Valenciahomesteads

Hi there! 💐

I’m Valencia, early 40s and I living in rural Virginia. I’m a little bit of a Renaissance woman—I’m a homesteader, florist, barista, and beekeeper!

I recently got engaged, which is a very exciting new chapter for me. I also have a sweet gray cat named Gray and four chickens: Henry, Roxy, Buffy, and Kiki. I have a garden and orchard that keeps me extremely busy most of the year. I love that I can slow down in winter and get back to crafting. Note: Do not name your chickens. As soon as you do, something may go wrong. There is no longer a Henry. Send me chicken and rooster ephemera so I can makw an ATC and junk journal page about my remaining hens who are laying consistently now please.

I have a six-year-old niece who I absolutely adore, and I’m always finding little things to keep me busy, creative, and happy.

I’m so excited to be pen pals and get to know you! 💌

Homesteader.Crafter. Florist. Living on the East Coast in Zone 7. I enjoy all types of crafts and absolutely love anything floral, cat, chicken, hummingbird, or butterfly related. I make handmade cards and collect vintage stationary. I drink lots of tea and matcha daily as well as espresso here and there. I get cuts often on the homestead thats why I love receiving colorful bandaids.

I enjoy painting with both acrylic and watercolor, journaling as well getting back to the simple life in every possible. You can find me outside in the garden whenever I get a chance to be. Receiving and sending mail reminds me of the old times and natural communication. I send stickers, tea bags, vintage ephemera, postcards, and card stock. I made bookmarks, tags, pockets, and anything else for my junk journal. I am enjoying swapping so far and look forward to reaching many international friends and USA friends.

I HAVE: playing cards, vintage postcards, stickers, feathers, vintage greeting cards, feathers, handmade items, ribbon, fabric scraps, and love letters from the 1940s and 50s.

I LIKE : anything vintage, handmade, floral, garden, purple, recipes, cats, tea, chickens, and birds especially hummingbirds. My favorite color is purple then black, colorful bandaids.
