Saor

I live in a very small town in the West of Ireland with my husband and four cats and a lot of books and craft supplies. I grew up beside the sea and I miss it.

Gone With The Wind, Donnie Darko, It's a Wonderful Life, Meet Me in St Louis, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sullivan's Travels, Rear Window(and most Alfred Hitchcock), any cheesy old musical, Wizard of Oz, Eat, Drink, Man, Woman, Scent of Green Papaya, Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers,Crossing Delancey, Grease ... and many, many more. Yes I like my films!

CSI, Medium, Bones, Ugly Betty, Mastermind, ANTM(Guilty Pleasure) any good documentary, Arrested Development. I tend to watch a fair bit of telly in the winter while I knit. I get obsessed with a show for a while, then I get bored.

Jewellery making(wire and beads), embroidery, sewing, knitting, paper crafts....I'll try anything. I don't do scrap booking though.

Little Women, The Time Travellers Wife, Persuasion, The Time of The Ghost, The Pursuit of Love, Any Terry Prachet, The Republic of Love, any thing about geishas, detective novels, many more:)

Likes I like making and collecting jewellery, reading, swapping(obviously), cooking, museums and galleries, cathedrals, bridges, anything vintage, colourful and quirky, politics, history(especially women's),old films, cats, Sims, trivia, butterflies.

I like blues and greens,especially greeny blues like teal,aqua and turquoise. I also like purple and bright pink. I like black and white, pink & purple, pink & green, purple and green and blue and green, red and blue. I like jewel tones in general. I have a lot of blue, turquoise, teal stuff now so other colours are welcome.

I like Asian designs( Geishas and cute kawaii stuff), vintage designs and anything quirky. I like beautiful wool. I like anything related to the sea like mermaids and seals. I collect fridge magnets and postcards. I love lip balm and glosses. It seems I can never have too many bookmarks or earrings. I love nice stationery - it's hard to get here.

I like silver, semi precious stones, crystal and any unusual or beautiful beads. I love earrings and my ears are pierced.

I like coffee(recovering caffeine addict), green or fruit tea(especially pomegranate).

All chocolate is good - especially with nuts - all types white, dark or milk. I really like Herseys' peanut butter kisses and any sour Altoids - can't get them here:(I like any sour sweets in general and mints.

Dislikes:

I am allergic/sensitive to nickel Please nothing with saccharine or aspartame as I have a sensitivity to them. I am also sensitive to MSG and I try to go easy on E numbers. Thank you:)

I don't like pastels or beige, baby pink or pale blue. I don't like black tea. I am not over keen on Disney stuff or religious themed goods(unless it's ironic).

I will appreciate anything sent with thought and consideration:)

I am building up a collection of U.S state postcards - the type with the name of the state on the front of it. If you get me in a postcard swap and are from the U.S. I'd love a postcard from your state. Map cards are especially welcome:)

Looking for cards from: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaiʻi,Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wyoming.

A card from one of these states with the name of the state on the front of the card will get a heart:)
