On the sample board of a glass tile product line, Martha Bubert saw the colors of sunlight reflecting off snow. For months, the Westminster artist, who is a designer for a downtown flooring store, collected the 1-inch tiles that would otherwise be discarded, storing them in a kitchen drawer at home. This fall, when she began to work on a handcrafted holiday wreath, Bubert dumped out a rainbow of 900 tiles on her dining room table and spent hours arranging an inspired tile mosaic called "Winter Reflections."

It is a story about faith, friendship - and perhaps a little fantasy. It is about three people whose ages span 30 years, but whose careers and experiences led them to find this historic town on Maryland's Eastern Shore as the perfect spot to start the next phase of their lives. Ultimately, they also found one another. Given the size of St. Michaels, with a little more than 1,000 full-time residents according to the 2010 census, it's not unusual that Mike Kerrigan met Peter Paris.

A tot's discarded rocking horse has taken on an artful life and become a compelling symbol of a river befouled by debris. Towson University art students recently salvaged the toy, in two large chunks, during a volunteer clean-up along Back River in Essex. "When it came out of the river, it was scary, dirty and something like the swamp creature," said Vicki Miller, 19, of Parkton, during a class critique last week in anticipation of a trash art auction. But Olivia Moore saw in the yellowed, broken toy the potential to deliver an anti-pollution message.
