Our backsplash tile arrived this week. It took seven weeks for these little green gems to be hand-made at the Ann Sacks factory in Portland, Oregon. I was okay with the wait but very grumpy about the $300 delivery fee, which only transported the tile to the curb in San Francisco. I had to take an afternoon off of work to accept the shipment... on the street.
