swarbles.

a mostly goodhearted twentynine year old lady who lives in a land where it's winter half the year. starlings nest in the soffit along the side of my house and mourning doves roost under the roof above of my door stoop. i fall in love all the time.

sometimes i sing.
sometimes i make things.

Did you know… before it became the Mulberry Street Library we all know and love, the building housed a chocolate factory, operated by Hawley & Hoops, at the turn of the 20th century. (This image, though not Hawley & Hoops specific, provides a look inside the  process of grinding chocolate - yum!)
