* Pegboard wall memories in the basement woodshop * Little things like lures and old snaps- keep turning up around here in the most unexpected places. (Like the photo at far left- found stuck in the back of the original camp office desk drawer) #CollectingMoments #Campstyle

While restoring the Rathskeller, we found this still hanging on the wall. (The last day this calendar was flipped, It was David’s 9th birthday) nearly 40 years later his birthday wish would come true, to someday be the owner of his favorite place in the world. (We are never gonna flip this page.) #TimeStandingStill #DreamsComeTrue

The door to the “counting room” (now a bedroom). In 1925, the main lodge was designed so that one would have to get through 4 separate locked doors to walk from the public restaurant to access this little room.

It’s crazy how easy you can amuse yourself with a pile of fall remnants, paint pen & a jar of Malbec. (1 hour later and… BAM! @sweetpaulmagazine styling assignment ready to shoot). So geeked out, later on we hosted a workshop at the flagship @anthropologie to make a party out of it with a store full of folks)

Favorite memory: 9 months preg, (and too huge to even stand)…. painting Charliegirl’s nursery mural at camp (inspired by an old 1950’s paint-by-number). We added the baby deer to peek out around her crib (telling her later that it was to watch over her while she slept). She’ll outgrow this any day now, and we’ll have to paint over it with whatever she picks- (but maybe we’ll leave the baby deer peeking through to keep watching her)… And as a little reminder that the mommy deer will always be there too. (Even under all those new layers of fresh paint). #HiddenMemories
