Woodhaven

We went to the Woodhaven nature conservancy today and ended up on a bit of a treasure hunt...

Space for ART!

ready to get messy! 

My studio is not tidy very often.  Had to document it!  It won't last.

Namaste

Enjoy your weekend!  I've been having fun in the studio.
Sneak peeks soon.

Just South of the border

We had a great few of days camping, hiking, and exploring near Twisp WA.
So beautiful.

treasures along the trail

Best dentist sign EVER!!  I love Dr.Nickell and I've never even met him!

Built to last.  So much eye candy on this trip.

Collecting drawers

I'm not sure what my fascination is with small drawers but seriously...... I just can't get enough
of them.
These are in a small book binders shop in Berkley, CA.
Check out the angled drawers to the left.

Close up of the pulls.  Great patina.  Good to see them still in use.

Oh la la!  Winthrop, WA.  at the Shaffer Museum.

sigh...  Hence the saying "different strokes for different folks".

Journey to the North country!

I have been out to my cousin flyfishing lodge.  

The original lodge was washed away in a flood after fifty years.  Sad....but now my amazingly talented cousins and their crew are rebuilding in a safer spot, a beautiful new lodge.  This window is from the old building.  It is now in the pantry door.  I'm inside the pantry taking this photo.  My gradpas hands installed this widow the first time in the original building.  It's nice to have some of the old with the new.

then a plane ride out of the Bella Coola valley

last but not least, by car to the beautiful Okanagan.  Home again, home again.
