penelopemay

I'm 29 years old. I work as a nurse team leader here in Chattanooga, TN working with children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. My husband and I have 3 children - 2 boys named James and Oliver who are 9 and 6, and a 3 year old daughter named Magnolia. We stay very busy with cub scouts and ballet and just the general day to day life!

I love sending and receiving real mail and I look forward to partipating in some swaps!

I love all things related to sewing, especially beautiful vintage fabric. I have been working on my first quilt for what seems like months, but I think I finally see an end in sight!

I love all things kitsch, retro, mid-century, etc, whether it be furniture, dishes, textiles, clothing, holiday decor, etc.

I also love delicious scents - I've recently developed an obsession with wax cubes/warmers! I favor warm, comforting smells over crisp, "clean", or minty smells. I have a few Scentsy warmers that I keep on almost 24/7 because I love my house to smell great.

I like to cook, though my husband has a real passion for it. I'm always interested in trying out new recipes, and I love it when something turns out delicious and I can add it to my repertoire. I definitely have more of a sweet tooth but just like to eat in general.

All things cozy, tasty, weird are welcome here. I love cemetery photography, ghost stories, and dreaming of visiting some of the abandoned mental institutions spread around the world. I'm interested in dream interpretation and astrology.

I love to read and my favorite author of all time is Stephen King. I am currently re-reading The Stand.
