About Me

Tadaaa!

I'm a crafty lady, thinking feeling open minded. I live in Sweden with a darling and cats.

I love doing things with my "near and dear", I get a kick out of thrifting for old stuff, reading, playing board games, walking, and meeting for tea/coffee, I also sing in a choir that mostly sings renaissance.

Tv-series

Twin Peaks, Supernatural, Dexter, Lost, Fringe, Carnivàle, Pushing Daisies, True Blood, Midsomer Murders, Dr Who, Torchwood, Walking dead, Black Books, Game of thrones, Hannibal

I also have a sweet tooth for costume dramas!!! BBC...

I like Sci-Fi and horror/murdermystery/supernatural series and movies, but I'm not into Buffy or real gory ones like hostel etc, more ghostly and just enough gory..(vague huh)

Music

Reading

I love books! I've read since the beginning of my time! Some of the authors I like; Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Carroll, Murakami, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Tove Jansson, Lewis Carroll, Michael Ende, GW Dahlqvist... I like old strange books (1850-1950) about how they thought you should look, be, think, act and so on.

I like classic fairy tales and old children's books; Lewis Carroll, Neil Gaiman, HC Andersen.. etc I like them dark like the brothers Grimm's, my favourites are

I also love Alice in wonderland!

Crafting

I make fascinator and various hair pharaphenalia(mostly with feathers and lace), bracelets made of textile materials and old photos of people from the 1920's-1930's. I love paper crafting, for example bookmarks, postcards, dioramas...
I also like painting, sewing and planting things to watch them grow. I also enjoy ceramics (but now I don't have the place nor space.

Things I like

maps

trees

vintage hats, gloves, shoes, umbrellas pharapehenalia

old pendants and earclips/drops

old mirrors

conservatories and wintergardens

owls

exotic seeds

dark, romantic, odd, morbid

craftmaterials like feathers, lace, ribbons(velvet, lace or satin), old buttons, rubber stamps/clear stamps, embossing powders, paper punches ..etc

Colours & patterns

I like dark rich colours; black, dark blood red, dark green, plum, chocolate brown.. I also like blue/green and green/blue shades and I also like pale pink and turquoise. black & white patterns like stripes, dots, check pattern, retro 20s-60s pattern,

I don't like orange, yellow, peachy skintone shades:)

The end

shabby chic-not my cup of tea

Don't like Winnie the Poo characters or other characters like that.

I don't smoke and I'm sensitive to strong perfumes/frangances that are unnatural.

I love liqorice, marzipan, good chocolate and nuts, loose tea and luxurious dark coffee and cocoa!

I'm a pescetarian! (I only eat fish/sea/vegetarian food)

Pretty please...I love sending/recieving hand crafted things, I put a lot of time and efford in the things I make, I hope you will do the same.

I love the winter and snow, it's fairytalish

That's all I think!

Comment: Thanks for the ATC, I didn't see a bottle on it but I liked the illustrations of anatomical specimens that might be found in bottles. The packaging with pictures of lemurs or lorises was awesome as well.
Response: Thank you for the rating, I'm very glad you liked it. I don't know why but I for some reason I just thought of things in the bottles not the actual bottles, I liked your bottlesvery much!
