| Introduction | What makes my world go round and round??? TRAVEL. FOOD. EATING. GLUTTONY. COOKING. ENTERTAINING. HOCKEY. CURLING. FRIENDS. MAX. MUSIC. LOVE. KINDNESS. FUN. I love anything vintage! Buttons, linens, clothing, magazines, shoes, books, cars, motorcycles, etc. I'm really eclectic when it comes to home decorating. On one hand I LOVE clean, modern, simple. On the other, I LOVE vintage fabrics, vintage furniture (mostly 60's), fixtures, etc. I have been trying to expand my art collection and have successfully acquired a few lovely pieces (my absolute favorite by local artist Derek Erdman.) I love working in my yard, I have many pretty colors creating a lovely little symphony. I'm particularly fond of the color chartreuse. My little yellow house is a fabulous mish-mash of browns, chartreuse, burgundy, with little specks of color from various objects I've collected over the years. I have a couple Vladimir Tretchikoff prints, "Chinese Girl", the blue lady sits on my piano. I drink coffee and tea, The thrill of finding GREAT wines under 15$ has become my life's mission. If I could step into the set of Mad Men, I would. |

Irish, French (Edith Piaf), Romanian (love polka'esque groups with tons of insturments), I love most music. I grew up on stuff such as Sex Pistols, the Clash, etc. Still love it! Also grew up listening to The Cure, New Order, Bauhaus, Jesus and Mary Chain, Echo and the Bunnymen, etc. Still have a fondness for the music that shaped me. |
