Rabbits are my favorite animals. I truly believe spotting a rabbit is a sign of good things to come. But since I live across the river from NYC, I often find myself wandering into a local pet shop to take a gander at the bunnies on gloomy days. My days are spent wandering around the city with dogs since I am a dog walker/pet sitter. It's a great job and I love working for myself. But I'm a bit of a frou frou nerd and it doesnt provide many opportunities to dress up. I love pretty grrly things that look like something you would find in an old cottage or fairy tale book. I start school in the fall with The Academy of Art University's online program, and eventually want to study abroad in Ireland, France, England, and Australia. Actually... I just want to go everywhere. So I thought this would be a fun way to have a tangible piece of Far Away in my hand and send some out as well. :)
