I am 19 and in my second year of university. I have a great boyfriend of just over two years that I love very much and who puts up with all my craziness! I work as a server at a restaurant. I enjoy shopping at thrift and antique stores, reading, spending time with family, crafting and traveling. My best friend lives in Germany and we frequently send each other interesting letter mail and packages full of goodies. I found this site and thought it would be great to exchange things in the mail and meet new people from all over. I love pretty mail - feel free to decorate! I try to decorate most of my outgoing mail because who doesn't love a fancy package?

I am interested in all genres of music but some of my favorites are Led Zeppelin, Sublime, Regina Spektor and Rilo Kiley. I'm not that into rap or techno and I like falling asleep to classical.

I love to read and some of my favorites include the Harry Potter series, The Picture of Dorian Gray, White Oleander and books by Chuck Palahniuk and Franz Kafka. If you have any books to recommend I'd love it!!! I'm currently reading House of Leaves.

I don't watch that much tv anymore but I love the series Weeds and try to catch Antiques Roadshow late every Tuesday night

I enjoy making collages, photography, art, cooking with my Nana, paper crafts, letter writing and thrifting/finding great deals on other peoples left-over junk! I have made a few altered matchboxes and would like to make more. I have collected a lot of fabric from various stores but don't have my own sewing machine and have yet to make anything creative other than a purse and a makeup bag. I would love to learn to needle felt. I would also love to receive a Dotee doll..and possibly the fixings to make one of my own!

Some little things that I like are stickers, mini books, tea, writing paper/stationery, Christmas ornaments, incense, fabric, children's books, buttons, cupcake cups, sprinkles, (anything related to cupcakes really)candy with great packaging (that I don't eat and just look at haha), silhouettes, magnets, address labels, moleskine journals, papercuts, silver (not real!) rings, fork bracelets, stamps, cute things with faces, owls, stuffies, plushies, shrinky dinks, flip books, pillboxes, peacocks, birds, koi fish, ANYTHING that is tiny really, old toys, etc etc. My favorite artist is Gustav Klimt.

Some things I wouldn't enjoy receiving are black licorice, anything 'Twilight', witchcraft/fairies/unicorns/dragons, toesocks, hello kitty, foods containing nuts, blythe - things? and sports items.

Some things that I collect or would be interested in receiving would be anything in my likes section, trinket boxes, fabric (flowery/cute/bold/food prints), tins, postcards(black and white, children, people, tasteful nudity, food, mail, art,weird, ..anything interesting!-not fond of tourist/state postcards), a needle felted animal (bears, bunnies, cats, ducks, penguins- anything!), a handmade amigurumi..they are so cute!, unused blank cards, whimsey jars of any theme, buttons, miniature food, vintage black and white portraits, and small oval frames.
