I'm 29 years old, a Navy wife, recently moved to Southern California. I love coffee, my dog, music, films, anything sparkly or fuzzy, and am a thrift store junkie! And... I seem to be developing a possibly unhealthy obsession for baskets. My husband has taken to calling me "Queen of the Wicker People".. haha

I’m a compulsive ‘dabbler’. I love to do a bit of this, a tad of that, try new things and get my hands dirty making awesome goodies. I have been making candles for about 8 years, but love to dig into other crafts/materials at times.

I run two little webshops on Etsy, sullenmonarch.etsy.com for my handmade candles and CurioBoudoir.etsy.com for all the other little goodies I've been making.
