my husband has suggested to me over the years to move my studio to the larger spare bedroom. out of our 3 kids-only one remains at home- he is content with his room on the other side of the house and doesn’t care to upgrade to the larger room. the bedroom in question is my middle daughter’s who is living in san diego, going to school and working ful time. she has been there for 4 years-and loves it-in her words will not be coming back to “the valley” anytime soon. i always want all 3 of my children to know they can always come home-especially in these uncertain financial times.

last week, my son called me from work asking if i would be interested in an antique table. he works for a moving company-and this piece was unclaimed. he sent me a picture from his phone-a beautiful solid oak mission library table-about 7′ long (weighing about 200 + lbs.  so-the good thing is i have a new work table for my studio-and since it doesn’t fit in my current room i am moving. i called my daughter and got her ok- so monday i started the move. i am even amazed at how much “stuff”  i have piled into this 10′ x 12′ space-ay yi yi! i have vowed no flea market jaunts until i have sorted, moved and tidied both rooms. hopefully by the weekend i will be DONE! ( my camera is buried-which is a good thing-the pix would be scary)

i’ll be at the cactus gallery on sat night for the opening reception of “found 3″-hope to see some friendly faces.
