I live in the San Francisco Bay Area of California where I adopt many roles as a mother, daughter, wife, gardener, former taxi driver (for her children), exercise instructor, indentured servant to many volunteer activities and domestic goddess (just kidding).
In 2010, Harriete has been inducted as an *Honorary Guest Member* of the Etsy Recyclers Guild Team. This means she is welcome to all benefits of the team, but is not obligated to participate in any official way..... Harriete wears many hats in her professional career, and is involved in a plethora of previous commitments. We appreciate her time and expertise, and thank for being an inspiration to reclaimers, recyclers, metal-smithers, artisans, and eco friendly artists everywhere.
