TeacupsandCandlesticks

Hello,

I love horror, Gothic, Witchy, Victorian, Dark Academia, Cottagecore, Witchcore, Goblincore. All things birds, crows and owls are my favorites.

My hobbies are drinking tea, reading, learning, table top games (DND, Pathfinder, Starfinder), board games, and cooking for my friends and family.

I've always loved writing letters, mail, packages, paper goods, and pens, so I'm very excited to be able to use some of my collections. I get almost all of it second hand.

My entire life I've been a night owl. I've tried just about every craft out there and love to build little gifts for my friends and family. I'm known as the best gift giver. Insert humble brag. Honestly I just like making people happy.

Animals are awesome, but I am allergic to anything with fur :( That doesn't stop me from playing with yours. I have a pet tortoise named Noino.

I love tea! Looking forward to doing some tea swaps. Please no chamomile or cinnamon.

Really anything, old, antiqued, or "classic"

Owls and Crows. Really any birds, although, I don't like them flying over me.

Frogs, they're just so cute and derpy.

Bees, Beatles, Butterflies, Moths, any bugs are fine, but please no maggots.

Snails

Oh, Boy. Where to start?

Ever since I was little my grandmother and I would go "Sailing" She's responsible for my love of antiques.

I love anything related to luck. Even more so if you have a story behind it, something personal or a family/cultural/religious tradition.

Please don't send any scraps of paper or things like that. I'm really bad at being creative and collaging things, but also hate to be wasteful so it will just end up in a death pile.

Please let me know if you don't get something, or it arrives damaged. I take pictures of everything, before I sent them out. I'm happy to remake something and show what was originally sent.

I just learned in my area my mail is still going through quarantine hold. Then gets shipped to Phoenix, and quarantined a second time... So please be patient if you haven't received something of mine.
