I'm Angie Allen, Reno (NV) girl, stationer and mom to Jack and Kate. This blog is a peek inside my studio. From my love of paper and design to kids coloring on the studio floor, share the triumphs, frustrations and inspirations of a family-run stationery studio. I hope to inspire you to follow your own passion through art, photography and family joy... (more)
As I write this, a booming city of 50,000 is thriving in the Black Rock Desert north of Reno. Burning Man, an annual, participant driven arts and culture festival comes alive for one week every September, then its citizens vanish, leaving no trace. I have never been, but have heard many tales told by family and friends. Art, community, desert. A dream for a Nevada girl with a camera.
If you’d like a taste of Burning Man, you can live vicariously through the internet. Read more about what it is, view art installations, browse amazing photos and watch a webcast live from the playa. The Man burns September 4th. You can watch it live on the webcam feed below.
This week’s Reno Revealed features Etsy Shop owner, Gayleen Eichensehr. Gayleen and I worked together as oncology RNs for many years. She is now a close family friend and one of those people who can always make me laugh. She’s a self professed Etsy addict and has a keen eye for finding talented artists.
Gayleen’s shop, Mailbox Treasures, sells incredible handcrafted mailboxes created by her neighbor, George. George brings reclaimed wood items to life then skillfully hand draws and paints details such as wood grain and cracks in window panes. His mailboxes a truly a wonder of craftsmanship and artistry.
Tell us about yourself and your relationship with George…
George and his wife Liz moved in next door about 2 years ago. At first I was a little hesitant to meet him because I knew my dogs were annoying him. They would sit on the other side of the chain link fence that divides our property and bark at him as he worked in his garage.
Eventually the dogs settled down and we all became friends. George is the perfect neighbor! Last summer he helped us add a fantastic bench to our deck.
Tell us about George and his mailboxes
George is a finish carpenter and a pen and ink artist. Over the years has made a business out of owning/operating antique shops and restoring antique furniture. He has been fortunate to live in some pretty great places such as Aspen Colorado, Helena Montana and most recently Hailey, Idaho where he lived for 30 years and he and his wife raised their two sons.
One day I looked outside and George was cementing in a post for a mailbox he had built. It was built to resemble a farmhouse. I fell in love with it. For my birthday I got the surprise of my life when unbeknownst to me my boyfriend, Bruce, asked him if he could build me a chicken themed mailbox (we have a tiny flock of backyard hens)and this is what I got.
When I saw that he had built a couple more to sell out of some incredible material such as a reclaimed church pew and a vintage cedar dresser I told him that Etsy would be the perfect online venue. The only problem was that George does not have internet and had no idea what Etsy was. I did a little research (I already spend an embarrassing amount of time on Etsy) and MailboxTreasures was born!
What have you learned about selling on Etsy?
I learned that it takes a village to open an Etsy shop! When it took me two days to make the shop banner I knew I needed help! I couldn’t have done it without the help of fellow Etsians Mary of MB Art Studios (another neighbor) and Angie (that’s you!) of Jumping Jack Designs, who I have known since nursing school. Mary has been encouraging me to make my shop photos more mysterious so I have included my attempt at mystery here…
Now I need to convince George to leave the mailboxes alone after I post them! George is an artist that is never finished and but I am only a beginner photographer so it is excruciating to re-photograph them. I am working on my photography skills but I have a long way to go. And on Etsy it is all about the photos!
Do you have a favorite Etsy shop?
Love the jewelry at LisasLovlies. She is an incredibly talented silver smith.
Gayleen: Love going to the dog friendly Chimney Beach at Lake Tahoe. Every friday night we can be found at El Adobe Mexican Restaurant for the best margaritas in town, but I most like hanging out on my deck with good friends and a cold glass of Splash!

This is a very belated post thanks to my natural inclination to procrastinate. I hope it is worth the wait. A few weeks ago we took the kids on a road trip to San Francisco. A short 4 hour drive from Reno, it’s a perfect place for a quick family getaway.
Pete and I have always loved San Francisco for it’s fantastic restaurants, theater and shopping. This was our first trip with kids, so we did a little pre-planning. In the weeks leading up to our trip, we talked with the kids about the many, many things we could do from the most obvious tourist attractions to secret local treasures. Together, we narrowed our options down to a “Top 5 Wish List”.
1. Ride the bus. There may have been some subliminal messaging from mom on this one. San Francisco is a great city to navigate using public transit. We parked our car in the garage when we arrived and didn’t think about it once until we headed home.
I had the kids pumped to ride the bus, read maps, and ask questions of fellow communters and bus drivers if we were unsure of the best route possible. It turned out to be more fun than expected. The kids loved looking for stops, pointing out streets and landmarks they had seen before and engaging with locals. The highlight was Kate being serenaded by an elderly chinese man. She was shy and embarrassed, but loved every second of it.
2. Go to the Beach My kids’ idea of the beach is Lake Tahoe: sunny, warm and no surf. Little did they know, beaches in northern California are chilly and the surf will “chase you”. Our first afternoon in town, we headed to Baker Beach to play and enjoy a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a beautiful stop. Next visit, I plan to spend an afternoon relaxing and playing there. It would be a perfect spot to fly a pocket parafoil kite (we found ours at REI). I’ve heard rumors of nude sunbathers frequenting the beach, but it was too chilly when we were there for that sort of frivolity.
3. The Exploratorium Yeah! My favorite childhood destination, ever? The Exploratorium. It is a hands on museum of “science, art and human perception”. If you have the slightest interest how things work and why, you will love this place. It’s for fun kids and adults alike. In fact, one of my all time favorite dates with my husband was a trip through the Tactile Dome.
We spent a full day exploring, playing and laughing our way through the Exploratorium. Kate’s favorite part was the Mood Lighting Exhibit. Jack’s favorite was the Tactile Dome. Here is more about it from the original 1971 press release:
In layman’s terms, it is beyond cool. It had such an impact on Jack, he and Kate now play “Tactile Dome” by setting up obstacle courses in their rooms and turning out all the lights. If you plan to go through the Tactile Dome, be sure to make a reservation before arriving. Reservations can be made for visitors ages seven and up at (415) 561-0362.
4. The De Young Art Museum Again, some serious parental peer pressure on this one. My kids are a bit young for an extended visit to a museum that’s not hands-on, but I’m a big proponent of introducing young children to the world of art.
The DeYoung Art Museum in Golden Gate Park was hosting the exhibit Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay which I just had to see. I knew it would be a challenge with kids, so a few weeks before we arrived, I printed them each a booklet with printouts of the paintings we would be seeing. When we arrived, we made our trip through the exhibit a game. You know, “Who can find The Fife Player?” Overall they did well. Kate’s favorite piece was The Ballet Class by Edgar Degas. Jack’s favorite, The Birth of Venus by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. I must say she was spectacular – all 9 feet 10 inches of her.
While the kids behaved and tolerated our visit to the impressionist exhibit, they loved the African Art collection. Full of sculpture, masks, totems and idols, they were fascinated. The only visitors there were us and a security guard making our visit feel like a VIP experience.
5. The Aquarium I’m pretty sure there is an unwritten law stating families with kids under age 10 must visit an aquarium on vacation. Thankfully, across from the De Young is the California Academy of Sciences, an aquarium, planetarium and rainforest bio dome all under one roof. For the kids, the highlight was watching an albino alligator take a nap. For me it was the four story rain forest bio dome. To top it off (ha!), the building has a Living Roof which was spectacular to explore.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to enjoy the planetarium because the tickets had sold out by the time we reached it. If you go, be sure to get your Planetarium tickets as soon as you arrive.
Lastly, food and lodging. For this trip, instead of renting a hotel room, we tried a rental property in a residential neighborhood and boy are we glad we did! Our house was a traditional San Francisco style home built in the 1920′s. Maintained by friendly and helpful local owners, it was clean, comfortable and oh-so-convenient. It had a full kitchen, garage and a stunning backyard space. Close to bus lines and one block from a full grocery store, it was a snap to get anywhere in the city and a cozy place to land at the end of a busy day. I highly recommend it if you are visiting SF with kids. It’s good for the soul and the pocket book to have a home cooked meal at the end of the day and space to unwind as a family.
We ate our breakfasts and a few dinners at home, but no trip to San Francisco is complete without enjoying local eateries. My personal favorite was Paplote, a neighborhood mexican grill a few steps from our house. I ate a chicken mole burrito that was to die for and they served the best salsa I have ever tasted. Mmmm. We also enjoyed a traditional meal of clam chowder and San Francisco made Anchor Steam beer. Yum.
As with any big city, there are a gazillion and nine things to do. These are just a handful from our quick getaway. If you’ve been to San Francisco, please share your favorite hotspots. We’ll add them to our future top 5 wish list!

Next week: Gayleen and George, next door neighbors behind Mailbox Treasures.
July is Artown in Reno, a month long celebration of the arts in Northern Nevada. This year, city councilman Dave Aiazzi spearheaded the RePIANO Project. Fifteen recycled pianos were artistically embellished then placed in random outdoor locations around the city.
My kids were giddy playing the piano their granddad found at Newlands Circle Park in Old Southwest Reno. It is the artistic creation of Susan Morris, a local mosaic artist. Ever wonder if Reno is a great place to live? Just look at the expression on my daughter’s face for the answer. Words can’t express the joy of finding a piano in a park.
For more about the project, I’ll let Dave Aiazzi and Susan Morris tell you in their own words:

Reno residents know the last two weeks in July are the hottest of the year. Thankfully we are spoiled by the beautiful Truckee River. It is Lake Tahoe’s only outlet, winding 140 miles through Truckee and Reno to Pyramid Lake. Its clear, cool water is unbeatable on a hot summer day.
Last Sunday we headed up to Tahoe City for a lazy day of rafting. When I say lazy, I’m not exaggerating. We rented a raft, plopped ourselves in the river and let it carry us five miles to the River Ranch. Technically speaking, this section of the river has some rapids. They were just enough to excite the little ones in our party. I suspect this may vary depending on the amount of water being released from the Tahoe City Dam.
The river was filled with families playing in the shallow sections, looking for beaver dams, having squirt gun wars and just enjoying a day together. After our 2 hour float, we hopped on the bus provided by the rafting company and headed back to Tahoe City for lunch. We all walked away happy. The kids were begging to come back next week and the dads were grinning from ear to ear. As a mom, I had a great time and relished the fact that there was very little prep. I packed sunscreen, hats, water and squirt guns and my job was done.
If you bring your own raft, be sure to have two cars or be prepared to hoof it back to Tahoe City. There is a great bike trail along the river. If you have your own raft or tube and want to stay closer to town, there are several rafting spots in Reno. A favorite hotspot is on Mayberry Drive near the Patagonia Outlet. The water is much faster there and isn’t little kid friendly. It attracts more of a singles crowd than Tahoe City. Whichever rafting spot suits your fancy, be sure the spend at least one summer day floating on the beautiful Truckee River.

I love Reno in the summer. There are so many fun and unique things to get out and experience. My favorite summer event, hands down, is the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. The festival takes place every July and August in the sandy amphitheater at Sand Harbor.
The amphitheater is surrounded by towering pines, granite boulders and gorgeous views of the Lake and the eastern Sierra. The setting is to die for. Everyone arrives early to enjoy dinner before the show. You can pack your own cooler or order a gourmet meal from Shakespeare’s Kitchen. Scheduled for this summer is The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and the Sand Harbor Music Series.
I’ve been to the festival 19 times in the last 21 years. (Those darn newborns kept me home in 2003 and 2005.) I was 16 the first year I went. The theater was sold out, so my friend Cheryl and I kicked back on a granite boulder, watched the sunset, gazed at the stars and listened to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This year, Pete and I sprang for comfy cushioned adirondack seats. Every year, be it rock, sand or adirondack, it has been a magical experience.
We saw The Complete Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) last Saturday night. I can honestly say, it was the funniest play yet. It was brisk, engaging, and laugh-out-loud funny. As a Shakespeare lover, I enjoyed every minute. As someone who tolerates Shakespeare for the sake of the marriage, my husband loved it, too!
In their 38th season, the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival is only running one play, but they plan to add more in the years to come. In our current economic times, professional theaters are struggling to keep their doors open. Many independent companies are banning together to survive the difficult times. This is director, Charles Fee’s inaugural season. He is also the artistic director for the Boise Shakespeare Festival and the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland. By sharing our resources, mounting an assertive capital campaign and spreading the word about the value of the theater, our beloved festival will survive.
So tell your friends. Go see the show. Forego that new pair of jeans and donate your savings the festival. It’s time we all go out to support the theatrical gem that is the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival.

Last Wednesday night was the kick off of one of my family’s favorite summer activities. UNR Pack Picnics on the Quad happen once a week on the UNR campus. This free summertime treat is sponsored by the UNR Alumni Association (Yeah, Go Pack!!). It begins in July and runs every Wednesday evening from 6-8 through mid August.
If you haven’t been to the Quad, it is truly a beautiful place. Big shady trees planted 100 years ago frame the cool grassy space. For me, it brings back many joyful memories from childhood and my years as a student at UNR. Picnics on the Quad are family friendly, free, and a great place to meet old friends.
There is live music, face painting, bounce houses and toy fishing to keep the kids entertained. Our family packs a picnic dinner, a blanket and beach chairs. We spread out, kick our shoes off and enjoy a cool, shady evening. The kids always find friends from school, devour free watermelon and popcorn, and run barefoot through the grass. Really, it’s a terrific way to spend a summer evening.
The 2010 Summer Schedule ::: I hope to see you there!
July 7–Sol’Jibe (Pictured above is Milton Merlos playing with Sol’Jibe)

I’m happy to introduce you to a dear family friend and cookie aficionado, Erin Aldrich. In 2008 Erin began her Peace Corps journey in Romania. She chose to continue her adventure with a transfer to China. After a few weeks home, she is headed there now. We will miss you, Erin. Safe travels!
As a side note, Reno’s Artown festivities began this week. Artown is a month long celebration of the arts in Northern Nevada. A printable calendar of events can be found here. Be sure to follow them on Twitter for all the happenings. Reno is Artown!
Tell us about you. We want details…
I was born and raised in Carson City and moved to Reno when I was 18 for school. Other than a year long stay in Eugene, Oregon, and my years with the Peace Corps, I have not lived outside of this area and plan to keep it that way. In college, I studied Geographic Information Systems and established my love for maps and map-making, which made up my first “real” job. After about a year in that line of work, I realized it wasn’t a good match for me and got the itch to travel. A few hours of internet research and several months of applying led to an invitation to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Romania from 2008 to 2010. I am now in the process of transferring to the China program as an English teacher. When I have some spare time, I pass it by practicing the piano, reading, hiking, writing, taking pictures, baking cookies or going for long walks.
What does the Peace Corps experience mean to you?
The Peace Corps experience means going outside of your comfort zone on a daily basis. It means being ready and willing to take on roles you never before imagined you would fill and being surprised by just how adaptable you are. It means opening your mind to new ways of thinking and trying to understand how cultures can be so different. Most importantly, it means new friendships with people you would have never met otherwise and making the most of your short time with them.
Tell us about your time in Romania
In Romania, I was considered an Environmental Youth Volunteer and originally my main role was to work with the local Covasna County Environmental Protection Agency on public relations and nature conservation projects. My Geographic Information Systems background came in handy and I was able to help some staff get up to speed on mapping software and techniques. I also taught a beginning English class to a few staff members. Over time, though, my main focus turned towards the local high schools where I started and ran a drama club with two English teachers and worked on an American Corners project with a high school’s librarian. The drama club, although it was a secondary project, swiftly became my favorite and most rewarding project in Romania. The best part, however, was not completing any projects; it was getting to know a few locals as close friends and participating in their culture.
Tell us about your upcoming assignment in China
In China, I will be teaching English as a foreign language to college students who hope to one day become English teachers themselves. The size of the cities that volunteers serve in range from 500,000 to 15 million people, which will be a big adjustment for me after serving in a city of 60,000. Training will be held in Chengdu and will last two months. During that time, we will learn how to speak Chinese, how to adapt to the culture, how to stay safe and healthy and we will also have a teaching practicum. After training, my fellow 90 trainees and I will be sworn in and move to our sites, which are all within three provinces surrounding the Chengdu region. The idea of transferring had never crossed my mind until another volunteer in Romania told me about her plans to transfer to Nicaragua, but I am so glad we had that conversation. I can’t wait to embark on Peace Corps Part II!
What aspect of your job brings you the greatest satisfaction?
By far, the best part of serving as a volunteer, for me, is getting to know locals and forming real friendships with them, not just friendships that are based on me being foreign. It takes a long time, sometimes two years, to earn the title “friend” in a new country. Getting beyond the initial relationships that are made up of showing me the sites or me providing entertainment with my funny Romanian grammar skills is a challenging but rewarding step. The moment the conversation with a local friend turns from me and where I’m from, what I’m doing and what I think of the country to them and their ideas is the sweetest.
What advice to you have for others considering volunteering for the Peace Corps?
Living in a different country for two years is not a straightforward endeavor and is full of highs, lows and all kinds of unexpected twists, but the Peace Corps helps to smooth the path for volunteers so they can feel comfortable and productive in their new surroundings. It is a wonderful way to fully experience a new culture while providing the country with the help they have requested. If you’re considering it, the application process typically takes about a year, so get started and see where it takes you. Visit www.peacecorps.gov and check out your options!
Do you have a favorite Reno hotspot or event?
While I’ve been back, I’ve gone to Bibo on Mount Rose Street six or seven times, making it my most frequented establishment. I truly missed it and the American coffee culture while I was gone and am taking every opportunity to order a coffee from the always awesome staff. As for events, my favorite has always been the Great Reno Balloon Race, especially the dawn patrol and mass ascension. It’s a photographer’s paradise and is definitely worth waking up before dawn to see.

Next week: UNR Pack Picnics on the Quad. They kick off next Wednesday night (July 7th) with Sol Jibe. I’ll be the one with the camera and the dancing kids.
Young Chautauquans: Michael Sprinkle as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Emma Benedict as Harriet Quimby and Coryna Samon as Winston Churchill
I’m a little behind on this one, but I couldn’t let Chautauqua (June 22-26) go by without giving a BIG shout out to its sheer awesomeness. Every June, Nevada Humanities puts on a week long historical and theatrical extravaganza. I’ve been to Chautauqua every year since I was a student at UNR in the early 90′s. In 1992, Thomas Jefferson scholar, Clay Jenkinson, came to Reno from North Dakota and began the Nevada Chautauqua we know today.
As a side note, I have to brag… I had Dr. Jenkinson as my professor for a small summer session humanities class in 1993. Every morning, for four weeks, a handful of us sat in a circle discussing 19th and 20th century American literature (for credit!!). It was the single best experience of my academic career.
So, what is Chautauqua? I borrowed this explanation from this year’s official program:
“The Chautauqua format is simple: a performer, in the guise of a historical figure such as Babe Ruth or Julia Child, tells “first-hand” stories about important episodes in the character’s life. After the monologue, the audience and performer engage in a lively give and take. Finally, the performer emerges from character to respond to questions that could not be answered in character. Nevada Humanities Chautauqua was created by Nevada Humanities in Reno in 1992 and is one of the longest running Chautauqua festivals in the country.”
In addition to adult performances, the Young Chautauqua Program gives local children and teens an incredible opportunity to be part of the Chautauqua experience. Participants choose characters who intrigue and inspire them. For the five months leading up to their performances, they research every detail of their new persona so they can create an accurate and confident portrayal.
The Young Chautauquans blow me away every year. Performing under the big tent, they captivate an audience of children and adults. My favorite part is the question and answer session. I am always amazed the by the insightful questions asked by the kids in the audience and the graceful answers given by the young performers. If you have a chance to see them in action, it is a wonderful treat.
Throughout the week there are many more events around town. Yesterday, the kids and I went to the Sierra View Library for a Sing Along with David Fenimore as Woody Guthrie and Tim ??? as Pete Seeger. (I’m actively looking for the identity of Pete Seeger’s alter ego. Stay tuned!) Jack and I will be seeing David Fenimore perform Woody Gutherie Friday night at the Hawkins Amphitheater.
The schedule of events around town can be found HERE.
I hope you have a chance to take in a one or two performances this year. It is an interactive and entertaining experience you won’t forget. Below is information about the remaining performances scheduled for the week.
Young Chautauqua takes place under the tent at Bartley Ranch from 9:30 a.m to noon. The remaining schedule:
Thursday, June 24 :: Rachel Carson, Richard Feynman, Marie Curie, Norman Borlaug, Gilda Radner, Harpo Marx, Groucho Marx and Annie Oakley
Friday, June 25 :: Anne Frank, Margaret Mitchell, L. Frank Baum, Margeurite Henry, The Queen Mother, Coco Chanel, Fannie May Salter and Jim Beckwourth
Thursday, June 24 :: Bonnie + Clyde, Emma Nevada and Babe Ruth Friday, June 25 :: Paul Roberson and Woody Guthrie Saturday, June 26 :: Joe Louis and Julia Child

I’m kicking off summer with an ode to Lake Tahoe’s beautiful Sand Harbor. For locals, it’s a short 30 minute drive from Reno. It has sandy beaches, picnic facilities, a boat launch, amphitheater and new this year, the Char Pit Restaurant.
While the “amenities” are great, the true value of Sand Harbor is it’s pure and simple beauty. Soft sand, panoramic lake views, stunning sunsets and towering granite boulders make it nature’s perfect playground. I sound like a travel ad, but it’s true. It is amazing. Every visit I am still struck by its beauty.
Our family (me) prefers to avoid crowds and the midday sun. We pack a picnic dinner and head up late in the afternoon. By then, most beach goers have gone home and we have the place to ourselves. The kids spend hours digging in the sand, swimming, flying kites, climbing granite boulders and hunting for crawdads. We eat dinner on a blanket, enjoy the sunset, then head home for a restful night’s sleep. It’s the perfect way to forget the stresses of the day or reboot a sour attitude. It works for kids and adults alike.
If you don’t want to pack a meal, the Char Pit Restaurant is new this June. I haven’t tried it myself, but it’s operated by the family who runs the Char Pit in King’s Beach, which opened as a burger stand in 1962. There is also a snack bar with treats and drinks. If you’re coming with little explorers the snack bar sells crawdad nets – a great investment, trust me!
The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, my favorite summer event and the ultimate date night, takes place at Sand Harbor. The amphitheater is surrounded by towering pines, granite boulders and gorgeous views of the Lake and the eastern Sierra. The setting is to die for. Everyone arrives early to enjoy dinner before the show. You can pack your own cooler or order a gourmet meal from Shakespeare’s Kitchen. And while you eat, singing minstrels will entertain you. Scheduled for this summer is The complete works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and the Sand Harbor Music Series. If you are planning a trip to the area between July 9 and August 22, this is the one thing you must fit in your schedule. It’s fantastic.
It’s hard to convey the beauty and joy of Sand Harbor through a blog post. It truly is an inspiring place. The photos in this post were taken by me. If you want to see shots that do it justice, check out these incredible images on Flickr.
