Hello,

I'm 33 years old from the Netherlands. Living with my boyfriend and work as office manager at a small IT company.

We have 2 'kids', 2 Persian cats and love gardening on my balcony. Also plants in my house, I'm trying to make an Urban Jungle :)

My collection is postage stamps. I collect animal stamps from all over the world. Especially these:

cats - wild cats - horses - zebra's - flamingo's - deer - hedge hogs - panda bears - penguins - squirrels - unicorn & pegasus

Also I enjoy nice postcards in the same theme. I'm not very fond of the typical touristic cards except if they're from less known countries in Africa, Middle East, Asia.

If you're sending me from Europe (Belgium or Germany best) I'd love to receive cuttings from plants. But only if it's well packed so it would survive the trip to the Netherlands.

I also love:

vintage - botanical prints - black & white - old - rainbows

I like teas; white, green, herbal (but not black tea), coffee, hot chocolate. I like candies, chocolate bars and cookies.

What I really love is thriftstores. I don't go there too often because I'd be bankrupt if I did. I like items with a story. Instead of buying everything new I prefer to give items a 2nd (or maybe 3th or 4th) life. I also try to re-use things, I "collect" items because I might have an other purpose for them. If it stays around the house more than 1 year without using it, than I will give it away or bring it to a thriftstore.

My favourite colors are pink, purple, black & white, red, turquoise and green.

I don't like San Rio, stickers, advertisement stuff. Also the touristy postcards I don't really enjoy. No religious items as I'm an Atheist.

I try to recycle most things I bump into. This also means that I often use bubblewrap envelopes for a 2nd or 3th time. Sometimes cardboard, newspaper etc.
