About Me

Howdy, I'm Rebecca, and I live in Texas. I love history and am currently attending graduate school. I've been a vegan for over 3 years now, and it is a huge part of my life.

I am pretty much obsessed with the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers - specifically Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson (even their quarrels are interesting). I study all early American history up to the Reconstruction Era.

It's hard to describe what I like exactly. I like a mix of things consisting of: vintage, heritage, anything from and/or relating to the 18th and 19th centuries, tintype and postcard photos from late 19th century, cute Korean things (stationary, pens, charms, etc etc), kpop and kdramas, shabby chic.
