Have nothing in your house which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. – William Morris

My mother gave me my first glass paperweight over twenty years ago and has continued to surprise me with new ones for special celebrations.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare

I named my blog Satin & Sand to represent the juxtaposition between the extraordinary, sensual, passionate, pleasurable, and especially the beautiful with the ordinary, mundane, sometimes gritty but necessary tasks of every day living.

Please join me as I embark on a new and exciting journey to discover how to incorporate more of the beauty aesthetic into daily living.

In the pursuit of beauty!

Joan
