All About Me :)

I'm a writer, artist, and botanist in the PNW (USA). I live between the ocean and the mountains with my partner and our adult son and daughter-in-law. We currently have one cat in the family, a little black cat named Yachiru.

My style has a strong cottage-core vibe with a touch of punk rock -- lots of vintage, primarily 1890s-1930s inspired, and a lot of tearing down the patriarchal establishment at the same time!

Kindness is everything! ♥

Languages

Native English speaker

Basic level French -- can read and understand spoken French better than I can speak or write it, but I'm still learning :)

Things I collect

  • Mushrooms
  • Gnomes
  • Zines
  • Small watercolor or embroidered framed art (like 4-by-4 inches and smaller)
  • Vintage pre-1940 cookbooks
  • Memorydex cards
  • ATCs

Favorite Colors

  • Most shades of green, especially those that evoke spring or those that make me think of autumn moss.
  • Lighter blues like Robin's egg.
  • Sunny yellows that make me think of flowers.

Things I Like to Send and Receive

♥♥♥ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING HANDMADE ♥♥♥

  • ATCs
  • Postcards
  • Vintage paper dolls
  • Dried flowers and foliage
  • Fabric, ribbon, and yarn scraps
  • Quilt squares - fabric, knit, embroidered, anything!

  • Swap cards
  • Embroidered items
  • Bookmarks (handmade only)

Dislikes, please do not send!

Comment: Thank you for the letter! Midsummer, wow - I never experienced those "never-ending days". But I also like the calm that comes with autumn and winter now. Wishing you a great remainder of autumn with hopefully lots of sunlight still :)
