About me

Gender Female
Industry Arts
Occupation Shop Owner, Artisan
Location Fullerton, California, United States
Introduction I live in Fullerton, a quaint little burg in southern California, with my husband and the three chihuahuas my daughter left behind. I own a small store that I have filled to the rafters with old ribbon, millinery flowers and jewelry findings, and love to create with these things. The shop has brought many creative people to my doorstep, and it has been one of the great joys of my life to have met each and every one of them. I am constantly amazed at what I see when I have the privilege of looking through another artist's eyes.
Interests The thrill of the hunt; tracking down the lovely things I have in the store and then ripping them away from myself and letting someone else have them. Jewelry making, writing, books.
