LittleNorwayCrafter

I live near the Salish Sea in Washington State, USA. My town, Poulsbo, is known as Little Norway and is sister cities with Oslo.

I love all things artsy, whimsical and creative. I tend to hobby jump, according to the weather, season and my mood.

I have two sons, a kitten, a husband, 6 hens, 1 rooster and lots of wildflowers and garden greens.

Quality I aim to send what I'd love to recieve and I hope you feel the same way. Its so fun to get happy mail.

Tea Swaps I would really appreciate herbal tea or green tea as I don't drink other caffeinated teas. Thank you! :)

Ephemera, Journaling swaps I love nature images, stickers, stamps. I love antique lace and ribbon more than new stuff. I love older book pages - especially with bw illustrations. I love old cursive and books/notes in foreign languages. Old sheet music, Vintage looking scrapbook paper or anything watercolor themed.
