Hi! I'm Andie.

I'm passionate about art, libraries, travel, volunteering & meeting people.
I like to give Free Hugs.
I'm veggie.
I love thrifting.
I love film, photography, illustration & graphic design.
I collect vintage postcards, photographs & letters.
I walked the Camino de Santiago in Sept/Oct 2017.
My favourite website at the moment:
https://www.window-swap.com/

My collecting theme for 2023: hands or related to hands (photo, illustration or painting)
I'm also collecting quotes so send me your favourite quote. Can be funny, smart, wise, inspirational or plain old good advice for living!

Fun, colourful or unusual stamps are always encouraged! Especially for Lunar New Year.
