About Me

*** If you didn't get a swap from me, please message me first and let me know! I'll be happy to send you a replacement immediately! ***

Addicted to stationery and that's why I love snail mail!

Varied interests in literature, art, mythology, history, old Hollywood, movies and baseball. Pretty open-minded and just taking life one day at a time.

Favorite Books

Big fan of Ray Bradbury, W. Somerset Maugham, Banana Yoshimoto and Margaret Atwood. I mostly like to read science-fiction and classics. I also love poetry especially ones written by Adrienne Rich, Sara Teasdale and Pablo Neruda.

I collect quotes and put them in my quote journal. Anything I read that I like, I write in there. I also have a separate journal for lyrics.

Favorite Movies

Old Hollywood is on top of my list. I adore the era. James Stewart, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, Jack Lemmon, Myrna Loy... love them!

Some modern films I love are: The Painted Veil, Gattaca, Inception, Kate&Leopold, Another Earth, Stranger Than Fiction, Moon, You've Got Mail... to name a few!

Postcards

*** Preferably naked and stamped cards please! :) ***

I'm not too picky as long as it's not particularly vulgar, though I do love to receive postcards that pertain to:

  • art (big fan of van gogh, klimt, waterhouse, leighton, kahlo, rockwell, hopper, impressionists)

  • baseball

  • birds

  • cats

  • chinese or japanese calligraphy/ink style

  • disney/pixar movies (favorites are sleeping beauty, the little mermaid, pocahontas, mulan, aladdin, big hero 6)

  • literature

  • the little prince

  • museums

  • mythology

  • national parks/forests

  • old hollywood (eg., james stewart, james dean, myrna loy, audrey hepburn, katharine hepburn, etc.)

  • pin-ups

  • scenery/landscapes (fog, mountains, long-winding roads, sky/night sky, cherry blossoms, trees)

  • science-fiction

  • space/astronomy

  • (nice) touristy cards

  • urban

  • watercolors

  • whales

  • vintage/circus

Stationery

I like receiving the following:

  • notepad paper

  • letter writing paper

  • nice envelopes

  • postcards (used or new)

  • stamps

  • interesting stickers

  • bookmarks
