FairySweet

Member since March 2007 (if I remember correctly)

I am a happily married crafty Canadian stay at home mom to a very sweet (FairySweet) two year old girl who rarely sleeps!

I am a pen and paper kind of girl, much to the dismay of my computer-y hubby. I am sleep deprived and well caffeinated. I wear a lot of black. I speak french. I recycle. I love to read. I make a mean cup of coffee and the best chocolate chip cookies you've ever tasted, if I do say so myself. I will share the recipe. I overuse smiley faces. I hate ironing, but I enjoy pressing fabric. I love history. I am terrible at describing myself.

I'd love a penpal...drop me a line sometime!

I enjoy looking at other swappers Etsy wishlists to get an idea of what they like. Mine is there only for that reason. Oh, and hints for my hubby. Those would be the expensive ones. ;)

Some other things i like: cupcakes, sweets, things shaped like food, novelty fabric & ribbon, kawaii, iron on transfers, all things happy & cute, history, vintage etiquette books, anything handmade with love, glass-glitter, children's books (ALL books really! -used to work in a library), skulls, spiders, owls, trees, bats, handbags & totebags, stickers, Arthur Rackham, Charles Addams, Edward Gorey, Roald Dahl, Harry Potter, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, My Little Pony, Nightmare Before Christmas, Muppets, Little House on the Prairie, Munsters, cartoons, paper goodies, fairies, mermaids, art nouveau, baby girl things, vintage, weird, Loch Ness monster, Sasquatch, retro, goth,...

Favorite color combos: cherry pink & lime green, orange and pink

Favorite colors: Pink, green, brown, lavender, black.

Please don't send: incense, candles, perfume (fruit & food scents are ok, just no florals please... allergies!)

• If you don't sew & need a Morsbag...let me know!

I rarely watch TV, but try to catch The Office, Big Bang Theory or Hell's Kitchen. Usually, I end up watching In the Night Garden or Yo Gabba Gabba! ;)

I adore food writing. Jeffrey Steingarten is my favorite. I "stole" his chocolate chip cookie recipe. I blame Steve Almond's "Candyfreak" for my addiction to Peanut Chews.

I love to read and would appreciate any recommendations. Have you read anything good lately?
