A Snowflake Authority - Bentley

By: Jacqueline Briggs Martin
What a great book. It is an autobiography about Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley, a photographer/scientist who studied snowflakes. Over time he discovered that all snowflakes are different.


Actual photos by Bentley

We made several different snowflakes of our own. And being true to science... no two were alike!

Buttons, pom-poms, glitter, cotton balls, gems and sequins ... Oh My!

  14. There is no motivation to purchase another Bentley when you can get an utilized one that is similarly as wonderful and as staggering as any new Bentley that you could envision. used car dealerships
