ABOUT ME

I'm a whimsical collector of trinkets and experiences. I like all kinds of crafting, especially sewing. I carry on conversations in Japanese (my Kanji reading skills are pretty rough though).

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to read novels, make clothes from curtains, and name wildflowers, I suppose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Zojoji temple in Japan for about a week, waking at 5 AM with the sunrise and the temple bells. A little while later, I climbed a mountain and meditated under a waterfall.
