Introduction	Yes, I really do live in a little pink house, along with my husband, Max the dog, and one pesky cat. Life is like an artichoke: If you work at peeling and then cast away the harsh, unimportant and sometimes bitter parts, eventually, if you’re lucky, you’ll find the delicate, and delicious heart of what you’ve been seeking: something that really matters and makes you happy. Making and selling vintage-inspired creations takes me to a place where I feel no passage of time, no hunger, pain, no hot or cold, as the ideas in my mind come into being. That's the heart of the artichoke for me!
