| Introduction | Start with something that speaks to you and make it your own - or fix it and make it useful. The #1 export of the United States is TRASH, yes, garbage. I aim to change that, at least I'm doing my part and inspiring others to do the same. I refinish furniture and make it something beautiful again, keeping the beauty of the woodgrain if possible. I repair old jewelry or fashion it into something new and different. Same with clothing - I curate and collect vintage pieces for the discerning wearer who wants to be different and wear quality pieces from the past. |
| Interests | Equestrian, dressage, French Bulldogs, Knitting, vintage jewelry, clothing and accessories from the 1940's - 1970's, top grain leather goods especially Christian Dior and Dooney & Bourke, (no Guc or LV - just not a fan), I love taking broken things and making them whole again - jewelry, clothing, bags, and furniture. |
| Favorite music | Wow. Child of the Grunge era - Pearl Jam and Nirvana top the list, but I also listen to every genre under the sun except experimental jazz and modern country music. |
| Favorite books | I have no favorites because I have read thousands and that would be impossible to name. |
