Shelter Dogs and Street Dogs
I recently found these wonderful photography books, and was immediately mesmerized by them. I have always been a dog lover, so these photos really spoke to me. This is the work of Traer Scott, compiled in to two books. Shelter Dogs (Merrell Publishers 2006) includes portraits of dogs in shelters waiting for homes. Street Dogs ( Merrell Publishers 2007) capture the lives of many homeless dogs and their manner of survival.

I really love this portrait of "Joshua". He is such a stately animal.

I have many relatives in Mexico, so as a child I would often travel there. This photo of the dog on the roof, reminds me of what is a rather familiar sight there.
"Gumdrop"Traer Scott's books donate fifty cents from each book sold to the ASPCA (Shelter Dogs) and WSPA (Street Dogs). These books are available at all major bookstores and on the ASPCA site (click here), and the WSPA site (click here). I recommend going to Traer's site also. (click here). Her portfolio is wonderful.

On my first blog I included this photo of a Nama Rococo wallpaper, but didn't list a credit. I guess I was caught up in the excitement of posting for the first time. Anyway, I know many bloggers have seen these funky wallpapers before , but for those of who haven't, here you go.
I have to say that my personal taste is quite minimal. I mean I love looking at a bare concrete wall! Despite that, I do love this wallpaper. Above is the limited edition Chateau 66 in color Hot. What I like about it is that it is sold by the sheet. So for all the minimalists in the world, you can add a fun pattern, without feeling overwhelmed by it.

I know I am a little late in posting them. I'd like to thank Heather at the Houston Downtown Alliance , VJ Arizepe and Sandra Gunn properties for forwarding these photos.
Its refreshing to experience a very different way of living than I have. I love seeing the cityscape and the interesting people walking around downtown.
Several of these lofts are on the market. I have a link to Sandra Gunn Properties here, who is selling the loft pictured below, and the loft at the top.
My favorite hang out in Houston...Brasil! I decided to feature this great coffee house after reading Denise Kiggan's post on Freshly Found. Denise posted a coffee house she found in her hometown of Durban South Africa. I would love to see bloggers around the world post their favorite hangouts. Imagine, the world united by coffee!
Anyway, Brasil is a funky and eclectic place; where you find every type of person imaginable. I often go with my husband and son, and sit outside. There are two patios filled with lovely trees and greenery. I also, like to go when I am alone to work on a project or read a good book.
There are two great shops surrounding Brasil. Domy Books and Raye, a designer clothing boutique. All three places are owned by partners Dan Fergus and Magda Sayeg, so they have a cohesive feel.This Saturday is the downtown home tour. It will be held by the Houston Downtown Alliance from 10 a.m-5 p.m. I love having the opportunity to see how other people live.
I would share to you about my new side business, recently, I invest half of my money become to gold. I think, it is the best way to invest your money with gold coins gain. As you have known, gold has touched many aspects of human needs. Gold also has emotional benefits to enjoy its beauty. There was a global cultural agreement that gold is the precious metal with a high aesthetic value. Value beauty combined with an attractive price, so be gold as a means to express themselves, gold has become a status symbol in the various sub-cultures in world. Everyone knows that gold is the most appropriate and the most secure investment, because it is the most valuable exchange unit throughout the world since the past until now, even to the future.The market of gold will never closes and you can trade gold anywhere, anytime. Bullion coins are also produced in fractions of an ounce – typically half ounce, quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce. Bullion coins sometimes carry a face value as legal tender, The face value is minted on the coin, and it is done so in order to bestow legal tender status on a coin, which generally makes it easier to import or export across national borders. And the simple reason why gold is interesting for investment is buy or purchase gold coin will protect your wealth in inflation or any economic downturn.
So, what is gold coins gain? GoldCoinsGain.com is online resource for gold coin and gold bullion acquisition. You will found many of gold coin and gold bullion from around the world there. Such as $ 20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, American Eagle, South African Krugerrand, Canadian Maple Leaf, and many more. so, Start investing in gold by buying gold coins 1 gram, 2 grams and so on. And when a big profit, while a small profit, as profit taking in the stock, make sure the benefits are converted in the form of gold, although only slightly. Online shopping is very easy I think and in this web, you can do everything for purchase gold coin, and even for asking the Gold price everyday online.
I am a blogger since about 6 years a go, and I have known a little about e commerce, frankly, I really interesting about planning to start an e commerce blog, especially in interior design, I will promote this blog to the entire of the world. And before any serious undertaking that requires my time and effort, I always make a plan and my e commerce website should be no different.
The truth is, if I fail to plan, I plan to fail. But what exactly goes into an e commerce website plan? Having a solid plan of action can help me more easily measure my results, test new marketing avenues and stay connected with my target audience. By having an e commerce plan, I will be able to see what’s working, rather than guessing and hoping for the best.

There is thousands till millions of e commerce websites over internet, this is managemeticaly, you can buy, add products, and checkout automaticaly. Who is the artist from this sides ? Sure, the artist is the maker and designer of the e-commerce websites. There is many web that offer e commerce maker service, and of course, this will make us so confuse, because we don’t know how the quality of each services, but too many e commerce ventures collapse because the people involved didn't bother to secure the supply and distribution of their product ahead of time. What happens when people shopping online don't get the product they ordered in a reasonable amount of time or don't get it at all? They get angry, and chances are good, no matter how nicely you apologize to them, they'll never buy anything from you again. And they'll tell all their friends how unhappy they are with your crummy service!
I should consider when taking my e commerce services website from concept to creation. I have to do research and make strategy (using this strategy virtually guarantees that my efforts to focus in on the right types of customers are well-rewarded, saving my time and money). Next step is planning (this is the time to ask myself crucial questions regarding how much (or how little) knowledge someone must have about my product or service to make a purchase). Then, Information Architecture (here i’ll consider the navigation and layout of the site as well as best practices for overall user experience). Next, it’s about Design (if the site does not project a style that is attractive and pleasing, the customer may mistakenly infer that the products sold will not live up to their expectations). Construction is the next step, because when we think of the website construction as the support framework of a house we’re building, and web design as the outside of the house – the siding, well-groomed yard and welcome mat that make it feel warm and inviting. And the last step is Migration and Launch (involves moving the site from a development server toward live launch).
Wow, and right now, I am ready to start my e commerce blog.
