Welcome
Welcome to my website, I am Marcie, a recognised leading expert on gathering, processing, storing and cooking with acorns. I am the author of "Eating Acorns" as well as several research papers about acorns. My life on Kea is very far from my Silicon Valley upbringing and university experience at UC Berkeley. To document and share my experiences, I have also created a YouTube channel highlighting the unusual life of a native Californian living in Greece since 1984. The channel is a natural extension of my passion for storytelling and keen interest in video editing.
I offer a series of consulting services and produce a few unique products that I market in Greece and around the world. Most of my products can be bought online here at marciemayer.com!
Old Stone House Renovation
This is the first narrated compilation of my Old Stone House Restoration. Follow along as I talk about the ups and downs of completely renovating a 110 year old abandoned building. I can't believe I am the sole contractor on this project and I had almost forgotten just how much work we have done. This renovation series will re-start in the summer of 2023 and there's no better way to get ready than looking back at just what we have already accomplished! For more details of each step of the way, be sure to check out all the episodes in this old stone house series.
Doing it myself!
Isn't it fun to try new things out? I find that engaging in DIY projects can be an excellent way to learn new skills and gain practical knowledge while I explore new territories and stay creative. It is such a rewarding experience to acquire knowledge through hands-on work while I feel empowered to become more self-sufficient.
Along the way might get attached to a few favorite habits like weaving or making marmalade!
