About Me

I'm a retired 3rd grade teacher and live with my husband and dog, Uma, in a suburb of Chicago.

I love garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores. Collect sugar and creamers, paper ephemera, and dollhouse miniatures.

I love to slow stitch and make junk journals. I upcycle as much as I can. Also into postcrossing and pen paling.

Love to listen to books in the car and at home. Some that I really enjoyed are:

My Brillant Friend / Elena Ferrante.

The Woman in White / Wikie Collins

The Goldfinch / Donna Tartt

The Invention of Wings / Sue Monk Kidd
