Some of my favorite things

Mail

Books!

My back garden

sock monkeys
Sock Monkeys: I made the one in the background for my friend and when she died, he came back to me. He's very old. The one in front was made by a student a MICA (Maryland Institute and College of Art) and I couldn't resist buying it, with it's little hot glue tear by it's eye.
My piano

NRRA salt water pool

My studio & making Mail Art

typewriter
 I brought my old machine out recently and was able to get new ink ribbons for it. It reminds me of other times and places and is fun to use, though I have to relearn how to use it - sloooowly I type my words.

Your outdoor space is lovely. Also, have you been to MICA? It's a cool part of town.

I was at Mica a couple of times, being on the portfolio review crew from VCU. I liked it, the area was terrific, plus I could get our daughter something with her name on it (Mica)
