Can't wait to have my own Airstream. In the meantime I could visit B-52's member Kate Pierson's wonderful getaway.
Right now I get to borrow my brother's. Getting closer every year!
Crazy Cool Talent

Artist Amy Duncan has an amazing eye for junk transformation. She creates wonderful pieces that seem to have lived another life-well I guess they have. First the junk then the art. Amy's blog helps you understand her better and her talent in the creative department. But with any blog one needs to keep it going (hint hint Amy). I know what a commitment a blog is.
I just found out that she has a book! I am telling you- she's brilliant!

Below are a few photos of treasures I have collected from her over the years.
This only skims the surface of all of the fab things Amy creates.

It is so hard to hear the personal stories of the devastation. Read this story of the women singing hymns in the night. On http://www.alertnet.org/ it says they have already buried 7000 bodies.

A wonderful home in Seattle's Magnolia area. Isn't it cute? 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Homes built in the 40's seem to have a ton of storage and this is no exception. There is an enormous room downstairs with built-ins for stuff. The yard is lovely and tranquil. Someone is going to be very lucky to have this little gem.
The before and after photos are amazing? It really shines with the staging.
This home is listed by a great real estate team Dawn & Correy from Mr. Magnolia.
