I'm Erica, and thank you for visiting my Etsy shop!

I'm a writer and poet. I have written all of the poems and quotes you see in my shop. How do I do it? I take pages from damaged books and create tiny poems, and with my trusty marker, I make tiny poems from the words on the page.

But first, an introduction:

My grandfather was a photographer for the Amsterdam News during the famous Harlem Renaissance period, and my grandmother often was his model. Their home was filled with vintage clothes, housewares and boxes and boxes of pictures. My favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon was to sit at their knee and ask them a million questions about that time...where did you get this ashtray? When did you wear this dress? I love those earrings, Nana, did PopPop buy them for you??

That is where my love of story and adventure was born.

Some of my happiest times have been spent hunting for treasure on the page, on a screen, in my travels ..I enjoy and appreciate each and every item I create and share with you.

I can also do custom work, on request.

Thanks for stopping by.
