Etsy Treasury ~ Shop Local, Santa Barbara, California

One of the things I love about Santa Barbara is the amazing talent you'll find here. If you don't believe me, pay us a visit or save yourself the airfare or the expensive gas costs and check out this Etsy treasury called Shop Local, Santa Barbara created by Sharon from sharonschock. Sharon featured my Chocolate Cupcake Soap in this treasury. Sharon creates incredible oil paintings. My favorite from her shop is The Night Light.

The Gap Fire continued

As of Friday, July 11th, the GAP fire is 75% contained. The skies of Santa Barbara and Goleta are blue again and the air quality is back to normal. My prayers go out to the firefighters that were injured and to anyone who has lost their home or the family members of someone who lost their life during the fire. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all the firefighters who helped fight this fire. I, we appreciate you more than you know!

The GAP Fire

Santa Barbara is in a local state of emergency right now which means we need all the resources we can get to help us fight the GAP Fire. The GAP Fire started on July 1, 2008 at around approximately 5:45 pm. As you all know, we are located in Santa Barbara. The area of Santa Barbara where we are located is keeping a watchful eye on the fire.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff and Fire authorities have issued a MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR THE RESIDENTS IN THE GLEN ANNIE AND LA PATERA CANYONS. An Evacuation WARNING has been issued for residents above Cathedral Oaks Road between Glen Annie Road and Fairview Avenue. An evacuation warning means that residents should be prepared to evacuate.

We at Serah's have not been forced to evacuate yet nor have we been given an evacuation warning. This is the second wildfire I have witnessed in Santa Barbara. Almost a year to this date, Santa Barbara experienced the Zaca Fire. The Zaca Fire was not as close to the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara as the GAP Fire is. Last night, the power went out around 7:30 pm and we were without power for about 3 - 4 hrs. I rode around town in my car and rode along Cathedral Oaks Road. Traffic lights were out everywhere and the only thing you could see was the lights from other cars and the flashlights of pedestrians. I felt in that moment that's what the Earth must have been like before electricity....so dark I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. As I rode down the road, it was hard to see pedestrians who were not wearing any kind of reflective material or carrying flashlights. As I got further along, I could see glimpses of orange light through the trees. In front of LaPatera Road, I parked my car and watched with other SB residents in utter shock as the fire burned brightly. Further down Cathedral Oaks Road, I saw what appeared to be the 10-30 feet flames that they mentioned on the internet and the news.

All I could do at that moment was pray that the firefighters contained the fire while saving the homes of those who had to evacuate and not suffering any casualties.
