vintageyaya

Native Texan. Married with a Dog "Lucy" and a cat "Jangles". I am a caregiver for my 91 year old grandfather. I am a massage therapist.

I love to garden, drink coffee, scrapbook, sew, collect (sewing patterns, buttons, fabric, paper, ribbon, ... ). I can't get enough vintage patterns, fabric, ephemera, stuff...I also enjoy "junking" by way of thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, antique stores, estate auctions, ebay...

FABRIC: I love geometric prints and vintage florals (retro 50s and 60s, not prairie or Laura Ashley like).

SEWING PATTERNS: I would love to receive anything from the 1970s or older. All Clothing, aprons, purses. In Texas, sundress patterns are put to good use! Size 16 and up is great, but I can always alter a smaller size. I don't sew doll clothes, so don't send me those (But oddly enough I do have doll clothes patterns, so if you would like to do a private swap for them, let me know).

Other hobbies: We camp and hike when we can. I enjoy the outdoors and traveling the off-beaten paths. I am not religious, but I am spiritual.

Favorite Color: Green, but love all colors.

Natalie Merchant, REM, Gipsy Kings, All old country. World Music, I love the CDs produced by the Putamayo label. I am always looking for new music to massage to, let me know your favorites!

All time favorite: Dances with Wolves

"You've Got Mail" "Go" "Raising Arizona", I love the Coen brothers work. Any period piece that resembles Bronte or Austen stories.

Alias, Dexter, Arrested Development, The Office, Project Runway, and lots of Reality TV that I shouldn't admit to... Amazing Race, Survivor, the Hills.
