IT'S ALL ABOUT ME

Smart Fokker

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am married with 2 children and 4 grandchildren.
I teach children with special needs.

I have an eclectic nature and I am a hippie at heart

I love silver jewelry such as Stacking rings and rings made out of vintage spoons. Steampunk jewelry, earrings(hoops and dangles) ,bangles and charm bracelets.

I love earth tones and jewel tones~ the combination of red brick and ochre yellow, sapphire blue and sunflower yellow like the colours of Tuscany and Provincial

I love vintage,antiques,country,farmhouses,quilts,apothecary and mason jars,chippy paint,rust & things that are a little "funky" to some

I AM NOT INTO DISNEY OR KAWII OR ANYTHING OVERLY CUTE OR SWEET but I do love the CLASSIC POOH (JUST NOT DISNEY)

Because I teach young children I adore reading the classic fairy tales to them. I love the art work from these books. I am not a Disney fairy tale lover though.

I lust after little wooden boxes or dressers with lots of tiny little drawers

I adore shopping and lurking in thrift shops, antique stores and flea markets

I love the work of Klimt and Monet and the Group of Seven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THIS ABOUT SUMS IT UP.

Ephemera is the window into our past
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about dancing in the rain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I give lots of hearts, but not for extras." Hag 53

Ones idea of wonderful may not be thought the same by your partner. Hearts are given because the receiver thinks the swap is wonderful not the sender. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes greed just takes over.
I have always thought this site was to create and exchange for the love of arts and crafts. It would be nice to venture back to that way of swapping.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Comment: What a quirky collection-I absolutely love the miniatures you sent and the chocolate tea is new to me. Our seasons here are extraordinarily subtle so I was delighted to get spring-in-a-box. Hope your spring finds you soon.

Oh yeah, I'm still here. Keeping Swap-bot free from King Cobras! I saw the pics from the meet-up you crazy Canadians had, and it looked like loads of fun. Lostdawill and Toupti are awesome, aren't they?

lostdawill on Jul 18, 2011:

It was a great meet-up. You rock! Hopefully we can all do it again sometime soon!
