I’m a 34 year old geek by trade, with mad love for vintage, photography and good design. I currently live in a my almost 100 year old on-going renovation project of a house affectingly known as “The death of me manor” I'm always looking for good handy man advice and creative home decor projects.

I sell vintage on Etsy. (jollypollypickins.etsy.com) I love hunting down those elusive, gorgeous vintage bits and bobs; items that have withstood the test of time both in durability and design. Vintage is not just remembering the past; it’s about embracing the character of a period and uniting it with the modern to create an aesthetic that is truly timeless.

Also a keen photographer and design lover I always have my eye on the visual and enjoy looking at other people’s art and collections.

I read a lot, mostly fiction.

The outdoors are a great source of inspiration and enjoyment to me. I walk daily, hike on weekends and escape to conservation and natural parks are often as possible.

Eclectic by nature, a bit of a loner at times and definitely dedicated to my pursuits.
