About Me

I live with my husband and my little dog Jordi.

I make jewellery using sterling silver, gemstones and other beads, inspired by the concept of wabi-sabi.

I have an eclectic nature and I am a hippie at heart.

I love to wear lots of bangles and charm bracelets.

I collect book-necklaces.

I collect ATC or ACEO (with a geese theme).

I love vintage,antiques,country,farmhouses,quilts,apothecary,chippy paint,rusty found objects

LOVE to MAKE THINGS to send in swaps so therefore I LOVE to receive HANDMADE ITEMS in swaps.

I love mail art

I AM NOT INTO DISNEY OR KAWAI OR ANYTHING OVERLY CUTE OR SWEET.

THIS ABOUT SUMS IT UP:

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.” ~ James A. Michener

Favorite Music

John Martyn, Caetano Veloso, Barbara, A Girl called Eddy, Moein, Jose Gonzalez, CSNY, Neil Young, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Period (my nieces band), Van Dik Hout (my nephews band), Ornella Vanoni, Adamo, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Ricky Lee Jones, Joan Baez, Atahualpa Yupanqui, Jefferson Airplane, Cowboy Junkies, This Mortal Coil, Van Morrison, James Morrison, Chris Whitley, Ry Cooder, Djavan, Bruce Springsteen, James Carrington, Joni Mitchell, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Saybia, Johnny Cash, Tears and Fears, Sigur Ros, Stan Getz, Flora Purim, David Gray, Astrud Gilberto, James Taylor,Elvis (NOT Presley) Costello,Gerry Rafferty,Burt Bacharach, Joan Armatrading, Nils Petter Molvaer, Tracy Chapman, Joan Manuel Serrat

Favorite Books

"Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business." Henry David Thoureau
