I’m an artist, illustrator, writer, and collector of anything vintage Victorian, postal, maps, pens, dip-pens, calligraphy, stamps, and postcards.
I live in a Victorian seaport town in the Pacific Northwest Washington.
I’ve been collecting vintage postcards, maps and stamps since I was a young girl. My arts include drawing, black and white ink art, painting in acrylics and watercolor, cutting old paper magazines, ephemera, and discarded old books that are not savable. I’m fascinated with anything filled with love, hearts, Valentine’s, Halloween, Christmas, old, antique, vintage, writing, art, strange, unique, and beautiful flowers in bright colors. I also collect old dip pens, inks, calligraphy, mail art, ATC’s, Tags, 9 Pocket Art, typewriter’s, typesetting’s, stained glass, recycled unique creations, and charms. I love anything todo with children illustrations.
I’m very passionate about all postcards and will love any and all especially if it’s a work of your art, your illustration, hand drawn or painted. I also love inspiring or inspirational postcards, positive quotes, waterfalls, beaches, deep woods, animals, churches, symbols, castles, holidays, sea life, sea glass, whimsical, anything with wings, Harry Potter, Alice In Wonderland, your town, books, library, writing, nursery rhymes, Recipes, postal anything, stamps, old flower illustrations, poetry, and hearts.
I’m not sure why it took me so long to find this group, I’m sooo glad I did! I Love sending and receiving happy mail from around the World sharing a little love from my sweet Victorian town to yours wherever you may be! Happy mailing!!!
