-
Host an epic Sailormade clam bake.
-
Be a ski bum again.
-
Continue to find a little joy in each and every day!
I often talk about the story your Sailormade jewelry holds. I know the moments my everyday pieces have captured from the last five years-- from my first trade show to an incredible long weekend in Vieques, Puerto Rico, from three different jewelry studios in SOWA to an epic North Beach end of the summer party, and so much more. I'm not taking these pieces off until they fall off (and I can assure you they will not!). I can't imagine what stories they will be able to tell on the precipice of my 40th birthday.

To plan a decade long bucket list is too much for my brain, but if I could pass my optometry board examinations and move to Florida into an apartment with my girlfriend, I would feel pretty damn fulfilled.
You have a really impressive bucket list. I want to go to Hawaii. I want to purchase a summer home in either Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina. I also want to learn to speak fluent Spanish and French.
One of my bucket list items is to travel to Ireland! Happy Birthday!
We have a few in commons but so impressed with the ambition and have no doubt you will succeed in reaching many of these
I would like to write a friction book (I have started a few times), travel to Spain, see the green just as the sun crosses the horizon, see the aurora borealis, sail on an America”s Cup sailboat, spend a(long weekend in Newport and have cocktails at Castle Hill Got a little carried away but you inspired me!

Hoping to hike the Pacific Northwest Trail from Glacier National Park to Olympic National Park.
Visit Paris!
Retire to Greece.
To be able to take the time away from work, to drive across the country with my best friend who I only see once a year, ( not this year; thanks COVID), to see the Grand Canyon and hike through Yellowstone.
live in paris for a year:)
Travel – a safari, Machu Pichu, and the Azores (we were all ready to go March 2020 – that of course didn’t happen!). In the meantime, I would settle for spending many uninterrupted days sewing upcycled wool sweaters.
I went to Glacier National Park last summer and now I am itching to get to see all the national parks!! 😁
Travel! I want to see England and arrange to shoot a longbow like Robin Hood. I would like to visit Iceland and ride Icelandic horses and see how skyr is made in its country of origin. Some hot spring time would be amazing too.
Attendant an epic Sailormadeusa clam bake and travel South America!
Top of my bucket list is a trip from Eastport, ME all the way down the East Coast to Key Wesr, FL, stopping at all the lighthouses and wildlife sanctuaries along the way.
A trip to Italy.
Purchase a vacation home in North Carolina.
Learn another language.
My bucket list includes a trip to Victoria Falls
