Hello! I'm from the US and I initially joined Swap-Bot to participate in PoupeeGirl swaps. I really enjoy exchanging gifts and receiving packages! :D

I love perfumes! I have several bottles and a whole box full of samples. My favorite scents are amber, rose, plum, iris, and jasmine.

I started reading Romantic Homes magazine last year and really love the style. I'm trying my best to incorporate some pieces of the French romantic/shabby chic look into my own bedroom.

I love Volks' Super Dollfies and have an SD13 girl, an SD10 girl, and 2 SD13 boys. These dolls are about 24" tall, head sizes are 8" - 10", and their chests are about 3" wide. Appropriate sized straw hats, tiny broaches, or other small accessories are welcomed! :)

I enjoy needlepoint and cross-stitch and have been doing both since elementary school. I've recently started practicing some freehand embroidery that's turning out really well. :D

I took sewing lessons 2 years ago and really enjoy it! I've made a few things for myself and I want to sew for my dolls soon.

I just learned to knit and I'm really excited about it! I can't wait to become better so I can make sweaters for myself.

COLORS:

My favorite color is brown and I also love pastel colors, cream and beige, and old/antique gold.

ANIMALS:

unicorns, old-fashioned teddy bears and bunnies, sheep/lambs, deer/fawns, owls

BOOKS:

I love to read and have 900-something books in my Amazon wishlist! (yikes!) I mostly read histories, historical fiction, autobiographies/biographies, fantasy, and animal and human-interest stories.

MUSIC:

Lareine, The Dogs D'Amour, rice, Red Hot Chili Peppers, 80s glam/sleaze/rock

MOVIES/TV:

The Last Unicorn, Pride & Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea, Wind at my Back
