About Me

Hello! Welcome to my profile.. I am a self confessed book worm, coffee addict and a fan of snail mail...

I often feel I was born in the wrong century... I like nothing more than curling up with a good old favourite book in front of a roaring log fire getting lost in far away lands... My needlework skills I am afraid need polishing as well as my cooking skills. Writing letters and making close friendships are my passion. Clubbing, nights out are not for me.

WHAT I LIKE ....(not extensive.. i pretty much like anything.. chances are if you send me it i will like it and will add to my lists of likes...)

  • A -Anything from before 1950 - clothes, accessories e.t.c. Afternoon tea.
    • B - bags ( black only).
    • C - Chocolate ( especially coffee), Candles. Cat toys/ treats. Coffee. Call the midwife
    • D - documentaries dvds on subjects such as the paranormal, bad weather, witches, eating disorders, programs like frontier house.
    • E
    • F
    • G. Ghosts.
    • H - Haunted houses, History, Handmade Items, Hot chocolate.
    • I - infectious diseases.
    • J
    • K
    • L
    • M
    • N -Nursing memoirs

O -

P - period dramas

Q - Quirky items

R -

S - Slippers/Socks (Size UK 5), life in service memoirs ( maid/ nanny etc). Shower products. Snail mail

T - Timeslip novels ( children's books)

U - Upcycled Items, unique items

V - vintage items, Vintage correspondence. Volcanoes.Vintage children stories,- adventure, holiday, career and family stories, school stories. Not fussed about condition of books as long as they are readable.

W - Winter accessories

X - Y- Z . Zines


I WOULD PREFER NOT TO RECEIVE:

  • A.T.C's

  • Anything with nuts, strawberry, orange or peanut butter, wafers or plain Hershey chocolate...not allergic just don't like...

  • No Hello Kitty items... i have more then enough

  • I CAN SEND

Comment: Thank you so much for such a wonderful package. I cannot wait to read the book it looks like something I will really enjoy, I am going to keep it for my honeymoon in a few weeks. I love the bookmark, using it in my current book :)

Comment: Thank you! :) I enjoyed reading your penfriend experiences! Sadly, I also mostly lost contact with everyone I wrote to over the years. I think it happens as we grow up unfortunately :( I know for me, I got sidetracked by life and just had less and less time to write letters... I got back into it obviously with swap-bot but I have stayed away from getting consistent pen friends again since I just don't have the time :(

Comment: Thank you for hosting this fun, introspective swap and for your lovely letter! I smiled to see the blue Air Mail envelope and colorful postage, the sweet bear stationery, and your smiling handwriting; thank you for sharing your snail mail history with me! It made me wonder whatever happened to our childhood overseas penfriends. I also agree that letterwriting is preferable to talking :) I hope you have a good visit with your friends!

I received your profile surprise tag. Thank you, I really like the laces.

cmdunderground on Jan 25, 2014:

I did enjoy them. I ate them very slowly so they would last longer. They are all gone now :(

cmdunderground on Jan 13, 2014:

Received cheap postage tag today. Wow! They sure look different than anything we have here. Although we do have that brand name. Usually they just make easter candy though. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet. Well, it's half that, and half, if I like it and want more I'm screwed! Lol I can't run to the store and buy more. Haha. But I am very excited about it! Thank you SO much for sending them to me!!!! :)
