About Me

Hello! Check out my Etsy shop to get an idea of the items I collect and give away. You can also rest assured that I'm true to my word & reliable.

I love insects, anatomy, good bourbon, soy candles, typography, Edward Gorey, white xmas lights, old wooden furniture and all kinds of tiny vintage treasures.

Favorite Music

Iron & Wine, Broken Social Scene, Cotton Jones, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Nina Simone, MGMT, Andrew Bird, Mazzy Star, Depeche Mode, Velvet Underground, Joy Division, David Bowie, Phantogram, Stars, Jeff Buckley, etc.

Favorite Books

Everything is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer. If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things, Jon McGregor. House of Leaves, Mark Danielewski. Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell. Sexing the Cherry, Jeanette Winterson. Woman: An Intimate Geography, Natalie Angier.

I have a pretty discerning eye and have fun picking out cool things for other people. I'm not super girly, so I'm not usually into the stereotypical "girly" things, like lots of pink, glitter, sequins, etc. I do like a nice vintage floral and a lot of minimalist design and packaging. :)

I dont wear a ton of jewelry, but I do have pierced ears. Most of my favorite jewelry is fairly minimal or features a vintage item or natural materials.

I have a five year old son who loves robots and Minecraft!

Dislikes

While I enjoy personal care products and makeup, they might not be the best things to put in a package to me as I only use natural/organic products for the most part.

I'm not usually a big fan of:

  • sequins
  • items with lots of pink and glitter on them
  • modern florals
  • artificial scents
  • heavily-scented anything
  • caffeinated tea (except chai)
  • religious-themed items
  • disney
  • hello kitty
  • leopard/cheetah/zebra print
  • unnatural makeup or body products
  • fruit-flavored anything
  • coffee
  • non-vegetarian items
  • modern embellishments like pom poms and scrapbooking papers

If you think you have an example of something in my dislikes list that I may actually like (due to my preference list or another source), I'm totally open-minded. I have a particular aesthetic but I love surprises, and I'm not going to judge any swaps harshly. :)
