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

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.

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

I am married with 2 children and 4 grandchildren.

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

I love silver earrings,bangles/bracelets, rings. toe rings and thumb rings but I only have my ears pierced .

French country ~ the combination of red and yellow and blue and yellow ~ ala provincial.

I like angels and fairies and art deco to a degree.

I AM NOT INTO DISNEY OR KAWII OR ANYTHING OVERLY CUTE OR SWEET.
but I do love the Classic Pooh(NOT DISNEY)

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Old Paris street scenes

~ abandoned farm houses

** ~ urban decay( old windows and doors and architecture that is peeling and in some sort of romantic decay) **

~ cottages in the woods

** ~ fairy doors and houses.**
