I like intricate designs such as Celtic knotwork and filligree as well as abstract things like marbling. I like stained glass and pictures of it (got a Tiffany glass calendar now). Scarves and bandanas. Food and food related stuff. Craftwork. Surrealistic anythings (although it's not everybody's cup of fur). I like candles and (pleasantly) smelly things.

I'm allergic to nickel, but not seriously. Nickel in anything except earrings is fine.
