About Me

I live with my husband and three cats, and am the proud grandmother of three grandsons.

I am usually working on several art projects at any given time (see Fav Crafts section below). Other interests are genealogy and reading (true crime, mysteries, thrillers, home decorating, cookbooks, art, history).

I collect vintage books, and ephemera of all kinds. Some of my favorites are: the "Old West", especially the illustrations and old children's books on the subject; old magazine clothing illustrations, or patterns, from the 40s and 50s; ledger paper; vintage floral, bird, scenic postcards; old book illustrations and pages; cabinet cards; maps; photos of old farmhouses...the more rundown the better; farm-related pictures, especially cows, chickens, roosters, fields, barns; wallpaper, especially from 1930's through 1950s; rusty metal; vintage circus illustrations; old rhinestone jewelry.

Other likes: Pink, lavender, vintage greens; the beach, lakes, streams; birds;

Dislikes: girly stuff; 1970s or 1980s things; stickers; Asian themes.

Favorite Music

Mostly 50s and 60s rock and roll. Some jazz, blues, new age, country, easy listening.

Favorite Movies

I love so many old 50s/60s movies it's hard to remember them all. Some favorites are Roman Holiday, Picnic, Long Hot Summer, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, the Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies, and 50's westerns.

Favorite Television

The only time I watch TV is during dinner, and then it's always old TV...usually Perry Mason, The Odd Couple, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, or Columbo.

Favorite Crafts

Mixed media art, collage, altered books, scrapbooking, inchies, ATCs, zentangles, mail art, handmade books.

Comment: Hello! Thank you so much. :D Loved all of my buttons! :) and for reference vintage buttons are not boring at all, they have character! :) mother to daughter, each gets a button tin and gets started with a handfull or two from the mothers. Only the tradition started several years ago so I got a lot of the other originals as heirlooms too. :) Have a lovely day hon. :) Xx
Response: So glad you liked the buttons, as well as the vintage ones. :-) I agree they do have character. I love your button tradition. Sounds wonderful! Thank you for the heart. I appreciate it.
