Artist, scientist, brewer, punk-rock chick.  Not necessarily in that order.

Wanna buy some stuff?

I like cooking and brewing and making stuff.  I like things that are fun, funky, handmade, and macabre. I like skulls and bones and shrunken heads, relics and reliquaries.  I like my food savory and my alcohol strong.  I like pickled things, and to pickle things.  I like beautiful textiles and ornate carvings.  Books about science.  Industrial art.  Curiosities.

Here's my Amazon wish list. Use it as a way to figure out who I am.  Just getting stuff from the wish list wouldn't be fun.  Do something creative!

And here's me Etsy favorites, which is full of a bunch of stuff I think is pretty. Most of the Etsy stuff is jewelry; I go there for vintage jewelry because I don't want to support mining new metal and gemstones.  I don't want jewelry from my TFSS - this is just to help with the ol' aesthetic.
