...NOW!

Going about my day....

I am lounging on my bed, listening to Cat Power and am surprised that my venti iced coffee has not worked its magic yet....also, am thinking of you all. I just emailed Eleanor, ending with a note asking if she ever had days where she feels more grown up than others. I am having one of those...though I cannot quite ascertain why.

I just wanted to say that I enjoy thinking of you all and where our lives are leading (Jamie with her gigantic studio space and new finger adornment, Elly with her new job and internship, Lauren with her new creative position and Libby with her possibilities-which, we need to hear about by the way). My hands are currently covered in paint as I am working on an apartment sewing new curtains, painting furniture and generally re-arranging and purging.

I also wanted to give each of you an online present....

Jamie is off to MFA boot camp in the eastern winds of Connecticut. xoxo

3/5 Nesbit in Monterey.

Sydney and I arrived in Monterey last Thursday around 9pm, greeted Jamie, drank wine, spoke of men and went to sleep. Friday morning we went to the aquarium while Jamie worked and then got together for lunch, conversation and a road trip through Carmel. We had drinks with...



Kris! We met up again for coffee at ACME that next morning but in between, we headed to...



fine art base, a new, non-profit, gallery/studio space in Sand City in which Jamie is currently exhibiting Fear Out Front, a multi-media and interdisciplinary exploration of personal fears and how they are made manifest in communal interaction.








We then headed over to the National Steinbeck Center in who's next exhibition, From the Stone and Anvil:Arthurian Legend Exposed and Abstracted, Jamie is showing some new work which takes a bit after abstract painting...




We talked all night and needed more time, decidedly so.


Jamie is moving off to UConn in less than a few weeks, Sydney begins with a new design program soon, I am moving back to Madrid on August 17th, Libby is looking for a new place to live and Lauren has accepted a new store-design position at Athropologie... where shall we meet next?

Love, Elly
