I am an artist, designer, and preservationist who lives to be a light for the Lord and to save old houses.
A dumpster diving germ freak by trade and obsession, I love to take something neglected and turn it into something truly beautiful. Along with rearranging furniture and deconstructing 1960's "home improvements," going IN to Krispy Kreme instead of using the "drive-thru" is one of my favorite forms of exercise! Currently, I am restoring a 1910 Frankenstein of a farmhouse and a 1919 Craftsman Bungalow. Oh, and I have a tiny little shop that features vintage goodies and pretty new things for you, your home, and baby!
...a long weekend at the cabin with my family, good friends, good food, the sea, the sand...and a warm fire.
Jeff, Big Denny, Tracy, Lorna, David, Sally, Little Denny, Julie, Bobby, Bryan, Cathy
Whidbey Island, Washington circa 1980-something
Update: My mom thinks this photo was taken in the mid-seventies. (I thought the shoes were too big for that) She also said that they were on the hearth recovering from a rainy day. That was just the first of many visits to the cabin.
Love that picture! Oh Julie, you are so sweet...thank you for the kind words you left for me the other day, I do hope Caighton has a few of her own memories of her grandpa. Your story really did help to make me feel better - thank you!
