Welcome to my links page. Here I place many of my favorite sites.

Mount Holyoke College: My Alma Mater, class of 2000. I am proud to hail from one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the county. When I was in high school, never did I think I would eventually attend a women's college, but I am so glad I did. I have made friends here that will last a lifetime.

Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco: This is an incredible site made up of over 75,000 images with an excellent search engine. I love the french impressionists: Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and my favorite, Edgar Degas. I used this site many times when I was a student looking for works by a particular artist.

WebMuseum, Paris: Impressionism: Learn all about my favorite artists and see many of their works.

Coke: Okay, so I am a Diet Coke addict, but this is a fun site. The flash animation is quite impressive.

Yankee Candle: I love candles, and I especially love the Yankee Candle Company. They have over 160 fragrances, and they smell exactly like what they are labeled. Historic Deerfield, MA is home to the Yankee Candle flagship store, a 90,000 square foot store filled with candles and gifts and a candle making museum. It's winter wonderland all year as you walk through the store's Bavarian Christmas Village and explore cobblestone trails that wind through an old European village. I love going there anytime of year! One little secret for a successful trip, if the fragrances start overwelming you in the store, there are jars of coffee beans in the samplers room. Sniff one of them. It will clear your nose so you can continue on!

Barnes and Noble.com: Dulge into a good book! I highly recommend anything by Barbara Kingsolver. I also love children's books. Check out Sector 7 by David Wiesner, an excellent picture book about a boy who befriends a cloud atop the Empire State Building and goes to visit Sector 7, a cloud making factory. The illustrations are beautiful and highly amusing. My favorite books are Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle, and From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg, and Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. If you are looking for a good "fluff" book (as my English professors would call it), I highly recommend All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarden by Robert Fulgum. It's the fluffiest!

Vermont: Home, sweet home. Home to Cabot cheese, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and Billings Dairy. Vermont is made up of 75% forest land, and was the first state to impliment recycling laws. A progressive state, we also passed the civil unions law.
I was raised in White River Junction, VT, the crossroads of New England. The bus station, the railroad, I-89 and I-91, and the Connecticut River and White River, they all lie in this tiny village in the town of Hartford, VT.

Northampton, MA: My new home, which hails itself as the #1 small arts town in America, and I believe it! There are concerts, galleries, and fabulous ethnic restaurants (Siam Square is my favorite), and street musicians on every corner.
