Hello! I am relatively new to the art of snail mail and swapping, but I'm very keen to share the pretty paper love. I am a 23 year old law student who, despite enjoying the corporate suits and stacks of cases to read, also enjoys colour, crafting and all things pretty and pastel :)

I have recently rediscovered my love of paper, stickers, crafting and just being creative in general after focusing so hard on my studies in the past few years. But I am at the tail end now, and hopefully soon will begin work. What I would love is to have some fun and interesting mail projects to be involved in, and have waiting for me when I get home from a day at the office (ideally :))

I'm also a bit of a classics nerd, having finished my undergrad with a double major in archaeology and classical studies (think ancient Greek and Roman stuff). I love all things historical, but especially anything to do with ancient Greece!

So please feel free to drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you!

I have a wide range of musical tastes, from indie alternative to classic rock to korean pop (yes, you read right, and I will admit it proudly!).

Right now I'm enjoying a lot of folksy indie pop, such as:

Regina Spektor;

Feist;

Ingrid Michaelson;

She & Him;

Mumford & Sons;

Haim (on occasion);

Laura Marling

I also can't say no to any french folk music, especially after discovering just how pretty Carla Bruni's voice is!

Freaks & Geeks

The Mindy Project

New Girl

Once Upon a Time

Black Books

Vicar of Dibley

The I.T Crowd

In short, I really do enjoy my TV shows, so if anyone has any good ones please feel free to share the love!

I have a huge list of D.I.Y.'s on my to do list, I love a good D.I.Y.!! At the top of that list is: - needle felting - Latch hooking (so inspired to make a rug after seeing a post on the a beautiful mess)

Obviously, growing up in the 90's, I devoured Harry Potter. LOVE IT.

I also love valley of the dolls (its just so well written), The Fountainhead, The Beautiful & The Damned...

I love a good chick lit book (though I will admit I prefer coming across as a literature nerd, but hey everyone is allowed some trash now and then!)

I'm currently reading Mindy Kaling's memoir (I love her!) after a spate of similar books: Tina Fey's Bossypants; Grace (Coddington) and Alexa Chung's 'It'.

All things crafty and/or pastel washi tape (see above) anything from different cultures or languages Chocolate (milk and dark)
