Mini-bio:

By day I'm lost in the stacks of the college library where I'm (hooray!) employed full-time; by night(s) and weekend(s) I'm submerged in a world of vintage accoutrements and Japanese paper, aka: Sakura Kitty Creatives.

My vintage jewelry and accessory (re)constructions began in college whilst mastering the art of paper writing procrastination. The Japanese and vintage paper collecting (see my buttons & magnets) got way out of hand during a year abroad studying writing at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. I wrote a ton of letters. When I returned stateside and was surrounded once again by all of the people I love, I had to find something useful to do with all of that paper!

Emily Haines, Metric, Herbert, Feist, Cat Power, Rachael Yamagata, The Bird and The Bee, Fiona Apple, Meiko, Sia, Zero 7, Kruder Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation, Neko Case, Patsy Cline ...so many more...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lost In Translation, Secretary, ShopGirl, Claire's Knee, You and Me and Everyone We Know, Kicking and Screming (Noah Baumbach version), The Royal Tenenbaums, The Virgin Suicides, My New Best Friend, Go!, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Anchorman ...more to come...

The Office, Dead Like Me, Weeds, Wonderfalls, The Lost Room, Project Runway, Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

black, peacock blue, pink, red, dusty purple, mauve, brown

read, cook, sort buttons, browse the library stacks, listen to music, watch movies (mostly foreign & limited release), play with paper (vintage and japanese), snuggle with my cats, play, dance, learn new tricks, laugh, plant seeds, design things, dream while awake, write in my journal, plan adventures

Swapping is fun! But there are things I'm not into & will never use... so it's best to save them for another who will appreciate them!:

Disney, Diddl mouse, Hallmark type sentiment, Christian/Gospel/Bible themed items, earrings (allergic), Precious Moments, I like kawaii, but I don't like cute-sy (puppies in the flowers photos- that sort of thing), Dolls (they freak me out).
