People who end up in Sausalito live there for one of two reasons;
1) They have more money than they know what to do with and prefer to live isolated lives on the hills above the town,
or 2) They are dirt poor and came to the houseboat communities to find a peaceful place to explore their creativity.

Heather Wilcoxon is an artist who came -- and stayed -- over thirty years ago. And so did her Gremlin -- which I suppose didn't start one morning and has been sitting there ever since, gathering a wide assortment of little plastic toys and a rather strange assortment of old worn-out dolls.

Well, hell, why not pose a princess inside a bicycle rim embellished with shiny compact discs?   Goes perfect with the blue dinosaur plate, I think.

Quite an assortment of Legos, but I think the main attraction here is the scene going on in the upper left corner of the photo.
