I retired after 35 years working in a large public library in Ohio USA. I decided to look for hand-crated items to decorate my apt and myself, and find the Novica selections very tempting. I'd like to add more wall hangings and rugs. I read many kinds of fiction/nonfiction books, enjoy independent films, and am finally learning to listen to more and different kinds of music, though I'm completely without any talent as a performer on any thing. Since I travel as well as a soufflee, Novica is one way to experience some aspects of the countries and cultures and people I'll never see in person.
