About Me & Things I Love

Hello! My name is Julie and I'm 41 years old. I'm French Canadian and I'm married to a wonderful American woman named Denise.

I've been into penpalling and swapping for years. I started writing letters when I was 9, so it's been over 32 years now! I have wonderful penpals who are very dear to me. I love snail mail and everything that has to do with it: pretty letter sets, colorful pens, stickers, decorated envelopes, notecards...

My love for paper products + my interest in penpalling + my creative side = La Papierre! I started designing letter sets just for fun and eventually opened my own stationery shop. I love having my own business!

Things I love receiving: writing paper, notepads, notecards, sticker sheets (not loose please), envelopes (size A2 or bigger).

I’d like to get back into slams and friendship books!

I’m a fan of true crime, memoirs and fennel. I have a handwriting fetish, I live by a river and love the sound of water. I make good sushi!

I have a 16 year old son who’s autistic, and 2 dogs who are my babies: a Beagle, and a Chihuahua mix.

Wishlist

I'm open to one-on-one trades.

One of my favorite things in the world is stationery: notecards, notepads, postcards, letter sets, stickers, envelopes, washi tape, etc.

I like my postcards blank and sent unwritten in an envelope. I'm not interested in viewcards (tourist type postcards). I prefer cute, beautiful, funny or thoughtful postcards. But I like notecards even more than postcards, especially birthday cards and thank you cards.

I don't like loose stickers, but always need sticker sheets! My favorite themes are listed below.

I love letter sets and I write long letters, so I prefer bigger sets with at least 6-8 sheets of the same size. If envelopes are included, that's great! If not, that's OK too, as I have several of them already.

I also love notepads and journals with decorated sheets (not plain). I prefer larger ones (4"x6" and bigger).

I'm not into kawaii, though I like some of it. I usually prefer classy/modern stationery. But I like some cute stuff once in a while too!

I don’t like characters like Winnie the Pooh, Hello Kitty, Diddl or anything Disney... I do like cute characters and animals, but not most big brands!

My favorite themes:

  • letterpress
  • love, romance, couples
  • kitsch
  • vintage / retro
  • snail mail (letters, stamps, envelopes, mailboxes, airmail, etc)
  • woodland creatures (owls, foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs, deer, rabbits, etc)
  • gnomes and mushrooms
  • cottagecore
  • octopi
  • anatomy (heart, brain, etc)
  • candy
  • popcorn
  • fruit (cherries, strawberries, lemons, limes, etc)
  • vegetables
  • picnics
  • sushi
  • food in general
  • dogs (Chihuahuas, Beagles)
  • cats (especially Sphynx cats!)
  • circus
  • birthdays
  • books
  • anything French / European
  • carousels and carnivals
  • vintage florals, butterflies & birds
  • bird nests and eggs
  • fairies and mermaids
  • pin-ups
  • vintage housewives
  • Barbie
  • Marilyn Monroe / Audrey Hepburn
  • Mr. Men and Little Miss
  • The Smurfs, Tintin, Asterix
  • Babar and other cute elephants (giraffes too!)
  • Beatrix Potter (Mrs. Tittlemouse, Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Peter Rabbit)
  • Dick and Jane
  • Sarah Kay (and vintage Holly Hobbie)
  • Matryoshka
  • anything asian / oriental
  • religious icons
  • handwriting / calligraphy
  • anything gothic / dark / spooky
  • friendship
  • ghosts
  • monsters
  • 80's cartoons
  • rainbows
  • children's illustrations
  • anything weird / unusual / quirky / unique
  • turtles (my mom collects them)

No Thanks!

These are things that I DON'T like and would prefer NOT to get. Thank you in advance for not sending me anything listed below!

  • plain, one color felt or foam stickers
  • 3D stickers - I prefer flat ones since I mostly use them to decorate envelopes!
  • tourist type postcards / viewcards
  • art postcards
  • stuff covered in glitter (a tiny bit is fine!)
  • memo sheets or pads (I like larger sheets and notepads - 4"x6" and bigger)
  • Winnie the Pooh
  • Lisa Frank
  • Diddl
  • Hello Kitty

Favorites

TV shows:

  • Dexter
  • Grace & Frankie
  • Grey's Anatomy
  • Lost
  • Medium

Thank you for joining NTG ♥ A Handful of Notecards ♥! I actually created it after reading your post in the April 2013 Check-In thread in the Group Forums. So you could say it was created in your honor! :)

Thanks for being my first friend. Without you I'd be drawing faces on fruit and calling them Julie. But with you, I get to call YOU Julie, and everyone rests a lot easier knowing that.
