I am a designer and artist of jewelry, clothing and other media who loves other people's design and art too. I was born and raised in Minneapolis, sister city to the capital of Minnesota. I recently moved to Wisconsin and I have been enjoying the delights of owning a farm with my husband.

I tend to look at everything but actually purchase very little because I am sooo picky! I hate spending even modest amounts of cash on anything that I am not really bowled over by.

I tend to look at everything but actually purchase very little because I am sooo picky! I hate spending even modest amounts of cash on anything that I am not really bowled over by. Usually I find something fabulous that I have to have. I call it "Love at first sight " in shopping. That item will get used all the time with the other things I wear whether it is really expensive or not.

I used to love sterling silver best but now I favor gold because I love the way it sets off the colors of gemstones.

I have found there is nothing like a classic boot to give an outfit universal appeal and that men notice more.

Some of my favorite styles are 50's inspired. That is my favorite fashion decade. Some of the fashion of that time had a clean simplicity accentuated with perfect restraint by advances in aviation and technology. Conversely, the 50's also featured plenty of what I would call " Let's Go Camping! " styles.

I love to shop thrift stores and antique and flea markets. I occasionally find high end designer items there or collect antique silk shirts. Some of the lace work is not to be found today.See less »
