I'm an art student at the Academy of the Arts University in San Francisco. I've always made little things, and I love collecting things that make me happy, i.e.: postcards, paper scraps, fabric scraps, baubles, jewelry, toys, books, clothes, etc. but I've never had anyone to share them with, so this site is perfect for me! I look forward to swapping :)

Ludovico Enaudi, Iron and Wine, MGMT, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Carla Bruni, Ratatat, Norah Jones, Bob Dylan, Nat King Cole, Muse, Creedence Clearwater, Ella Fitzgerald, Incubus, and...more...but I'm running out of names I can pull out of my head lol.

Breakfast at Tiffanies, Pride and Prejudice (all versions), The Duchess, Marie Antoinette (that movie was deadly boring but sooooo beautiful), Elizabeth, Romeo + Juliet, 10 Things I Hate About You, Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and I will continue this later!

Gossip Girl, The City, Lost in Austen, The Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Friends.
