About Me

I live in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY.

I love gardening with organic/ GMO free seeds (aka Heirloom seeds). I have 6 kids and we all live in an old barn dwelling with our chickens and 5 black kitty cats on over 65 acres of land. We live a simple life and make do with what we have. Anything else we need, we try to make it or work hard to get it.

I feel like my husband and I were native Americans in our past life. I feel a sense of only finding what we need to survive from the land. and though our kids don't always understand this philosophy, I know they will benefit greatly from living a life free of debt and the idea that money brings happiness.

I love natural products who's ingredients contains things (that are not only pronounceable) but also grown in nature, not in some lab somewhere.

I have more of a Wiccan/Pagan nature to me, so Im into the fairy thing a bit, whimsical, natural, organic, birds, mushrooms, etc...

Im a total dork sometimes because I LOVE to organize and fold sheets..oh yeah...and Martha Stewart is one of my personal hero's, but that doesn't make me a dork in my book!.

I love to drink tea (even the loose kind!) and eat gluten free stuff!

Things Im not Interested in

yep, I would have to say candles as well!

-picture frames (I have tons of those!)

-markers (markers + kids =stress)

-spiky jewelry

-bloody/gore stuff\

-magnets, unless they are handmade of course!!

-clowns

-nothing to do with drinking/drugging or smoking

-coffee mugs (have enough of those already!)

-crossword puzzels....zzzZZZzzz

-loose glitter

-chemical or artificial scents

L O V E

-Beatrix Potter

-Poppies

-kewpie Γ’β„’Β₯

-old film cameras and manuals

Comment: Great package. Thank you.
Response: Im sorry I forgot to send a message...oops! I wanted to tell you that the laces are vintage and some of the fabric scraps. I also wanted to share with you a tutorial, if your interested, here for scrap fabric brooches. http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=931 even though she has embroidered her brooches, I thought some scraps of neat vintage fabric might be just as cool! good luck using them!
