I read everything that has words, including cereal boxes and tax form instructions, but I have a strong preference for anything steampunk, science fiction and fantasy with a unique twist. My current favorite authors are Gail Carriger, China Mieville and John Crowley.

Oh, and Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. I'm catching up on my classics.

Jane Siberry/Issa, Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem, Ditty Bops, Puppini Sisters.

Knitting/crochet, Sewing

I currently have plenty of acrylic yarn for my charity knitting. Thank you.

Warehouse 13, Doctor Who (old and new), Eureka, and inexplicably, Say Yes to the Dress.

My husband and I like to work jigsaw puzzles together. I'm always looking to swap puzzles.

I am also rehabbing a broken down vintage Lundby dollhouse. It is 3/4 scale or about 1:18 scale, much smaller than usual dollhouse scale. I'm having such fun, getting to work with my hands and also going shopping for it.

My favorite color is yes! Seriously, I like all colors, the brighter the better, no pastels, black or beige for me.

I'd rather get something handmade or from the thrift store any day over something new. I like getting weird oddments and miscellaneous bits. Anything fun and strange.

Please don't send anything scented. I have allergies. Candles, soaps, sachets, potpourri, lotions, perfumes, shower gels, etc. If it's designed to smell pretty, it will probably make me sick.

Ditto on food/drink/candy. I've got allergies to various things. Easier to avoid it all rather than try and explain it.

The rest of this is just preferences rather than life/health issues
