About Me

Hello! I just love the idea of creating and sending random and well thought out gifts to people.

I've been a seller on Etsy for a couple of years, making jewelry, fun accessories, and items for one's home.

I'm a civil engineer by day, and a crafter/creater by night!

Favorite Books

The Dalkey Archive and The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien

Anything by David Saderis

Anything by Dave Eggers

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Favorite Pet

my cockatoo Cukor (pronounced Q-Kor) who is the most wonderful little creature in the world. He laughs at jokes before the punchline, and scolds feet as if they were misbehaving children by alternating biting them, then cooing at them.

Favorite Stuff

I love anything with a vintage twist. I also like:

earth tones, robin-egg blues, lime

everything Danish Modern,

mobiles,

flowery fabric like Amy Butler's,

embroidery,

vintage fabrics,

Kokeshi dolls (aren't the little Momiji dolls adorable?),

mushrooms!!!

Favorite Television

I'm a sucker for any DIY show on the telle.

I also love the paranormal shows like Ghost Adventure, TAPS, etc...

Little Britain (my husband thinks I'm nuts for loving this one so, and he's FROM Britain!)

SNL

The Colbert Report

Local News shows

Anything on PBS and The History Channel

Hubby's Favorites

For the swaps intended for our BFs and DHs, my hubby likes:

-anything to do with John F. Kennedy

-sunscreen (his poor Irish skin burns easily)

-nuts

-sweets

-football (British soccer: loves Aston Villa)

-motorcycle gear (handkerchiefs)

-anything Irish related (he was born in Dublin)

-Catholic religious items

Places I want to travel too

The Azores (Pico, Flores and St. George)

Ireland

Greece

Italy

Places I've been

England

Hawaii (Oahu)

Nevada (Reno and 'Lost Wages')

Idaho (Coeur D'Alene)

Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia (Ft. Benning to see my son graduate from basic training)

Biloxi, Mississippi (right after Hurricane Katrina)

(not very many places! I need to travel more!)

Dislikes

not very many dislikes. I'm pretty easy to please, and so grateful to be part of this awesome collaborative.

My Awesome Kids!
