About Me

First of all, thing only thing I miss about New York is the pizza. After 10 years in SAn Francisco, the only thing I miss is my job and the shopping. The weather sucks and I hate all the bums. But, I'm definitley a better person for having lived there. Met lots of amazing people, had lots of life experience, and was exposed to lots of culture. NOw I'm up here in sunny Redding, CA! Its hot- but I love it! Sunshine and palm trees for me - thanks! Been married to Paul for over 6 years. We have 2 insane and cute (or insanely cute) kids JOhnny (4) and Rosie (1). I spend my days trying not to let them drive me nuts. Thank god they are so funny and make me laugh. I work on my house most days-- we're renovating our mid century modern atomic ranch house. I'm an insane collector of 50's stuff... lots of pink, and heywood wakefield, and tiki, and frankl rattan, and barkcloth, and dish sets, and lamps.... lots of lamps. yes, its true... I'm an ebay addict.I'm a military brat, so I've lost touch with many many people that I miss dearly... so find me on here!

My Interests

50's kitsch, mid century modern: googie architecture, heywood wakefield, frankl rattan, moss lamps, franciscan dishes, atomic starburst stuff, 50's pink everything- especially kitchen stuff! Hot ROds! I have a 62 Galaxie and a 58 Edsel (okay- so the edsel is not a hotrod, whatever!)
