About Me

I have a son who now has his own family and I have 3 grandchildren. I love cottage style shabby chic decorating although my own house is more British Bahamas style. I have an Ebay store called "north-florida" and hope to start an Etsy store soon. I also have a blog http://cottonpickincute.blogspot.com that I just started and am still trying to learn. I enjoy playing with vintage items to create altered art crafts. I've sewn for years. I like pink and the 30's/40's/ 50's style. I enjoy collecting anything pretty whether is pastels or primarys - typical 30's/40's/50's aqua & pink, etc. I love fabric, I'm very tactile I love to touch anything pretty or super soft. I love vintage illustrations like old Dick and Jane books. I'm crazy about gardening, fresh flowers and beautiful scents.

Favorite Music

Adele, Amy Winehouse, Diana Krall, Erika Bayu, Old Prince, Sade, AC/DC, Wycleff Jean, Ingrid Michaelson, Michael Jackson, Jerry Butler, Al Green, Billy Holiday, Rick James, 80's music, Carol King, James Taylor, Bread, Hall & Oats, Alan Jackson, smooth jazz, rock, easy listening, Country, old time gospel.

Favorite Movies

To Kill A Mocking Bird A Christmas Story The Skeleton Key The Big Easy Once Around Citizan Cane The Philadephia Story 1940 Raising Arizona Idioracracy Little Miss Sunshine Gone With The Wind.

Favorite Crafts

Altered art, sewing, making Chritmas ornaments, embroidery.

I never learned how to crochet more than a chain stitch, though I wish I could. I enjoy writing and would try most any craft. cottage style shabby chic decorating altered art crafts sewing

Favorite Television

I loved, loved, loved "The Riches" and was so made when they took it off. I thought both Eddie Izzard & Minnie Driver not to mention the whole cast and plot was wonderful & unique! I also was really into the "True Blood" series last season but don't have HBO now. I continue to watch "Desperate Housewives" but not with the same excitement as before. I like the Office a lot. I usually watch TMZ and the local news and American Idol. I don't watch a lot of soap opera's but I have followed "The Young and Restless" since I was a teenager in I'm guessing 1974.

Love to collect

Almost anything vintage that I can use in art or decorating. I love the old miniature plastic princess charms, cake decoration toppers. I love the 30's and 40's colors and style. I enjoy collecting other peoples blocks and altered tags. I like gumball or candy machine toys, paper crafting items. I love vintage buttons in bright colors and pastels and ribbon & rickrack to, Dick and Jane style pages out of books (or better yet the books themselves). I enjoy seeing other peoples recycling/upcycling items and ideas. I really like hand crafted pin cushions too. Anything that helps me create pins, glue, paper, embellishments, vintage postcards, etc. I love all colors but really enjoy the aqua, blues, reds & pinks from the 30's & 40's. Any old colorful advertising or old signs period.
