Hello! I just love the idea of creating and sending random and well thought out gifts to people.

I've been a seller on Etsy for a couple of years, making jewelry, fun accessories, and items for one's home.

I'm a civil engineer by day, and a crafter/creater by night!

The Dalkey Archive and The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien

Anything by David Saderis

Anything by Dave Eggers

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

my cockatoo Cukor (pronounced Q-Kor) who is the most wonderful little creature in the world. He laughs at jokes before the punchline, and scolds feet as if they were misbehaving children by alternating biting them, then cooing at them.

I love anything with a vintage twist. I also like:

earth tones, robin-egg blues, lime

everything Danish Modern,

mobiles,

flowery fabric like Amy Butler's,

embroidery,

vintage fabrics,

Kokeshi dolls (aren't the little Momiji dolls adorable?),

mushrooms!!!

I'm a sucker for any DIY show on the telle.

I also love the paranormal shows like Ghost Adventure, TAPS, etc...
