BoudoirTea

Tadaaa!

I'm a crafty lady with a thinking feeling open mind. I live in Sweden with many many colorful snails and of course all of my plants!

My dear tea-darling Tareami and I are dreaming about starting a shop/café/webshop, meanwhile I'm starting my own little business!

I love doing things with my "near and dear", I get a kick out of thrifting for old stuff, from 1800-1960, playing board games, walking, trees and meeting for tea/coffee, I like bathing (especially with Lush). I also sing in a choir that mostly sings renaissance and I've just started dancing Lindy Hop.

I'm born and raised in Sweden, I'm half canary/half finish. My father moved back to The Canary Islands not long ago, my mother passed away 1996. I have 2 sisters with children.

I also have a sweet tooth for costume dramas!!! BBC...

I've also watched a lot of Sci-Fi I should say and I like horror/murdermystery/supernatural series and movies, but I'm not into Buffy or real gory ones like hostel etc, more ghostly and just enough gory..(vague huh)

I love books! I've read since the beginning of my time! Some of the authors I like; Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Carroll, Murakami, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Tove Jansson, Lewis Carroll, Michael Ende, GW Dahlqvist... I like old strange books (1850-1950) about how they thought you should look, be, think, act and so on.

I like classic fairy tales and old children's books; Lewis Carroll, Neil Gaiman, HC Andersen.. etc I like them dark like the brothers Grimm's, my favourites are

I make fascinator and various hair pharaphenalia(mostly with feathers and lace), bracelets made of textile materials and old photos of people from the 1920's-1930's. I love paper crafting, for example bookmarks, postcards, dioramas...

I like dark rich colours; black, dark blood red, dark green, plum, chocolate brown.. I also like blue/green and green/blue shades and I also like pale pink and turquoise. black & white patterns like stripes, dots, check pattern, retro 20s-60s pattern,

I don't like orange, yellow, peachy skintone shades:)

shabby chic-not my cup of tea

Don't like Winnie the Poo characters or other characters like that.

I don't smoke and I'm sensitive to strong perfumes/frangances that are unnatural, I don't know why but I manage almost everything from Lush & Bodyshop.

I'm not much for flower frangrances, I like "eatable" fragrances like coconut, cocoa, brazilnut, olive, cherry

I love liqorice, marzipan, good chocolate and nuts, loose tea and luxurious dark coffee and cocoa!

I'm a pescetarian! (I only eat fish/sea/vegetarian food)

Pretty please...I love sending/recieving hand crafted things, I put a lot of time and efford in the things I make, I hope you will do the same.

I love the winter and snow, it's fairytalish

That's all I think!
