I am radically unafraid of myself.

I love handmade jewelry and rubber stamps!

I am a novice snowboarder, intermediate cook, and expert thrifter. I play music and burn incense constantly.

I cannot live without: handmade jewelry, stamps & ink, collage art, anything vintage (jewelry, pendants, patterned paper or fabric, photos, and business cards), anything odd or broken, scrapbook paper, faded/cracking paper like from old books, old hardcover books, poetry, buttons, ribbons, the color green, skirts, tank tops, cardigans, argyle, polka dots, stickers, rub-ons, necklaces, earrings, rings, anklets, sandals, glitter, chocolate, and music

• I do not wear pants. I wear all lengths of skirts instead. Even during the Minnesota winter I don long johns underneath.

• I love to surround myself with things that look like they were either made by a flower child or came directly out of a hotel in the 1800s.

• I love vintage!

• Metals excite me: Gold - tarnished and shiny, brass, copper, silver, you name it.

• I love tins. Not the Christmas sort or the ones that advertise some company or product but pretty much every other kind.

• My favorite animal is the elephant. My partner and I collect them and we have hundreds of little elephant figurines, images, and art around our home.

• My spirit animal is the otter. I love everything about otters, their cheerful, playful nature, the graceful way they swim, and their contribution to the balance of nature.

• I love incense of all sorts - stick, oil, cone - you name it and I'll burn it. I just love filling my home with great scents.

• I am a vegan, so no taxidermy please!

• Student of Biology, Buddhism, Hindusim, Mother Nature

  I love Buddhist and Hindu statues or figurines of Buddha (especially the traditional Thai depictions of Buddha) Anything which was made from or born out of mother earth

• Art is beauty: I love handmade jewelry especially!

• Please do not send me images/photos of cats and dogs unless they're really classy... I don't really like tacky/cutesy kittens and puppies.

• I hate overpackaged/overprocessed things.

• I don't identify as Christian so Jesus-y things aren't my favorite, but if there's something Christian that you'd really love to share with me I won't object. I'm open to all forms of beauty.

• I don't like cheap vacation postcards with phrases like "Big Ben - London" right on the front but if it's a nice photo with small wording that's fine.
