"We always  came on the  ferry, and to us kids it was like arriving in a whole new  land."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b2gpfX0zemg/T5iUrgnY2RI/AAAAAAAAMI4/wJ_EKzp13SI/s1600/sardinia-focacceria_22373_600x450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

She is personally responsible for the  conceptualization of her collections, recipe development and vision of  Vosges Haut-Chocolat, and with chocolate as her medium, she encourages  others to explore the diversity of cultures, artists, traditions and  movements. Through her inspiration, sensual and experiential approach,  unexpected ingredients and highly sophisticated methods,&lt;strong&gt; Katrina inspires and models innovation - taking risks and pushing the boundaries of chocolate conventions." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WrgUWEpPp3c/T4v7fASSwLI/AAAAAAAAL-8/OGttA5vhzrY/s1600/logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="314" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WrgUWEpPp3c/T4v7fASSwLI/AAAAAAAAL-8/OGttA5vhzrY/s640/logo.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #274e13; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;What a PERFECT fit!&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;C &amp;amp; A Camp&lt;/b&gt; is now our local source for Vosges Chocolate!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qWFvUOxJ4Zw/T4v7-cs1AJI/AAAAAAAAL_0/ZzEORJHf9lI/s1600/photo-96.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qWFvUOxJ4Zw/T4v7-cs1AJI/AAAAAAAAL_0/ZzEORJHf9lI/s640/photo-96.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;"With each chocolate collection she creates, Katrina opens minds to  new ideas and inspires a more non-judgmental and inclusive world."   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vUv-ZGgxFJQ/T4v8Ip6mZ2I/AAAAAAAAMAE/vs7AvGCIcIU/s1600/photo-98.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vUv-ZGgxFJQ/T4v8Ip6mZ2I/AAAAAAAAMAE/vs7AvGCIcIU/s640/photo-98.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Katrina’s Creative Process:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Step 1 - &lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style="color: #330066;"&gt;FALL IN LOVE &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #330066; font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first step, and the origin of everything thereafter, is the act of  falling in love with either beauty, curiosity or cause. This may be as  simple as my first encounter with wattleseed, a food staple of the  Aboriginal culture, the beauty of Antoní Gaudí’s cathedral, La Sagrada  Família or the women of Afghanistan working in a beauty parlour. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QcU2yLUwpRg/T4v768HOViI/AAAAAAAAL_s/iHedxVGopn8/s1600/photo-95.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QcU2yLUwpRg/T4v768HOViI/AAAAAAAAL_s/iHedxVGopn8/s640/photo-95.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Step 2 - &lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style="color: #330066;"&gt;INSPIRATION &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With love there is no thought - only feeling - and it inevitably floats  me to the next step of inspiration. A moment of transparency comes and  the inspiration transforms into a vision of connectivity to my craft.  Listening carefully, I hear the vision with clarity, allowing me to  translate the love into my medium of chocolate storytelling. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qL8EadXCUPU/T4v7idqIyuI/AAAAAAAAL_E/8KyPW30YReQ/s1600/photo-100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qL8EadXCUPU/T4v7idqIyuI/AAAAAAAAL_E/8KyPW30YReQ/s640/photo-100.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Step 3 - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #330066;"&gt; ACTION &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The action is not just dreaming and leaving the thoughts in the clouds,  but actually DOING something to physically create the idea. It is the  pivotal moment. I act so as not to lose the idea to the fires that flare  up around me in a moment’s notice. I take action to create the  collection out of dire need for it to tangibly exist. It is never  perfect, for if it were it would never be born. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fo5U_QEKjAA/T4v7l0KYT4I/AAAAAAAAL_M/XhABGwW4_rk/s1600/photo-102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fo5U_QEKjAA/T4v7l0KYT4I/AAAAAAAAL_M/XhABGwW4_rk/s640/photo-102.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Step 4 - &lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style="color: #330066;"&gt;EXPERIENCE &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, there is the experience. The inspiration, ingredients and story  create the final experiential interaction of each product with YOU. You  embark upon your personal, sensory journey: the loosening of the ribbon  and lifting of the boxes, the dissemination of a message, the  interpretation of new &lt;i&gt; parfums &lt;/i&gt; and the connection with your  senses. If due to this experience, you stop and think about something in  a new light, open your mind to a novel idea and possibly create through  your medium, then this is a success.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;From the artist: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-family: Times; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;I am interested in the idea that one can feel nostalgia for something one  never actually had. What is that about? What does nostalgia do and how  does it operate? I think nostalgia exists where loss and beauty  intersect, and I think in all my work there is an undercurrent of loss  and beauty, and a struggle to define that point of intersection. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Topically  my work appears to be engaged in a dialogue about color, line, and  texture, reveal and non-reveal. When I paint I am thinking simple  thoughts. Intuition informs the way my body moves. My studio is filled  only with what it takes to make the work and little else because when I  am working nothing else interests me. I am often impatient. I vacillate  between moments of intense energy, self-doubt, celebration, mindfulness,  and release.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;My  work is very much process-driven. I like to give myself a repeated form  in which to let color take center stage. I think without realizing it I  have been struggling with painting's limitations, or I have been trying  to figure out why they are with regard to how I work, and whether these  limitations are even important to me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;What  are my subjects? I thought I would paint the thing itself. The moon  works as a trope in the way I mean, so I’ll paint the moon. Something  happens to my brain and heart when I see music live, particularly  outdoors and in the summertime, and so I’ll paint the concert lights.  But none of this felt real. None of it could really close the gap  between experience, that familiar heart-feeling when my heart feels  overwhelmed, and the realization that as I was experiencing the thing I  was also loosing it. And none of it could address the question of  whether or not any of that really mattered. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;If  I could make a painting that felt like what the sun feels like then I  might feel I as on the right track. I am searching for the moment when  head and heart align; when loss (when what is lost) becomes beautiful  and visa versa. I like what Amy Sillman says, that you should do two  things at once: what you do and what you don’t do. My work is about  exploring that point of intersection. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;How  can I contain all of this that I feel? How can I make sense of it?  Where is the beauty in all that is lost? These are things I think about.  They are simple questions, and yet they are perhaps the most essential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;

Healthy in all the right ways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;True story -- when Carlin was momma-to-be with her first baby, she went to NY to get linen crib sheets.&amp;nbsp; Better for the baby?&amp;nbsp; More healthy than cotton?&amp;nbsp; Who knew?&amp;nbsp; Carlin just thought they were pretty! Through the years, having another baby and living with linen herself, Carlin discovered first hand how fabulous linen can be.&amp;nbsp; Her favorite (after trying several brands) is LIBECO.&amp;nbsp; That is why -- the number one reason why -- she sells it in her shop.&amp;nbsp; It's the best.&amp;nbsp; Pure and simple.&amp;nbsp; Real and true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Benefits of Pure Linen Sheets:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1 - &lt;/b&gt;Has a light massaging effect because of the microscopic breaks throughout the fabric&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 - &lt;/b&gt;Suppresses live pathenogenic bacteria, microflora, and fungi and is not known to cause allergies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3 - &lt;/b&gt;Stimulates blood flow and promotes relaxation &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4 - &lt;/b&gt;Warm  in the winter - insulating and cool in the summer - a breathable fabric  (think of those sweaty summer nights when you wake up wrapped in damp  cotton/polyester sheets)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5 - &lt;/b&gt; Absorbent - has excellent abilities to absorb superfluous moisture (see #4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6 &lt;/b&gt;- Stronger than Cotton &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7 -&lt;/b&gt; Can last up to 20 years (an investment)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8 - &lt;/b&gt;  Environmentally friendly - all the flax used to make linen is used in  other ways - the seeds are pressed to make linseed oil which is used in  floor coverings, such as linoleum, and paint. Linen is a renewable  resource and it needs no irrigation. Linen is also fully biodegradable.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; --quote found &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://thelistlady.hubpages.com/hub/Pure-Linen-Sheets-8-Reasons-to-Love-Them"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;We aren't the only ones in love with LIBECO.&amp;nbsp;
