I've been away from lovely swap-bot for about a year, but now I'm baaaack! Here I am in a nutshell.

Crazy things I've done: taken 25 teenagers hiking in Corsica, auditioned for a radio show, learned fencing, lived in paris for three years, wrote for a home fashion / design website.

I like: literature, paintings, curry, gin and tonics, cryptic crosswords, kitsch, vintage housewares, tea, china tea cups, design, denmark, paris, london, renting movies, collecting tacky postcards, beading, photography, camping, handbags and purses, buttons, swapping, and making lists.

If I were a tea I would be regular english breakfast, mint, vanilla, chai, or caramel.

More things on my radar: mint & chocolate combined, retro scandinavianesque patterns, french, the sound of music, hats, bunches of tulips, playing soccer, picnics.
