ashkin

I'm a youngish roller derby loving vegetarian. I live in a city in New Zealand. I love pinterest, tattoos, coffee, nursing, sunshine, travelling (london my favourite), rollercoasters, LOLcats, fashion, rockabilly, socks, lollies and red bull.

I am a little alternative in my style and jewellery and love one-of-a-kind, vintage and kitsch items.

Current project: Sort of a smash book / photo journal of my recent trip to the united kingdom

See the sort of stuff I send above at the flickr link :)

I have one cat called Ash (also my pseudonym) who has been missing (for the first time in his life) for 3 weeks now but I am staying hopeful my little sidekick will return :( I miss him so much.

I love the art (books, etc) of Miroslav Sasek.

Music: Ellie Goulding, Macklemore, Florence and the Machine, Of Monsters and Men

TV (don't have one but stream a lot): Louis Theroux documentaries, Dance Moms!!, any medical type dramas, Nurse Jackie etc.

I will always send items I would like to receive myself :) Swaps will be coming from New Zealand, so may take some time. It seems to be pretty fast lately, but can be a month or so for packages. Please contact me if you have any concerns about the status of a swap, and I'll do my very best to help.

I am not so keen on the following:
Cutesy: Angels, bears, flowers
Creepy: Clowns
Anything religion-based
Anything that smells strongly

...but other than that, I'd be totally pleased with anything sent! xx

Anything related to roller derby in your area - programs, posters, stickers etc, I will be happy to reciprocate for anyone interested in the same! These are my #1 most wanted items!

Any cute pairs of socks. I have an obsession.

I will also happily swap for any cute, child-friendly things I can send to my World Vision kid, who is 6. Her name is Sweety :) (World Vision guidelines mean it must be small, flat and fit in a regular business sized envelope.)

Would love any big letter postcards (reproductions!!!) - from your town, or anywhere really. Pictures can be found on google if you've never heard of big letter postcards :D

Other:
Handmade, local or cute christmas ornaments
Interesting cat toys
Unusual postcards (vintage, alternative etc)
Washi tape
Handmade/recycled envelopes
Airmail stickers / envelopes / motifs etc
Stuff for making bento box lunches
Cute new erasers
Anything about Disneyland (the park, not Disney)
Tokidoki
Tiny Dover activity books

I am just getting into postcards. I enjoy any postcards, but prefer they are stamped & written with your favourite quote on the back only (always a heart from me!).
