Hey! I'm Avalon from Toronto, Canada and I run a jewelry and accessories shop on etsy called valleybelow. I'm a 21 year old college student with many hobbies including making jewelry, sewing, embroidery and pretty much anything crafty! I am constantly being inspired by anything and everything! I love nature and anything vintage or antique inspired. I love meeting and chatting with new people and can't wait to participate in many swaps! xo

So I don't think I will be able to list all my favs, there are way to many but here are the highlights...

The White Stripes,Ray LaMontagne, Fiona Apple, Protest the Hero, The Black Keys, Bat for Lashes, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Keane, Bob Dylan, Kate Bush, Cut/Copy, Radiohead, Death From Above 1979, Sam Roberts, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, Alexisonfire, Air France, Fleet Foxes, The Kills, Interpol, Kings of Leon...

If I had to pick an ultimate favourite it would be THE MUSIC!
