“This first scar made upon my impressionable heart...

So, for all of your wanderings around the internet, you have come across this little blog, my corner of the world.

The idea to title this blog 'Velvet Boxes' spawned from a small lyric by the band Augustana. It is my terminology for the small tidbits of wonderment in my life. Here you'll find things that amuse me, random thoughts about random subjects, photos, etc. Through all of this, you'll get a feeling for who I am as a person and why. I have taken a liking to creating "quote graphics," so you'll find that plastered mostly here as well.

So, sit. Relax. Have some tea. Enjoy.

"This first scar made upon my impressionable heart remained with me forever; never did this firm resolution leave my head; but I took good care not to tell anybody that I had resolved never to love without restraint a man who would not return this love in full; such was my disposition that my heart would have belonged entirely and without reserve to a husband who loved only me."

Catherine the Great (aka. Sophia Augusta Fredericka) from her personal memoirs
