Description: The fancifully decorated horse-drawn wagon is marked "Rural Route No. 3, Osseo, Minn[esota]." Rural free delivery carriers did not more than just transport mail. This unidentified carrier would have offered a functioning post office on wheels to customers. The carrier would have brought along stamps and stamped envelopes, money orders and other postal products for sale along the route.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: All of my California Barbie dolls were added to my collection when I was an adult. I found the doll on the left at an indoor flea market during the spring of 2012. I believe my sister and I might have bought her the same day as my boxed Twirly Curls and Secret Hero Mulan dolls. I specifically remember that both Colleen and I thought she smelled exactly like our grandmother when we bought her. Even though Barbie has been washed multiple times over the years, she still smells that way. I was attracted to this Barbie for multiple reasons. Obviously I recognized her obnoxious yellow, palm tree earrings and her polka dot swimsuit. I love collecting beach dolls--as odd as it may sound, it's typically the beach lines that make me drool the most. Being that Barbie was a beach doll from the 80s, I just couldn't say no! I'm ever so fond of her bright blue eyes and tacky curly bangs!
I bought my second California Barbie (second from left) at my local flea market during the spring/summer of 2013. Colleen and I spotted a heap of mangy looking 80s Barbie dolls on a table. Upon closer inspection, we realized just how pitiful the dolls were. They looked as if they had spent a decade locked up in a moldy garage or basement. We decided it was only fair to adopt all the dolls and provide them with a loving home. California Barbie was actually one of the dolls in the best condition, although she smelled really gross for quite some time (even after baths). She was lucky enough to come home with her boyfriend Ken, who was probably in even more disgusting condition when we adopted the group of dolls. I didn't realize it at the time, but my two California Barbie dolls are strikingly different from one another. My first, the lovely smelling lady, has a crisp, defined facial screening. Her sister, the smelly one, has a more blurry, classic 80s look to her face. While I find my first girl more attractive (and much more appealing to smell), I must say that my second gal is the one who most embodies what I love about the 80s Barbie faces!
Cali Barbie #3 was not much better off than my second lady. She is of course the gal on the far right. When I found her in a bin with other 80s dolls and an assortment of 2010s things, she was decapitated. In fact, quite a few of the dollies from the "Rolling Heads Bin" were detached in the same manner. California Barbie was lucky that her body was still present and the neck was not broken. The other ladies were not as fortunate. I found the container of dolls at the local flea market in May of 2021. Originally, we walked away when the seller gave us the price. However, the thought of the poor decapitated 80s Barbies weighed on my mind. I was also contemplating the presence of the Whitney doll, who I believed was the coveted Jewel Secrets version (I wanted her since 2011). We opted to finish the remaining aisles of the flea market and then return to haggle over the bin if we found nothing else. The seller ended up taking $2 off the price. California Barbie was quite the mess when I first saw her. The only thing she still had was her camera, which was being worn by another doll (I believe Mrs. Heart). At home, I had an entire outfit waiting for her, and I was able to reattach her head with ease. Her hair also cleaned up wonderfully. That faint odor of cigarettes fortunately went away too after the bath!
The fourth Barbie is rather unassuming at a glance. She has the same eye dots as California Barbie, but carries very differently. This is why I was sure she could not be that doll when I was researching Barbie in June of 2026. She was a stowaway we procured at the local flea market. A regular seller had a car with two guy dolls (the '57 Barbie Chevy) and a bag of assorted clothes and accessories. There were a few dolls hiding amongst the clothes. I didn't even see this gal until I was home. I initially thought she must be Cool City Blues Barbie (who has the same facial screening as California, but kanekalon hair and an overall slightly different look). She had pretty gross kanekalon hair upon arrival (it had that moldy, but not moldy look to it). She also no longer had her factory earrings. These were all issues that a spa day could easily solve. She's hardly recognizable anymore!
What made me realize my fourth gal was in fact from the California line was the acquisition of my fifth doll (far right). What were the odds that I'd find not one, but TWO California Barbies with kanekalon hair and different facial variations in the same flea market season?!!! This girly was part of the "Cool Times Ken Lot" we bought at the local flea market in October 2026. I knew she must be California since I found most of her original outfit in the same bin (and all the stuff for the most part made sense in context with itself). This is exactly why I love collecting Barbies from the 80s...they are so fascinating and you never know what new variation you'll stumble upon.

last year at artomatic 2008 neal and i started a "tradition" of "date night" at artomatic. there is so much art to see and it is hard to really view all in one time there. we decided that every wednesday we would go to artomatic for "date night". either we'd bring a picnic dinner, or last year bought food from one of our vendors (we hope "on the fly" will be back again...great food!).
we eat our dinner , usually on the floor where my art is (this year...9th floor right off the elevator) and then we would slowly walk around two floors. even though we would complete the floors so carefully, when we would return again to the floor (another "date night" night) we would see art we hadn't seen the first time. there is so much to see!
at our first "date night", may 14, we were able to look at all 8 floors as almost all of the 800 plus artists haven't started their installing of their work yet.
the 9th floor is planning a "artists get to know each other and celebrate the joy of aom" party.
i walked the 9th floor putting out advertisements for all the artists telling them about the party so they could join in.
after we did that we toured floors 8-5.
then a picnic dinner. then toured floors 4-2.
the busiest floors were 5 and 7. each floor had perhaps 10 artists working there.
i ran into a few folks i know (sean busy at work, veronica setting up, kevin and his grafetti, my partition mate lisa and her mosaics, to name a few). also met some new artists and admired the work of ben tolman.
neal and i will return next wednesday to "date" and have a look see. hopefully there will be more art up and ready...time is getting close!
day three of installation 1 may: the painting is done. the lights are up and today the art work was all hung, along with my name sign, business cards, and comment book for art loving patrons to write in.
neal and i were able to finish installing in three days! of course this is largely due to my wonderful neal who worked very hard to do the painting, lights and hanging the art.
and what did i do.......well.....i made the art and the picnic dinners and lavished praise and kisses on my great guy!
actually neal really enjoys doing all this. we have always, through out our marriage, worked well as a team and he likes "helpng out"...makes him feel part of the artomatic experience and also part of what i do in my llife as an artist. he is my biggest fan and supporter. knowing he is "in my corner" really aids in my creative processes!
in between hanging work we stopped for a picnic dinner.
now that i have finished hanging my work i can "relax", do my volunteer shifts and come to artomatic just to check up on my space and also see what the rest of the aom-ers are doing for install and get a sneak peek at the art work before the show opens.
the space turned out just as i had envisioned it. i am very pleased.
done with installation!!!!!!!!!!!!!
last year i painted my space lime green and it became known as "the lime green beast". this year i am painted my space orange. i wonder what it's "name" will be?
artomatic art show at new artomatic space...55 m st. SE, washington dc.
this is the space for one of my upcoming art shows...29 may to 5 july. artomatic is an art happening that occurs in the washington, dc area usually every year. this is the 10th year anniversary..so a special show. i have been in artomatic since 2007. there are around 800 artists that participate. not all are 2d artists. some are sculptors, musicians, dance, other performance artists (like fire eaters!), there is food, music, bars, and all sorts of happenings. it is one of the most popular shows in this area. all the art is for sale. i have had many good things happen to me art-wise with artomatic.
an artist can display anything they want. this year i will be showing my pastels.
the building is a new building under construction. the owner will let us have the art show there (FOR FREE...NO RENT) before he rents the building to businesses.
we built walls, partitions for artists to hang their work, rooms, stages, put in lighting, etc. all the artists do the work together.
it is great fun.
these are the partitions artomatic used in the artomatic '08 show. this year we turned the wood inside out...the surfaces from last year, that each artist painted/decorated to suit her/his artistic creation are now facing inward.
after artist selects their space they will begin to paint and hang their work.
following week:
i was very pleased to see a change since last wednesday. there were partitions painted, art installed, artists busy at work getting ready! though, give the 1000 plus aom artists, i'd say maybe only 25% or less was anywhere started (and very few actually completed). most of all the core wall spaces were totally untouched!
we visited 9-5 ( a good place to stop since that is where the bathrooms are! and yes, there is toilet paper...thanks to those who brought it).
then our picnic dinner, chatting with some of my space mates (glass folks), visiting with gerald, who stopped by while working his shift, to say hello and look at my work. we met gerald last year at aom '08. he makes fabulous africa masks. since that interests neal and i, and since we were, shortly after aom '08 ended, off to trek west africa, we had stopped to talk to him...and even if we weren't going to africa his masks are worth the look. this year gerald is on the 3rd floor. we are very pleased to see him again.
afterward we walked floors 4-2. had a fun talk with the fabulous paul of british ink as he was painting the outside of his space...in british flag colors of course!
we saw many new folks..stopped to talk about lights, partition colors, exciting art, etc.
observations:
the building is very noisy! the a/c "fans" that blow are deafening! neal and i had to shout, at times, to hear each other. this issue was raised during an epm meeting. it was put forth, by some, that once the building filled with artists and art loving patrons, the noise would be absorbed by all the people. i am really skeptical. i hope i am wrong as i personally find the noise very annoying and the thought of 1000 plus artists and all the visitors shouting at each other to be heard doesn't sound appealing....a cacophony of noise!!!!!!!
as mentioned before.....the installation seems to be only 25% done.........and less than that totally finished.......i am sure it will all be finished on time, but the mind boggles at the crowds at the loading dock, freight elevator, trouble parking after unloading due to nationals games........
orange, as a partition color, seems to be very popular this year. at least i had the first orange...and probably the only one with a name (vote vote vote). in fact, one artist, in my row space, painted her wall orange....you can see my wall and then near the window hers. i trust my family and friends that i tell "get off the elevator at 9, go immediately south west. my space is the orange wall right off the elevator" will not be confused headonwall
many artists "expanded" their space by hanging projections of signs sticking out from core walls into the walk way. others "expanded" their space by having projections coming off of the cement columns. (some, it seemed to me, encroaching on their partition mates). one artist, on a lower floor, who must have a space in front of the window, covered all the windows, top to bottom, with heavy black material...that made all the partition spaces there look as if they were in the dark. i fear it will be very hard to see their art. cores walls, i thought were suppose to be painted white or off white. i saw a brown core wall (true a light brown, but?). supposedly cement columns not to be painted or used for art...but i saw columns painted and art hung on them (i may not be up to date on the
"why" of that).
an amusing sight....an artist painting her core wall in her bra! neal was a gentleman and averted his eyes.
the line of cars to get to the loading dock stretched around the corner and down the block! the cars were 4 across and three deep at the loading dock itself! i have no idea how long the wait was for the freight elevator as i didn't use it.
we had a wonderful "date night". great aom energy. a lovely way to spend the evening.........we will "date night" next tuesday since aom will be closed wednesday in anticipation of the opening 29 may!!!!
starting april 29 artomatic artists will be installing their work.
the show runs 29 may-5 july.
the show runs 29 may-5 july.

Strangely, this isn't her father.
First gig of the year turned into a bit of a date night — Midlake at The Firestation in Sunderland, and I was there with a new man, well not new exactly, he's part of Larry's circle of friends who I happen to share a love of live music with, which instantly made everything feel a bit more electric.
We headed to the venue with that giddy little feeling of ooh, this could be something.
We stood close near the front, and during the slower numbers he held me in, warm and steady, like it was the most natural thing in the world. The music washed over us, and for once I wasn’t overthinking anything — I was just there, tucked against him, letting the night happen.
Afterwards we stepped back out into the cold, that sharp January air sobering us up a little as we walked away from the lights and noise. On the metro home we sat shoulder to shoulder, talking quietly about how good Midlake had been, quietly in that soft, happy way, the kind where the conversation flows easily
Then as we closed in on whitley Bay, right before we headed our separate ways, he pulled me in and kissed me, not a quick peck, but a proper, lingering, breath-stealing kiss that made the whole night feel like the start of something. And when we finally broke apart, I walked away smiling into the cold like an absolute idiot… already planning the next gig!
