Hello, I grew up in a small Pennsylvania town and now live in the historical/arts district of Baltimore City. I love Baltimore - it's become my true home and has a great quirky charm to it. That's why we call it "Charm City".

I am passionate about art. I studied Graphic Arts, Textiles and Art History at University and now work as an Executive Assistant to an art collector.

I love all handiwork especially paper crafting (which I share on my blog/YouTube) and patchwork. I also knit a bit and create felt food. If you can think of a crafty hobby I've probably tried it at one point or another.

I like to read and keep a list of books I've read each year. I try to alternate fiction and non-fiction; I'm currently reading (January '18) The Unwinding by George Packer. My favorite book is Necessary Madness by Jennifer Crowell.

I also enjoy movies - Pride and Prejudice (BBC version), Harry Potter, anything Tim Burton, and Moulin Rouge are a few of my favorites.

Current TV favorites are Chicago Med, Superstore, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and Outlander.

I appreciate most music but tend to be drawn toward the Sam Smith, Lennon & Maisy, Lumineers, Johnny Swim and Chet Baker type of sound. I like to dance, so I listen to the pop charts too.

A few extras: I'm a coffee drinker; I love whimsical things; I wish I could travel more - my favorite places I've been so far are Paris, Scotland, and Ecuador; My favorite colors are pink, mint and gold; If there's anything else you'd like to know...just ask.
