LittleOwlette

Crunchy Mama bird to three little chicks, Girl Geek and Craft Goddess. I'm an avid tea drinker. I value my mind more than my looks. I trust [too] easily and love too strong. I am pierced and tattooed. I reduce, reuse & recycle.

I love:

Owls - 'nough said!

Kokeshi or Matryoshka Dolls - I have some real ones but I love pictures, postcards, I've even seen cute crochet ones! I also love Matryoshka dolls, images, stitched on, postcard... doesn't matter!

Anything Oriental - I have lots of Asian-themed things in my cottage already, a bento box, hundreds of chopsticks, pictures as well as ornaments.

Burnt Orange - I love this colour, it's my favourite. I have a gorgeous thick knit tam [hat] which I wear all the time and have so many clothes. I had an amber ring my partner bought for me but has since been lost :[

Beatrix Potter - I think she was not only an amazing woman but OH SO TALENTED!! Her illustrations never cease to amaze me. I have the 23 books, the special collection. But I love pictures or anything relating to any of the characters. Of course Peter Rabbit is a firm favourite but I also love Tom Kitten muchly muchly too!!

Kitsch, Tacky, Retro, Vintage - whatever you want to call it, I'm the one that goes to the thrift/charity store and buys the mismatched teacup or cat with a strange face... you know the one.... it's the one no-one else wants!

My Wall - I have a wall in my bedroom which is decorated with postcards, pictures, photos, little stars, newspaper cutouts, posters, business cards and various other items, all stuck together creating a mass collage on the wall. I always appreciate ANYTHING [bar XXX, I have a young daughter!] for it...

Tea - I love tea, loose tea, teabags, strange weird tea [although preferably no citrus.... I don't like lemon/lime or sharp flavours]... tea flavoured things... teacups, pictures of teacups... teapots, teapot postcards... basically if it's related to tea I'll probably love it!

Poptarts - The only flavours we can get in the UK are chocolate and strawberry with the occasional choco-mallow. I LOVE the smores..but just about any random flavour will do - I'm currently eating the Christmas Gingerbread ones my mum brought me from the States 2 months ago!!!

Cats - Since I moved and had to give up my cats I'm incredibly sad without them. I love cute little kitten pictures, cats doing funny things... cat, cats, kittens!

Candles/inscent sticks/smellies... I love yummy smelling things!! I have candles lit all the time round my bath, I love candle holders, inscent holders... anything like that!

Please Note: I don't like anything lemon or lime and I'm not fond of sharp flavours like grapefruit. I have my ears stretched (3/4" and 2ga respectively) so I cannot wear "normal" earrings. I have a slight mint allergy so while spearmint is fine any stronger mint burns my mouth!

I knit, crochet and love scrap-booking and card-making too. I would love to be able to sew well... unfortunately I'm not blessed with such a skill!!

I love Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Alice In Wonderland, Centre Stage [for the dancing, not the acting!], Empire Records, The Holiday, Breakfast At Tiffany's, P.S. I Love You, 5th Element, Tonari No Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke... And many, many more!!
