I work in a craft store where I spend my days dreaming up ridiculous projects. Recently I did my first bookbinding project and this opened a floodgate of inspiration. So I embarked on my second Wedding Project: asking our wedding party to well… be our wedding party!

I'm an illustrator/designer/crafter/cat lady. I love old furniture, records, sewing and Twin Peaks. I run a vintage blog with one of my best friends and we're hoping to open an Etsy shop together eventually. I live with my fiancee who writes for a horror movie magazine, and a big mean black cat named Lewis.

    I can't wait to send them off!
