About Me

I'm a rabid collector of shiny plastics, bakelite, buttons & toys. I'm an impulsive crafter who can't keep up with my own ideas. I love rummaging through trash & treasue, reading and playing board games with my lovely friends.

I enjoy making plushies, cards, beaded things, crochet and many other bits & bobs.

LIKES: cute/evil things, purple,black & lime green, bats, octopus, owls & squirrels, gothic, steampunk, art deco, medieval illumination, vintage halloween, paisley, religious icons and coffee. Teas - earl greys, stockholm blend, chais. I love to munch on Jelly Bellies and cola or cinnamon candies & dark chocolate makes me very happy. Dice, lots of dice - all shapes,sizes & colours.

DISLIKES: pastels, country/prim, teddy bears, hearts & pink girly things.

Favorite Music

Wicked, The Cure, They Might Be Giants, Pop Will Eat Itself, Dead Can Dance, Power Solo, Oingo Boingo. Music from the 20's & 30's, The Crooners, Rockabilly & lounge music.

Favorite Books

A Song Of Ice and Fire series, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Harry Potter, Jane Austen, H G Wells. Comics - The Walking Dead, Hellboy & Sandman

Favorite Movies

How To Train Your Dragon, The Book of Life, The Wizard of Oz, Guardians of the Galaxy, Harry Potter Series, Lord of the Rings, anything with the Universal Monsters and Godzilla.

Tim Burton, Hitchcock, Kevin Smith, Guillermo Del Toro, Silent Movies, Old Musicals.

Favorite Television

Game of Thrones, Veronica Mars, Mad Men, Dr Who, Torchwood, Firefly, The Walking Dead, Banshee, Arrow, The Flash, Breaking Bad, Weeds, Silicon Valley, American Horror Story, The Misfits, True Detective

Postcards

I collect castles, churches, art, fashion & vintage postcards. Novelty shapes & funny cards are welcome here.

Wish List

Monster related items, especially Godzilla, but also Universal Monsters (Dracula Frankenstein Creature etc) and Cthulhu

Postcards & other images of vintage fashion or stage & film costumes.

Dice - any size, colour, shape - new or old

Board game pieces - scrabble tiles, mice from Mousetrap, Monopoly houses, meeples & more recent game components.

Buttons, especially vintage or unusual shapes.
