About Me

I'm a 23-year-old English teacher with a penchant for letter-writing, tea-drinking, and play-making. I've recently moved to Massachusetts, and am thrilled to be supporting my pie-baking habit with fresh New England apples and my ice-cream-eating habit with delicious New England ice cream!

I collect postcards, create papercrafts, and write fiction, all whilst attempting to help high schoolers learn to read and write with precision and panache.

My creations tend to be inspired by a mish-mash of the pseudo Victorian, folk, and charmingly domestic with generally retro overtones. I am inspired by Virginia Woolf, Florence Welch, Smitten Kitchen, Willa Cather, and the USPS.

Of course, if you don't receive a swap in a timely manner, contact me! I am happy to resend if necessary.
