of time.   Look for something that can be examined and admired for years to come.   You will want to bestow a gift that makes a statement about your warm and loving feelings as well as one that express good taste.  One superb example of such a gift is a distinctive keepsake name or word art frame made by A Framed Name.   If you haven’t seen these beautiful frames, you are, indeed, in for a pleasant surprise.   These personalized word and name frames are a collection of art photos combined to create a name or word of your choice.   The words are formed using a selection of photographs taken of historical architectural details of the New Orleans area and convey letters.   You just have to see these beautiful pictures. Once you see this unique artwork you will want to give this piece of art to every special person on your gift list.   With over 100 choices for letters and a selection of mats and frames, it is easy to personalize these letter frames for anyone and for any occasion.   These keepsakes will be as unique as you make them.   Double matted and ready to hang, this artwork will be a treasured addition to anyone’s home or office.  Not only a warm and loving gift for family and friends, these pictures make exquisite gifts for special clients as they express simple messages of “Welcome” and “Love”, or “Gratitude”.   Be assured, you will want one for yourself!

Name That Victorian Style Home!

  • Posted on November 17, 2009 at 12:14 pm


Many people think they know what they’re looking for when they want a “Victorian style” home. However, “Victorian” is a misnomer. It refers to a period of time, rather than a type of housing. The homes you think of as Victorian actually have their own names and origins. When you’re looking for a specific type of home, it may help to know the exact home style you are looking for. Most Victorians share a number of features, including bay windows, ornate detailing of eaves, dormers and columns, and wraparound porches. The style most popularly known as “Victorian” is actually the Queen Anne style. This home type was named, not so much for architecture during the reign of Queen Anne (from 1702 to 1714), but for the misattribution of the term from descriptions in William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel “The History of Henry Esmond, Esq. , A Colonel in the Service of Her Majesty Queen Anne”. You will know a Queen Anne by its asymmetrical design: windows, turrets, porches on multiple stories and the exquisite detailing on nearly every part of the home, including “gingerbread” trim, decorative moldings and sculptured columns. The bay windows that afford residents a “window-seat” are also a defining feature. The Queen Anne is unique for its enduring presence in popular culture as “Victorian”, but it is not the first, nor the last Victorian era home style, being in vogue from the 1880s to around 1910. The first style known as “Victorian” is generally agreed to be Gothic Revival, which emerged in the early-mid 1800s, around 1840. These homes were patterned after medieval churches, with the steeply sloping roof and pointed-arch windows that were characteristic of those buildings. Since middle-class Victorians could not afford the detailing that went into a classic Gothic Revival home, they went with a squarer, less ornamented style that came to be known as Folk Victorian. The Italianate, reminiscent of the great manses of northern Italy, albeit in a smaller form, came into vogue in the 1860s. The segments of the house were often built asymmetrically, to evoke a feeling of the rambling Italian villas it was trying to emulate. Second Empire homes were in vogue at the same time as the Italianate, but features a “mansard roof”- a roof that is as flat as possible to make the most of the attic area. Dormer windows are usually installed in the attic in this type of home. The Stick style, emerging in the 1880s, is known for the contrasting planks on the exterior of the home and sometimes for the big overhanging porch on the second story. The Romanesque Revival and Shingle styles are unique among Victorian era homes, as they have little or no ornamentation. However, their construction makes up for that. Due to their construction materials and design, homes of this design were the domain of the super-wealthy or for public buildings. The Romanesque Revival is an all-stone building, with plain detailing for windows, doors and eaves. The Shingle style is just as it is named – shingles cover everything on the exterior. The Shingle eventually evolved into a more economical form that the middle class could afford and it is this kind of home that has survived into modern times. It is a good idea to get a good idea of what kind of Victorian home you are looking for. It is quite possible that some of the lesser known Victorians are hiding in your local MLS without proper identification.
