I'm a 30-something textile designer living in Dallas, Texas with my boyfriend and four cats. I'm a long-time junker and enjoy flea markets, yard sales and dumpster diving. We're currently restoring a 1957 split-level ranch and I love all things Mid-Century Modern. I also enjoy gardening, adventurous chowhounding, ephemera hoarding, and travel.

Collage, Art Journaling, hand dyeing/printing fabric, batik, and sewing

Crowded House, Neko Case, Matthew Sweet, Vintage R.E.M, early Nanci Griffith, 80's New Wave and 1960's pop.

The Wire, The Closer, Pushing Daisies, 30 Rock. Plus older series like Twin Peaks, X-Files, Cracker, and Prime Suspect.

I enjoy reading Ruth Rendell and PD James, but my most treasured books are my art, design, and style books.
