Hello

And welcome to Hipster-Curious! My name is Catt and I'm a crafter.

I collect old books, maps, used stamps and make something new and useful out of them. I've assembled a vast collection of discarded and un-loved objects I try to repurpose to a new use. To be fair, I don't limit myself to just upcycling, I like to try out all sorts of crafty projects.

I run an Etsy shop, called Brinner, where I sell some of the paper crafts I make. I absolutely adore my shop, yet felt like I needed another creative outlet as well. I needed a place to talk about the ideas I have (successful and especially the not-so-successful ones), things I want to make, projects I've been thinking about and most of all, that really awesome paper I found and I just can't get over how squee-worthy it is. (Yes, I tend to squee in delight over pretty things. Only a little though. Everybody does that. Right?)

(Right?)
(Also, "Squee" is totally a word)

Anyhow, I'm very excited to get started. My head is full of ideas I need to get out and hopefully writing them down will help me keep organized.

Love,
Catt
