about me

Update 29/3/16 Hello everyone! I thought I would get back into this swap-bot thing since I've enjoyed it so much in the past!

I LOVE

I LOVE cute stuff. I'm a serious kawaii collector. This includes stationery, stickers, sweets, soft toys, cabochons, lip balms, socks, etc. However I'm also a fan of vintage, steampunk and fantasy inspired things.

Also I have four BJDS (ball joint dolls) – three boys, (one 52cm, one 60cm and one 70cm) and three girls (one 70cm, one 52cm and one 45cm).

FAVOURITE STUFF

• Anything from my etsy favourites♥ would be amazing

• Also anything from my wishpot!

ball-joint dolls, bears, boy-love, cabochons, camp/scouting badges, pins etc, charms, cole mohr, collages you've made, cute food - candy, cupcakes, doughnuts, desert, milk, decoden, decotape, deers, doll props, drawing/collages/fanart, eskimo/inuit art/postcards/trinkets, fantasy, fabric flowers, faeries, folk art, forests, foxes, gel pens, glitter, kawaii stationery, larp, lip gloss, lolita, maps (the large, folded kind), native american art/postcards/trinkets, nail polish (black, chunky glitters and pastel pinks, blues and greens preferably), postcards (american scenery i.e. camps, forests, mountains. etc especially!!), pyjamas, re-ment, retro items, robots, roleplaying (larp and tabletop), stationery, stickers, socks (us mens 9/us woman's 8), soft toys, squirrels, classic lolita, tea (especially unusual flavours), tiny stuff (books, bottles etc.), travel tickets (old, new, international, inter-state, local etc), trinket boxes, vampires, video games, vintage baseball cards/ads (red sox and yankees preferably), vintage jewellery, vintage photos and kitsch, washi tape, whimsy, wolves, woodlands, world of darkness (vampire: requiem), yaoi, zakka

a summary of this stupidly long list is that basically i love anything vintage or retro (especially from 50s or 60s), i love japanese kawaii and fashion and i love woodland scenery and creatures like deers, bears and foxes, and anything to do with camping or being in the wilderness. also i'm a fan of tabletop roleplaying and board games and larp (especially the wod: vampire).

favourite crafts

I love to make stuff! Scrapbooking is my forté. So is drawing stuff. And building stuff like warhammer armies (I can always use super small brushes!) and I like woodworking. And I make tiny books sometimes, for like, my dolls. And photography as well, I guess. I like to take black and white photographs, and photographs of my bjds.

favourite music

Folk/Country/Indie music like Sufjan Stevens, Bill Callahan, Bright Eyes, Jonathan Boulet, Django Django, Iron & Wine etc... Also like pop/dance music.

favourite tv shows

At the moment I'm really into Supernatural (agh I love it. I just bought all the dvds and i'm up to season 8!), Teen Wolf (stiles is awesome), Parks and Recreation, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Twin Peaks and the Twilight Zone.

I'm not into drama/dialogue heavy shows though like Boardwalk Empire (although I love that time period for clothing) or Game of Thrones. I just don't have the mental capacity to listen to someone speaking for too long haha.

fairy tale

This section is for my fantasy penpals to write to!

Thomothy Wode is a seventeen year old wizard apprentice to someone who is simply referred to as 'The Great Wizard'. Presently he lives in the grand city of Momus. Thomothy is not skilled at magic at all (although he thinks himself to be extremely adept) but he can talk himself out of, any into, any situation. He constantly complains that everyone around him is an incompetent fool and is finds it difficult to get along with others. Apart from people, he also has an intense dislike of physical exercise. Currently, he hasn't seen much of the world, but he has read much of it in books and old tomes.

please don't send me

thanks, but i'd really prefer not to receive

atcs, batz-maru, cheap stuff, craft stock(unless woodland themed), diddl, disney, hello kitty, junk, keropi, lavender scented things, liquorice, magazine cutouts (unless vintage/retro), morning glory (blue bear, etc - random cuteness is ok though) my little pony, orange story, pucca, stickers for kids.

fabrics, yarns, knitting, and embroidery supplies (I don't really use fabric and I don't do any sewing so it would be pointless to send them to me - craft/fabric embellishments are OK though)

also i don't want any cheap, dollar store make up because i can't regift it and it's going to be wasted on me so don't bother - thanks.

flakers

╭(๑¯д¯๑)╮ヽ(●-`Д´-)ノ If anyone feels like angeling any of these, I would be eternally grateful

Comment: Fantastic! I've got it today:)! Thank you very much for such delicious tea! I'm enjoying it now. And think it maybe one of my favourite tea:) Something like Geinmancha with roasted rice? Maybe if you wish we could swap sometime again? Yes, it took too long to get here, but it may be so because you didn't write my zip code:) thank you very much for extra green teas, I'd like to try them very much too!
Response: Yay! I'm so glad!! Haha I'm such a dork - I can't believe I forgot the postcode. No wonder it took so long. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tea! Yes - that's right! I was wondering if you would like the roasted rice or not so I'm happy you do! I think it makes the tea taste extra delicious :) there are many different kinds of great green teas here in Japan so if you want to swap in the future we should do so! I could always use more tea - especially since black tea is not so popular here! Thanks again :)

Comment: Wow, Sophie (having the same name must mean something! :D), I'm stunned! You made me so curious with the way of wrapping the swap. When I took it out of the mailbox I thought: "What could this be? I'm not expecting a book from anyone!" - and then it was just a marvellous hideaway for lots of lovely goodies. I will definitely love you forever for sending me a replica of the One Ring. It made my day. Absolutely. And I appreciate the effort you made with the book, I'll treasure it as a safe for important little items. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Comment: I thought that I had a quitte-easy profile, I was surprised of hearing that it was hard for you to find items for my parcel, specially because you did it wonderfully!!!. I love everything, thank you soooo much, but it was specially funny to read abour the hot there in australia while I was trying on my new super cozzy socks!. I have receive a bit of Australian sun to cheer up this dull winter morning in Spain!
Response: Oh awesome! I'm so glad! I think I was just mostly worried I would get things you didn't like so I'm relieved to hear you enjoyed them all. Especially the socks! The weather here is still extremely hot so I am glad you get to enjoy them! :)

Comment: Thanks so much for all the stuff in the swap envelope. The yarn is a great color of pink! I'm not sure just what I'll do with it yet, but it may go into mittens. The card and tag are really pretty! The other items were great too!
