My music collection is highly eclectic but I have to say, the music that I love most is either relaxing, the kind that lets your mind clear, or something that makes me want to jump up immediately and dance :)

Anything and everything Jane Austen, Sherlock Holmes stories and Edgar Allen Poe for fiction, all things mystery, history, ghostly, witchy and magical. Other favorites are the Anne books by L.M. Montgomery that I loved growing up.

Things that make me laugh - anything with music and dance, Period romances, mysteries and histories, all things Jane Austen or the Tudors, things that go bump in the night :)

I dream of restoring my mid century home to its original 50's-ness so I love watching Hazel, Leave-It-To-Beaver, Family Affair and the Andy show. Modern TV I love Bones, Elementary, Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, Rizzoli and Isles, Watson, historical documentaries, and the TWD sagas.

I’m obsessed with miniatures! Making them, collecting them.
Currently in a sewing, writing, and paper crafting phase, including scrapbooking but more-so love to do projects, altered art, and LOVE making and receiving handmade cards for all occasions. I am collecting rolos of all sizes with my favorite being the large 4x6 rolos. If we are in an ATC swap, feel free to create a rolo instead if you so desire, I will love it!

I have taken the Handmade Pledge so make or purchase mostly handmade gifts which has opened a whole new world of creativity in me :)

Currently OBSESSED with tiny garlands that can be hung in little nooks and inspire me. Forever obsessed with Halloween.

I also sew clothing and home goods from vintage and antique patterns and L-O-V-E that too.

I love to cook....and eat! A handwritten recipe card, especially a loved used or vintage one brings joy every time.

Entering into swaps I really look to improve and expand my crafting/artistic skills with challenges and projects I wouldn't set aside time to do if there were not a deadline.

Please don't stress about sending extras for me, though they are always appreciated, I give hearts and rate based on the swap item :) I will always rate as soon as I receive your item if you are able to do the same I would so appreciate it.

THANK YOU so much!

I love the holidays! We were asked to add some holiday prefs for group, NOT limited to these, but here are some favs :) Christmas- feel free to send religious themes and I love vintage Christmas reindeer themes, Over the Mountain and through the woods theme. Halloween- Vintage themes, headless horseman, witchy and Poe. St. Patty's Day- what's an Irish lass to do? Love things with the word lucky on them and four leaf clovers. Really love all the other holidays too! Anything vintage retro is always a favorite in any holiday theme.
