~ I AM SMITTEN WITH: reading and writing YA fantasy fiction; upcycling wool sweaters (especially pure cashmere); DIY projects; pinning on Pinterest; collecting Anthropologie, and vintage Vera scarves; taking walks along our beach; art and crafting with my daughters; perusing thrift stores; and decorating my home with mod and vintage treasures. ~ My husband is a wordsmith extraordinaire, and very much a Moominpapa. Our firstborn’s middle name is after a Rowan tree that grows in Ireland.
