vala

My name is Vala and I live in Akureyri, North Iceland.

I love knitting, crocheting and collecting all kinds of things.

I mostly collect; stamps, postcards, books, CDs, DVDs, magnets and scratched/bend coins.

I love the idea of swapping stuff so I'm looking forward to trying this out :-)

I like ALL kinds of postcards; especially if it's from your country/city and represents it.

Here are few notes you can consider:

• China: I'd love to get a panda card

• Finland: I like the Moomins :-) http://s1046.photobucket.com/albums/b469/valasif/ here are the ones I already have.

• USA: I'm collecting states maps, so far I've got New York & Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Alaska, Florida, Delaware, Illinois, Colorado, Kentucky, Texas, Michigan, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, New Mexico, California, Georgia, North & South Carolina :)

• Birds

• Fauna & Flora
• Waterfalls
• Lighthouses!
• Maps
• Flags
• Underwater
• UNESCO
• I like famous cartoon characters on postcards (Simpson's, Moomin, Barbapapa, Garfield, Tom&Jerry, Disney's and Warner's brothers)

Magnets that are; *flags *shaped like your country *touristy *Cartoonish *something famous from your country/state

Check out my colnect profile (link shown above) I both collect used and mint. I like all stamps but these are the ones I try to collect as much of as possible:

*Europa CEPT *Stamp day *Birds *Flora *Fauna *Souvenir sheets *cartoons

Dislikes: Stamps of someone's head The queen Elizabeth stamps from U.K Self-adhesive stamps

I like all bright colors & earth colors as well. I mostly knit out of wool. I don't use cotton yarn much. I don't like acrylic yarn.
