Hi! :) Just a girl who loves snail-mail. I also enjoy creating homemade cards, and (whenever I get the gumption) homemade journals! I also like gardening, anything related to the outdoors, and flowers.
For a VERY detailed look at my interests, please check out my Pinterest account (linked above). It has everything organized neatly.
I am very drawn to Asian-related items, especially those from or related to China, Japan or Korea (although I enjoy all Asian countries). I am interested in learning Chinese (Γ¦ΛβΓ§ΛΒ±Γ₯Β¦æ±β°Γ¨Β―ΒΓ―ΒΌΒ).
In particular, I like:
-Asian art, classical and modern. Japanese woodblock prints are lovely!
-Asian street life (i.e., photographs of people on the street, in subways, vendor food on streets, etc.),
-Asian architecture and gardens.
As for "Kawaii": I am addicted to anything that could possibly be classified as kawaii. My favorites include Rilakkuma, Hello Kitty, and Domo.
I am always on the lookout for more stationery. I like all types, from girly to more formal stationery.
Stamps: A girl's gotta send mail somehow! I'm interested in any and every kind of unused stamps.
As for stickers: I cannot get enough. I like them all- raised, flat, puffy, scratch-n-sniff, glittery, holographic. If they stick, I am in love. (just no teacher/rewards pretty please!) :)
Totally an "Old Soul". If I could live in previous decades, I would. I like:
-anything from the Regency, Victorian and Edwardian periods
-anything from the 1930s-60s
-books over 100 years old (I scour the bookshops for these whenever I go!).
Enjoys reading everything, but here's a (very) short list of my top favorite books & authors:
-"Harry Potter" series
-Anything by Jane Austen
-"Anna Karenina",
-"Memoirs of a Geisha"
-Anything by C.S. Lewis
A HUGE dream of mine is to eventually travel to both England and Germany. I am completely interested in ANY possible item related to these countries.
FOOD! Good grief, this should be first! :D
Likes: salty, spicy, sour, sweet, nearly all kinds of candy, snacky, healthy, and the not-so-healthy kinds of food.
Dislikes: mushrooms, coconut, anchovies, octopus, squid. I've actually never had anchovies. But they kinda freak me out.

Welcome to swap-bot! :oP Don't you just love the feel and smell of really old books? Wish I could afford a Jane Austen first edition. :o(
Have fun here!
