Hi! I hail from sunny Singapore, married to a history buff and we are owned by 3 cats.

I am an 80s child passionate about music and fashion from the 50s and 60s. I collect retro or vintage accessories, trinkets, and posters.

Other loves include film photography, traveling, and journalling. Actually, all three of these go hand in hand and my most prized possessions are my travel journals.

People fascinate me :) I am constantly wondering about what people are thinking about, what makes them do certain things, how they feel about issues, their hopes, their dreams. Feel free to tell me your most random thoughts, or what you had for breakfast even, I'd love to hear about it.

• CATS! My three cats were all adopted from the streets when they were months old. They are now 1 year, 4 year and 5 year old. All of them are domestic shorthair.

• SCENTS! I love woody or light floral smells.

• COFFEE! I am an avid home brewer.

• TEA! I prefer delicate white teas, or floral infused tea with bergamot or lavender.

• Vintage-themed paper products

Appreciate if you can take note of the following:

• Wherever possible, please use stamps and not electronic postage labels. I will keep all your pretty stamps!

• Things I have received and don't know what to do with them: dried leaves and flowers, ATCs, buttons, coins.

• Please consider the heat and humidity in my country. Things melt in the mail :) e.g. chocolates, candies, candles, soap.

I tend to prefer illustrated cards but I welcome nice photographic cards as well.

My collection for the following is growing and I'd love to receive more! :: Alphonse Mucha, Nouvelle Images, Jetoy, anything relating to Campbell soup or Coca Cola (ad cards mostly)

I also really love these: Ghibli Studios, vintage ad cards, retro pin-ups, book covers, Peter Rabbit, Audrey Hepburn, chinese opera, your local food, desserts, coffee, tea, philately-themed, traditional costumes, ballet.

For touristic cards, I generally prefer single-view or maps.

• Postcards: please see above. If sent as part of a packet, blank or written are fine :) If blank I may use them for postcrossing.

• Maps. I keep maps from all my travels and would love to collect more! If you send me any free map from your local tourism office, I will love you!

• Airmail-related items

• Stationery with owls, russian dolls or buntings

• Stickers, washi, doilies, rubber stamps, ink pads, coloured pens, anything decorative

• Envies: homemade or storebought

• Postage stamps: used or unused welcomed :)

• Linen items: coasters, bookmarks, pouches, tea towels

• Small pouches, drawstring or zippered. I have lots of trinkets, coins, stamps etc and pouches help me organise them :)

• Tea: I drink white tea, and use stronger black tea for baking, so anything goes!

• Hot chocolate :)

• Gift tags and labels.

• Brown paper products: envies, postcards, notecards, gift tags, cookie bags, wrapping paper, paper bags.

• Notebooks, any size.

• Aerogrammes, written or blank welcomed.

• Anything relating to cats

• Anything relating to coffee

• Anything relating to ballet or classical music

• Anything with a nautical theme

• Anything relating to Jane Austen, Peter Rabbit, Alphons Mucha, or Audrey Hepburn

I put lots of efforts into my swaps and I will not sign up for anything that I don't think I can do a good job of. My sends and ratings always always go out on time. If you are ever going to be late with your sends, please get in touch with me, I will understand and appreciate the gesture.

Heather Greaves (liveoutloud76) - this user had not been online since August 2013, after she signed up for "Postcard Swap" http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/155293 I sent her the swap, but she has also not left me a rating. It also seemed like she had flaked on her partner.
