About Me

Hello! My name is Erin. I'm single and I live in the city of Atlanta. Love, love, love my city! Trips to the country are a necessity, though! I have been a teacher in Jerusalem, Israel/Palestine and am going back to school to learn Arabic and to study the Middle East. I have traveled to several different countries, but have many more to go...Sweden, Denmark, and Italy are three on the top of my list. I am a DIY kind of girl and am constantly starting new projects. I like to make things from scratch.

Favorite Books

Franny and Zooey, To Kill a Mockingbird...currently, anything having to do with Christian/Muslim relationsions, Islam, and the Middle East, and really good, "sucks-you-in", intelligent fiction.

Favorite Television

Yikes! Hooked on Lost, Mad Men, 30Rock, Gossip Girl, Vampires Diaries (ha!)...the list goes on. Living in a place where you can't get good t.v. really makes you appreciate it when you get back!

Favorite Crafts

Always, always anything having to do with paper. New projects include crocheting, knitting, sketching, watercolor, block printing. Also, I like to sew, but my sewing machine is not cooperating at the moment. :(

Favorite things

Colors: dark teal, turquoise, kelly green, pea green, burnt orange, gold-yellow, silver grey, black & white

Repurposed/Reusable items.

Coffee, black or herbal tea, chocolates (dark or milk)

Paper: scraps, ephemera, foreign tickets/receipts, postage stamps, post cards, poloroids, anything printed in a foreign language

Scraps of yarn, ribbon, string, for artwork, collage, weaving

Old, out of print books, graphic design, mixed media

Old Magazines: arts, crafts, crochet, decorating, Ready Made, Good,

Birds, birdcages, trees, silhouettes of trees, flowers, things,

Letter pressed items! Screen printed, block printed...

Candles (sweet scents, like vanilla) Nail polish, lip balm

Comment: I got my envelope today - thanks so much! It was like a little treasure hunt, looking through all the goodies. I'll have lots of fun deciding what projects to use all the papers and decorations on. And was it deliberate or just coincidence that some of the items also fit the themes of other swaps I've done lately? Either way, that was super cute. Thanks!

Comment: I LOVE the hand-made postcard you sent to me of the tree--Thank you so much!!! :] It actually arrived on Wednesday, but I have been on a mini-vacation, so I'm sorry I could not rate you sooner. It looks like you bought the blank postcard somewhere with the lines on the back already...is there somewhere online I could buy those from? Yes, my gardening here in Baltimore is limited, but I've got some radishes and strawberries growing on the porch in pots so far! :D I still have a little more room, but I can't decide what else to plant!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I actually got those postcards from an art store here in Atlanta. They were next to the watercolor paints. The name is on the back, so you could probably find them online somewhere. Happy gardening! We have a tomato!

Comment: Erin I LOVE the postcard. You went out of your way to find a postcard to match me. The coffee cup. But Starbucks is my company rival in business. But all is good. I love it!!!!
Response: Yeah...Sorry about the rival thing. I thought about that. If I'd thought a little harder I probably would have drawn a Joe Mugg's coffee cup instead!
