About Me

My name is Sarah.

I live in the oldest and most easterly city in North America. The same city I was born in. And though you might catch me saying I can't stand it here, I think my island is very pretty. You can tell by my obsession with photographing it.

My favourite colours are earth tones. This means I will always choose to buy a grey or brown shirt over a pink or yellow one.

I come from a long line of bread makers and tree cutters. But I'm pretty sure I could never do either thing adequately. Instead I am a political scientist - whatever that means.

I've never been to Europe. But I have lived in the Arctic.

I don't dream of owning a mansion, but a little old lady cottage complete with ugly flower patterned chesterfields. And a hammock - oh, how I ache for a hammock!

I like ponies, white calla lilies, Christmas lights all year round, turning paper into art, Canadian musicians, vintage Molly Ringwald, gender equality, Emily Dickinson, stickers, snuggies, and any painting ever painted by Frida Kahlo.

I have friends that would make you jealous and a car that can take me anywhere I want to go (provided I fill her with gas).

I strive to be honest and funny, loving and gracious, quiet and loud, respectable and respecting. And to live my life with some semblance of meaning.

The Jersey Shore makes me laugh.
