1. My favorite color is yellow and this is my favorite yellow jumpsuit.

2. I need to pursue my archivist and librarian tendencies—I have a weakness for paper goods.

3. I swear like a sailor and miss the sea.

4. I've been misplaced>> I should have been born Scandinavian.

5. I'm related to Pocahontas.

6. I don't like chocolate and coffee but I enjoy teaparties.

The collection came too easy, but OMG these gems are tasty! so lovely——I can't quite get over it! I will be sorting this weekend.
