<span style="font-size: medium;">My dear friend Berta is a second-hand shopper extraordinaire. Last week I <a href="http://geogypsy.blogspot.com/2012/03/thrifty-thursday-yard-art.html" target="_blank">shared</a> a few views of her yard and promised I’d tour the inside of her house as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Berta likes color and glass. And what better way to show both off but in a window. This colorful collection sits above the kitchen sink.</span></div>

A woman named Clara Zetkin a (Leader of the 'Women's Office' for the Social Democratic Party in Germany) tabled the idea of an International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day - a <i>Women's Day</i> - to press for their demands. The conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, representing unions, socialist parties, working women's clubs, and including the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament, greeted Zetkin's suggestion with unanimous approval and thus International Women's Day was the result.”</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Many women have influenced my life.
