Hi All -

I just wanted a place to play around in and invite my friends to. Grab a cup of tea, a glass of wine, a cold beer or some hot coffee and stay a while!

 

 

 

I have so many interests and collections that it's hard to think of everything!  I enjoy comics and graphic novels, movies and DVDs, television shows with a horror or supernatural theme, old mystery, suspense and classic movies of the 30s, 40s & 50s, music of all kinds, including classical, big band, jazz, blues, new age, 50s oldies, classic rock and heavy metal, the list goes on and on.  Basically, if I like it, I like it.  Anyone who knows me also knows that I love books!

 

Right now I have a vintage paperback collection of around 3000 books.  This is in addition to the many hardcover, trade and graphic novels I have.  I absolutely love the old detective and mystery paperbacks of the 30s & 40s, as well as the gothic suspense novels of the 60s & 70s.  I even have them displayed in wire racks like they use in bookstores and drug stores to display paperbacks.

 

In addition to all that, I also like cookbooks, hourglasses, sea horses, carousel horses, cat figures and piggy banks.

 

I love all things Parisian, Italian, Egyptian and African and my dream vacation would be to visit Paris, Venice, Egypt or to go on an African safari.  In a different life I might have been an archaeologist in the 1800's, a flapper in the 20's, a WAC in the 40's or a spy in the 60s.
