I was born in 1976 in Portugal and I've always lived here. I'm married but without children for now.

I love traveling (I think it's the best way to spend your money), the country side and rocky shores.

I love Jane Austen's novels; sometimes I picture myself painting with watercolours in a British castle surrounded by a misty meadow. Well, by now you've probably guessed that vintage items are my favorites.

Favorites: I really like vintage buttons, modern buttons, small buttons, big buttons and the same for ribbon. I also love felt and fabric, especially cotton, linen, and wool fabric. Recently I've developed a pincushion addiction. I really like broochs/pins, long earrings and long necklaces.

Other things I like: handmade items (crocheted, knitted, embroidered - not cross-stitching), all sorts of plants (except coriander), all sorts of animals (except parasites), sea shells, seads, books, craft magazines, patterns, rubber stamps, bookmarks, maps, ink illustrations, beads, yarn, thread, pencils, watercolours, brushes, candles, tea, etc.

Favorite colours: autumn colours, blue, olive green, brown, pink, but also red, orange... even yellow sometimes.

I'm not very interested in: ATCs and papper crafts (except for nice origami), porcelain figurines, and baby stuff.

Dislikes: religious items, feathers, fabrics with teddy bear, hello kitty, and disney like printing.

Hate: death related items (like skulls, weapons, etc.) and... have I mentioned coriander?
