Hi Jamie -
Recently, my sister just became the director of
UCSB's Sedgwick Reserve, if you're ever out this way, you should check it out - it's an amazing place for research scientists, gardeners, artists and the lover of nature. I bet I could even set up a private tour!
It is amazing how many interests we all share in addition to the silver beauties. Gardening, junking, art, photography...
By far, my favorite thing to do is to comb flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores, and yes, even a dumpster or two now and then, to add strange, funny and unique things to my growing collections of previously-loved furniture, metal, glass, and well, stuff.
I also gleaned a love of art from my art professor father who taught printmaking at UCSB for almost 40 years. I love to sketch and water color and have even been pondering an idea to create airstream "portraits" for my friends (maybe I'll give my idea a whirl at the WC Women's Rally
.)
I'd love to learn to fly-fish too. Sign me up for a lesson or two!
