Hi! My name is Sarah. I am a neurodivergent cat lover located in Austria ๐ฆ๐น/Europe ๐ช๐บ. I work in higher education ๐ซ.
I understand German, English, Italian, Finnish and Spanish. Feel free to write to me in any of these languages. ๐ฆ๐น๐ช๐ฆ๐ฎ๐น๐ซ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ
โ Animals - especially cats, but also butterflies and insects, birds, bats, forest animals... Foxes are cute but not my favourite animal, despite my username! ๐๐ฆ
โ Cards and postcards that have been written on. I like to get glimpses into people's lives, traditions, countries...
โ Anything handmade - you can always send me handmade cards even if it's not explicitly in the swap description! โ๏ธ
โ Languages and cards in different languages.
โ Nature, especially forests, mountains, anything floral ๐ชป
โ I love travelling, so anything travel-related, e.g. tell me what to visit in your area!
โ Colours: green, blue, pink, purple
โ Glitter unless it's loose and shiny things, holographic paper and stickers, gold foil washi. I'm a magpie!
โ Patterns, floral and geometric
โ Photography (your own or store bought photography cards)
โ Art, especially impressionism and urban sketching, but really anything handmade because I love seeing and learning new styles! ๐จ
โ Anything "unique", even if weird (think a weird postcard that you are not sure why anyone ever decided it should be printed)
โ "Textured" cards that have some 3D or otherwise textured elements!
โ Space themed stuff ๐ช
โ witchy and "creepy" things (think illustrations of skeletons with flowers, black cats, potions - no gory things) ๐งโโ๏ธ
โ cards with feminism/Pride/veganism/"stop climate change" slogans and messages on them ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
You don't need to send me extras unless it's a swap requirement. I have enough stuff!
โ artwork or envelopes covered in lots of tape because it's difficult to open and recycle
โ religious items and cards
โ illustrations/photos of babies or children or drawings made by children ๐ถ๐ป
โ apes, monkeys and horses ๐
โ balloons ๐
โ Disney, superheroes, anime ๐ฆธ๐ผโโ๏ธ
โ fine and loose glitter that gets everywhere
โ "toxic positivity" quotes and quotes like "live laugh love"
โ AI "art"
โ๏ธ making postcards, of course!
โ๏ธ drawing, mostly fineliner doodles, alcohol markers or watercolour pencils
โ๏ธ writing, especially with fountain pens and pretty inks
๐งต sewing, mainly clothes for myself and friends
My "post office" is just a supermarket, so sometimes my mail is not stamped and processed the day I drop it off. โ๏ธ
Since mail got more expensive yet again and mail with stamps can only be sent as economy (not air mail) from now on, I am going to cut back on international swaps and join more EU and digital swaps.
Mailing times according to the national post: Europe - up to 12 working days WW - up to 20 working days
If you haven't received anything from me 1 month after the sent date (Europe) or 2 months after the sent date (outside of Europe), please contact me and I'm happy to resend โณ

LOL, you're a genius. I was wondering how the heck to make ink swabs. A brush makes total sense.... and I don't have a spare one for this purpose. Oy vey. Only makeup brushes in my house... but I'm not risking those, lol. I already get ink stains on my fingertips. I'm going to look super weird with ink stains on my face. Hahahaha... Anyway, cheerios!
Have a wonderful holiday!
welcome to Sunshine swaps!
