IKEA, Victorian beadwork, Quilts, Children's book illustrations (Barbara Cooney!), Crumb, Sunglasses, roaming the streets at night, various subcultural impulses, sex toy couture, trader joe's pre-made delicacies, voudou, ashtrays, forks of interest, cassette tapes, baaad tv shows, baking! and anything else that at one moment or another might catch my eye and make me go aha! |
