Hello everyone, what a wonderful community this is!

Like everyone else in Swap-bot, I love receiving mail and feel like a smile arrives in my mailbox when I receive it. Postage ephemera is definitely one of my "likes".

I love animals and nature. My profile name is a mix of my two horses names. I no longer own them as we relocated, so have to settle for smaller companions.I have a cat and a wonderful dog that I spend many hours walking in the forest.

I like: sunflowers, roses and vintage items. I love the ballet, modern dance and music, handmade dolls, art dolls and Raggedy Anne; Vintage items and paper for collage mixed media arts. ephemera and old letters in envelopes with stamps on envelope. A profile surprise for me is used postage stamps, just clip them off your incoming envelopes and toss them in my package!

I enjoy photography and like to have my camera in tow "just in case".

I collected stamps in my childhood and teen years and have just rekindled my interest. I like commemoratives from commonwealth countries. ******** When sending me letters or postcards, I would reallly be happy if you used real stamps!

Travel is one of my lifes passions. Writing letters and meeting people across the miles helps me travel in my imagination! I am a busy hockey Mom. I enjoy gardening and spend every free daylight moment outside during our short spring/summer season. I grow flowers, particularly roses,lilies and sunflowers. In between the flowers I grow vegetable organically to feed my family. I would be happy to receive seeds of any variety. Heritage seeds or organics would be especially wonderful to come to my mailbox.

I am learning to sew again, haven't done any for 15 years. Having fun with incorporating sewing into paper collages and book making.

I like any type of tea as long as it is wrapped by the manufacturer. No loose tea. My FAV is chai.

I like animals but would also like to receive anthing folksy, nature, antique, vintage,travel theme items.

Like all types of music except for rap. Lily Allen and Sarah McLachlan are my fav female singers. I currently am listening to Indie music particularly Canadian- my favorites right now are Dan Mangan, Dala and the most amazing........Hawksley Workman. You need to see him live and you will also be addicted!

The Big Bang Theory. Law and Order. The Good Wife. Documentaries : Doc Zone

Please no evangelical/ conversion literature or no gory items. Spiritual or inspiring are more than welcome. thanks No loose or unwrapped tea.
