I am a HUGE believer in Random Acts of Kindness. It's a way of life in my house. I try to brighten someone's day whenever I can. It's easy to do even on a budget. Just being kind is free!
Occasionally I sign up for swaps that might make someone go What the...this doesn't match her profile.........?
My grandpa was a stone mason who made beautiful cemetery headstones. I love old cemeteries and the gorgeous antique or old statues, markers and monuments. I like walking through them an looking at the stone art.

Exotic Morocco and India
*History and things that have history. I would love to visit Europe to see the architecture.
Occasionally primitive and rusty items catch my eye too. Particularly in the autumn. I love the colors of autumn, ( I just LOVE Autumn) the rich golds, ambers, rich oranges, like autumn's leaves. I adore pumpkins.
Candles in Pumpkin, Spice, Vanilla, Cinnamon, orange and cloves etc. Basically "food scents" not floral.
Tea~ I prefer mine wrapped please, Earl and Lady Gray, plain, chai, orange spice etc. I will try most, except I don't like green
Lots more.... woodland, Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, Under the Sea, Fairy tales and MANY styles and themes not listed.
I have loved making and giving food gifts like cookies, brownies and cupcakes, liqueurs, and making their pretty packaging (love to make pretty packages, and have tons of cupcake cups, silicone molds, tiny paper bags, boxes etc.) all year long!
I can be a contradiction, although I am not into holidays, I may sign up for a swap because I love the theme, color etc. Victorian hearts, or a Halloween swap that is a black piece of jewelry or something. Don't worry I won't rate down if you send something! Any questions please ask. Sometimes you just feel like making something different.
I recycle packing material of all kinds. So your package and/or wrapping on the OUTSIDE might look a little rough.
I am a non smoker, so if you smoke, please air out or Febreeze, your items. Smoke smell gives me a headache (So will too much febreeze). Thank you SO much!
I also get a headache from many scents. So pretty pretty please no perfume-y items unless it's listed in my "likes". :-)
I LOVE books and reading. Especially old books of all types, cookbooks, and books on decorating, party and tea ideas. Childrens vintage story books and primers including the 20's to the 50's. Etc. I would rather hold an actual book instead of an electronic device.
I am also a magazine junkie who loves Somerset Life, Somerset Home etc. Romantic Country, Victoria, Cottage Style, and similar types. I love pre 1950 ) magazines and ads too. I can be a voracious reader when a tome catches my eye.
I have a VERY strong belief in Almighty God. However please no religious or occult items of any kind. No crosses, rosaries, goddess figures, buddha, pentagrams, spells, magic, astrology, or signs, divination, ghosts, demons, demonology, etc. I don't believe in fate, past lives, or that everything happens for a reason. Nor do I believe it's "God's" will when bad things happen. Pease nothing political either.
I believe humans were created with free will. I will NEVER be rude or disrespectful to you for what you believe. It would go against what I believe. Just because we don't share the same opinions, or beliefs doesn't mean I don't like or respect you! It's not my place to judge others. (I hope you will feel the same towards me.)
👇👇PLEASE don't waste your time or money 👇👇
I am a SEASONAL over Holiday person. Leaves over witches, snowmen over Santa etc.
Floral or non-food type scents.
Magazine clippings. I have TONS of magazines, these would be wasted on me. So would bits of paper, unless it's old.
Unwrapped or green tea.(I know it's good for me I can't help it.) Also PLEASE check the expiration dates on your teabags. I recently received one that was 4 years old and the wrapper was dirty. It must have been passed around quite a bit. Don't waste your postage money, and I make enough garbage..
Extreme gore, blood, guts and violence, slasher films.
I don't care much for peach, rust (unless in an autumn theme) burgundy or hunter green, and most "mauves".
Not into Southwest type images or colors. Howling coyotes, Kokopellis, cactus, etc etc.
Sticker no thank you's - Reward type, "shiny " holograph, photo realistic, lenticular, or childish stickers from a pad, foam etc.
I don't care for "country" ~IE: bears in crochet hats, ducks, geese, pine hearts etc. or too cutesy. Classic country with it's oil lamps, stoneware bowls, old wooden handle utensils, and gingham is another matter. I would love to have a little cottage in the woods.
Hummels and Precious Moments are not for me.
Liars
Deliberate Flakers. Thieves really.
People who make fun of others, are mean to children, the elderly or cruel to people or animals.
DRAMA. I HATE drama!! I don't need or want the stress.
THANKS SO MUCH ( especially if you made it this far!)
