I think there is magic in whatever it is someone is choosing to send to me. The thought of "this one for her" is nice to think about. So, please send whatever it is that you'd like. And please write to me. I like storytelling and feeling like I just shared a moment with you across the miles.
I am also open to further correspondence and would be happy to mail a postcard back to you as well for anyone interested.

Some (a lot) about me!
Admirer & Collector of stationery, postage stamps, ephemera, typewriters, postal history, books, pencils and lovely pens. Polaroid photographs...
I have extremely organized "chaos" a minimalist who is also a collector... I use old wooden cigar boxes to sort, store & adore my different pieces of ephemera, stationery and correspondence. I save each postcrossing postcard in one box that is now, happily, becoming quite full.

I'm a newly minted American Philatelic Society member. I was sponsored by an unknown person and to me, this was such a kindness. I love being apart of the postal communityuse.. I proper stamp albums for my growing postage collection.

I absolutely love COLOR and the 1960s & 1970s aesthetic (literally all of it, flowers, architecture, furniture, wallpaper, decor, landscapes,, illustration. Glass pieces...
I am currently obsessed with vintage folk art from czechoslovakia, "unusual" looking people I like absurd beauty, I like Landscapes or national parks that feel slightly haunted (think China vintage stamps in black&white of mountains shrouded by clouds or seascapes that are not sunny but more torrential) I know this all probably sounds weird...

Some things I'd find pleasing through the post if you need ideas...

+ If you use a typewriter let me know how it came to be yours. I love seeing all of the different fonts on models too, so let me know what type you're using. Or if you have a typewriter or a typewriter story that comes to mind, write me about it.

+ Stamp collector or even just a novice? Show off your best on the postcard and let me know the Scott number or year issued if you know. BONUS POINTS if you tell me how an American girl can purchase postage from your countries Postal Service!

+ All things floral & mod 🌼🌼🌼

+ Collector? What do you collect & why. Why do you love the things you love?

+ Secrets. The things you'd never thought you'd tell have a safe harbor within me. I love sharing secrets with strangers.

+ Tell me about the mundane things you find beauty in. For me, it's taking walks and looking all around at everything. Photographing small pieces of beauty that likely go unnoticed with everyone staring straight into their phone at all time these days.

+ Recovery. Are you in recovery? Share your experience with me . The good, the bad, the ugly.

Happy Mailing!
