I’m in, thanks for the deadline extension!
Female, with way too many hobbies, mostly fiber-arts related (sewing, knitting, crocheting, quilting, embroidering, and historical aspects of all of the above: dream of one day making an outfit for historical battle re-enactor), but also gardening, cooking and baking, light woodworking, rearing caterpillars, nature illustration, omnivorous reading. Another unisex-M-or-women’s-L size here.
I love interesting found objects (cool rock? shell? stick? beetle wing? gimme) and handmade things and really good versions of cheap little ordinary objects and gizmos. I don’t mean expensive “prestige” fountain pens and what-not like in the in-flight magazine ads. But if you know somebody who makes what you consider Absolutely the World’s Best Version of a pencil eraser, or native plant seeds, or potholder, or eyebrow tweezer, or kale chips (actually. my kale chips are the best), and you send me that, I will show it off and brag about it till kingdom come. (“Now take a look underneath the feet of the coffee table here, these are a very special kind of felt furniture pads made from Peruvian bast fibers by indigenous growers and they come with their own leather-headed tacks! Isn’t that cool? So much softer yet tougher than ordinary felt. No, they were a present from a Secret Santa…” Believe it or not, my friends actually like discussing that sort of thing. 
)
I’m allergic to chocolate but my friends and family are not, and I love baking with chocolate! Other than that, a fan of pretty much any kind of food and drink (except orange juice. Have always disliked orange juice and don’t really know why).
Basically, a sucker for anything quirky or unique or local or “artisanal”, not much of a fan of the mass-produced or heavily processed or “trendy”. (Do not look too closely at the recycle bin with all the empty Lipton Cup-O-Soup and Kraft Deli Cheese Slices containers, plz thanku.)
