Hi everyone, I'm in my mid 30s, a homemaker, and mom to three girls. These days I don't craft as much as I used to. Though I do love to make witchy/nature based items in the Fall and Winter. Sometimes I do ATCs, deco books, visual journals, altered matchboxes, and stamp carving. In the past, I used to sew, knit, and crochet. I'm currently learning how to sew clothing, especially vintage styles.

I love vintage! I have an Etsy shop where I sell vintage clothing (specifically sleepwear/lingerie), and some accessories/decor. Currently I'm iso any vintage sewing notions like buttons, zippers, hooks and eyes, elastic, etc. Also vintage ribbon and lace (any colors). I use these to package my Etsy orders. I destashed a ton of old lace, and now that I've found a use for them, I'm needing a variety and lots of it.

• Watery beauties: Mermaids, selkies, nymphs...
• Fairy Tales esp. Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, and Snow White & Rose Red
