So...
after seven and a half years together...
we're engaged!
(My ring is from Erie Basin & I love it.)
I'm Rachel, I live in Seattle, and this is a curation of adorned objects & snippets of my day.
Say hello: yurt.one@gmail.com.
I'm a graphic designer, jewelry designer, only child, and Radiohead addict. My little family includes a chatty cat (Rufus), anxious german shepherd (Bodhi), and future hubs (Stefan).
Most images on Elephantine are borrowed from other sites. Maybe even yours. Don't like your photos being used? Let me know.
(On the other hand, think your crafts / fashion / goodies / etc. would be a good fit? I'm always on the hunt for swoon-worthy stuff. Email me and I'll check it out.)
