Hand Lettered Campaign Posters

April 8, 2016 By Carol

This election year has inspired so many impressive and marvelous handmade campaign posters. Elections are super emotional events. Folks overcome their inhibitions and get out poster paints and cardboard to express their love for their desired candidate or cause. I love the variety and homespun fervor that gushes into campaign posters.         […]

John Hancock’s Original Quill!

January 25, 2016 By Carol

    I deliver mail to Worthington Hooker Middle School in New Haven. One day last Spring, I was delighted to find a display in the main lobby of different artifacts in their own dioramas. The assignment had the flavor of a Ripley’s Believe-it-or-not. The students were to chose an object, design a display, and […]

Maya Angelou Mural

October 26, 2015 By Carol

Maya Angelou Memorial Mural on the corner of Orchard & Henry Streets in New Haven, CT Painted by Dooley-O.com I love this mural. Not only is it a sensitively rendered likeness of Maya Angelou with a knowing expression, two of her “real quotes” frame her portrait, along with the some colorful local graffiti. I can’t […]

A Christmas Carol

December 22, 2014 By Carol

December 22, 2014   On a recent trip to downtown New Haven, I discovered a marvelous Christmas display of paper cutouts in a variety of shop windows. The best arrangement is in Claire’s Corner Copia, a vegetarian restaurant on the corner of Chapel and College Streets. There I spotted this scene from Dicken’s Christmas Carol. […]

November 24, 2014   Last Friday, 44 New Haven city letter carriers were acknowledged by The National Safety Council for a minimum of 30 years with a safe driving record.That sets the criteria for The Million Mile Club.   At first, I took it literally, and wondered: “If the truck clocked 1,000,000 miles, how many […]

The Writing Master in paper!!!

May 5, 2013 By Carol

May 5, 2013 I am so pleased to announce that The Writing Master is, at long last, coming out in paperback TODAY!!! Hip, hip, hooray! Yes, I downloaded the e-book version and wandered briefly, into the 1850’s with the story, but call me “old-fashioned,” I like a book as a companion I can carry with […]
