About Me

Hello from Ireland!

I love to craft, read, watch films, playing with my dog, and walking in nature. I enjoy travelling and having time to relax!

I find crafting very therapeutic as I have ongoing mental health issues as well as several invisible disabilities that can make day to day tasks very difficult.

I love being in nature and am blessed to live in a town on the River Shannon.

I am part of the LGBTQI+ community. I am prochoice. I believe Black Lives Matter. I support indigenous lives. I know that not all disabilities are visible and have several invisible disabilities myself.

I always rate and always send so please contact me if something doesn't arrive! Please allow extra time if you live outside of Europe as I'm sending from Ireland.

I love receiving...

I like these items and themes:

  • Washi tape

  • Interesting papers eg. Vellum / embossed / metallic patterns or elements / handmade with flowers in it

  • Die cut shapes esp. plants, flourishes, nature themed.

  • Black Milk Project stamps!

  • Ephemera

  • Old vintage photographs of ladies, children, gay couples, animals (original photos or high quality reprints are both great!)

  • Pastels and muted colours

  • Rose gold

  • Flowers and leaves

  • Foxes / otters / rabbits / deer / sea turtles / fruit bats / woodland creaturesr

  • Butterflies and moths of all kinds

  • Naturalist themes (esp. with spooky overtones) - preserved butterflies, animal bones, feathers, dried flowers. Folklore oddities and real life chimeras such as jackalopes and chimera cats!

  • Mystic/Esoteric theme

  • Gothic, spooky theme (Think "a walk in a haunted woods under a full moon" rather than characters like Frankenstien/Dracula or the more cartoony/kiddy imagery)

  • Nature connected spiritualism, the seasons and the elements

  • Art Deco patterns

  • Traditional Japanese nature - cherry blossoms, bamboo, sakura flowers, waterlilies...

  • Tasteful nude images, especially vintage, and figure studies of the body

I would rather not receive...

These items/themes aren't to my taste:

  • Postage stamps (I have too many!)

  • Architecture

  • War related articles, photos, academic writings

  • Transport - trains, cars, etc.

  • Modern leaflets/magazines cut outs/photos/maps

  • Religious iconography of any kind, including angels or cherubs

  • Modern fashion and makeup (1980s onwards)

  • Post it notes

  • Neon colours

  • Children's/Kid-ish items

  • Planner, organiser, teacher and alphabet stickers

  • Portraits / photos / illustrations featuring just men

  • Christmas themed items esp. old fashioned imagery of Santa, nativity, angels, religious Items . (However I love wintery themed items - snowflakes, deer, holly, robins, hot cocoa, pine trees..!)

Favorite Crafts

I love to craft - ATCs, wax seals, ephemera, story prompts, and decoden are favourites of mine.

I've a sweet tooth!

Let me know if you'd ever like to receive anything unique to Ireland!

I love receiving sweets/candy from around the world!

Yummy: Honeycomb, milk chocolate, Haribo, sour candy, salted caramel, toffee, cola bottles, watermelon sour patch, chocolate pretzels, Ferrero Roche, pretzel/peanut/brownie M&Ms

Icky: Hersheys brand, spicy/hot, liquorice, coffee flavour, liquer/alcohol, dark chocolate, coconut, banana

Comment: OH WOW!!! You sent me such an amazing swap! I laughed out loud when I looked at the ATC. I absolutely love it! The envelope is GORGEOUS. So beautiful. I love all the stickers and tape and decorations! Thank you so much for all of the fun extra stickers! I love the botanist-type stickers, the washi tape, the magic stickers, and the Kuromi nail stickers! (I just bought some fake nails to decorate, and I can use these!!). The little pocket you made the put the stickers in...No idea how you made it, but it's so pretty with all the rainbow colors and sparkles and you even put a background in it! Wow!! You really spoiled me with all these beautiful things. Thank you!!!!
