Living out of a Suitcase


I'm sorta a homebody, but it seems lately life has taken me for a wild ride cross country. I photographed stories in California and Des Moines for Flea Market Style Magazine, junked in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa and am headed to NYC this week. Whew!

Living out of a suitcase leaves little time for curling up in my favorite chair with a magazine and cup of french roast. Hotel rooms are all starting to look alike. And in case you are wondering, I do check for bed bugs!

What makes it all worth while? The wonderful people I am privileged to meet. Junkers are the best!
Cheers,
Ki

  1. I don't travel much, but I always try to stay at bed & breakfasts instead of hotels. Hope you make it back home soon, but glad you've been so successful!
    BTW, I interviewed you about 4 years ago for a magazine article (I'm sure you don't remember) for What's Up Annapolis magazine. I think they ended up putting the article on the web instead of in print. You were so nice and so full of great ideas!!

  5. Hi Ki...

    For three years I traveled between my job in Madison & my farm in Augusta -- living two nights a week in a hotel. My silver lining was that every week I got to have a homecoming -- when I would finally see the trees & the barn & the houselights (Dave would always light the house up for me) welcoming me back.

    Now I work where I live...which has been my dream come true. But I do miss that homecoming, and I try to never take home for granted.

    Clicking your heals works.
