Cabootique

My name's Cary. I love art, crafting, anything to get the creativity flowing. I make jewelry, paint, knit...and dabble in a few other things. Would love to learn metalsmithing some day! Dancing (tap, ballet, jazz, etc.) and music (singing, piano, guitar, bass) are huge passions of mine. I like all things vintage and love thrifting.

Just a side-note: If you have not received a swap from me, please contact me before rating me poorly. I will be glad to resend anything that gets lost in the mail (but hopefully that will never happen!)

Showtunes. (Yeah! Broadway stuff. Am I the only one? :]) I love folk music, rock, punk, ska, classical, blues...I'll give anything a chance, really. Current obsessions: The Spring Standards, The Doors.

I love to read. I usually end up reading multiple books at a time. I will give anything & everything a try. I really like New Age stuff.

Illusion, Amerikana, The Invisibles, Newsies, SLC Punk, Sweeney Todd, A Knights Tale, Beethoven Lives Upstairs, The History Boys. I love off-beat indie flicks, musicals, comedies. Anything that makes me think or laugh.

LOST. First, and foremost, basically because of Ben. :] I'm obsessed. I have a soft spot for creative reality shows (Project Runway, Top Chef). Other random favorites include: How I Met Your Mother, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Class, The Big Bang Theory, The Office (UK), IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Modern Family, The Deep End, Boy Meets World.
