About Me

I love anything vintage it brings me back to a simpler time. I enjoy going to antique malls, thrift store shopping, amusement parks, fine dining, wine tasting, dancing, playing records, watching old movies, meeting new people. I am pretty shy and a lot of people mistake that for intimidating. I can be overly flirtatious or extremely cold. In my spare time you can usually find me playing spades online, watching re runs of I love Lucy or some old classic movie drinking wine, reading and hopefully soon painting. I have becoming more and more of a home body. I hope to write a novel within the next two years. I went to school to become a certified appraiser of toys and collectables. I primarily went there for my own benefit. I love animals and worked in the veterinary field for 12 years but now instead of being surrounded by animals I am surrounded by Vespa Scooters.
