I'm a 44-year-old SAHM, definitely happily married, Matt is in college, Ben is almost there. I am hard at work on a cute webshop that I hope to open one day. The only good thing about an empty nest quickly approaching is more time for creativity! Our 8-pound Shih-tzu is our little baby now, and I love to thrift for unique things. My twin sister said my name should really have been Fancy Nancy all along, since we can look at any childhood picture of the two of us, and sure enough, I'll be the one with the ruffles on my socks, wearing my DIY clothes and retro dresses before they really came into fashion. I always make time for shopping in other parts of our world.
Some of my likes and dislikes are: I don't care for edibles just because it's so easy for me to gain weight, lol, earth-tone colors overall, skull items, or a goth theme. Also, if possible no scented items such as candles, lotions, etc. because I'm allergic to many.
What I really LIKE and love are: hot colors (bright colors in general), pastels if they're mixed with bright, I'm crazy for 1970-80 Barbie (or clone) old outfits, cute children graphics (like on old kids' fabric, or old Disney stuff such as Bambi/Thumper items--mostly pre-1970), Rement/Megahouse, kawaii cute (just love Peko, Chococat, Sweetcoron and Deery-Lou--already have way too much Hello Kitty stuff though, so I'm trying to build much more Chococat), I just love mod little 60-70s jewelry baubles in great shape to use as charms, vintage items with Asian children (like Kokeshi dolls), and also old fabric a la Marcia Brady.
There's a few more swapping wishes below if you like lots of ideas for someone, like I do.
All kinds, but often Elvis, Ben Jelen, Michael W. Smith, Ben Folds, Coldplay.
Gone With The Wind, Sirens~
Wife Swap, The Apprentice~
If you are shopping for your swaps, or even better, looking through your own supplies stash, and you find cool vintage fabric remnants, darling plastic figural charms/buttons from the 70s, colorful felt dolls/mascots, or anything that could be a member of the family on my Flickr pages, please think of me. :o)
And if you took the time to read this, thank you for caring about personalizing your swap!
