About Me

I'm 40 years old and live in a village in Warwickshire in the heart of England. I've been married to my husband for 12 years and we have an 11 year old son.

I own my own greeting cards shop (my dream job!!)

We love sending and receiving postcards via Postcrossing.

My likes are just a guide, I'm happy to receive anything you think I would like.

Favorite Crafts

I love to crochet (especially blankets and baby clothes) Yarn and patterns are always welcomed.

During lockdown bought a sewing machine and taught myself how to sew. I have made myself and my son quite a few items of clothing. I love vintage fashion so I'm always on the hunt for old sewing patterns.

Favorite Television

I love watching British dramas, soaps (especially EastEnders), sitcoms and reality TV.

Favorite Books

I used to love to read but I struggle to find the time at the moment. I'd love to hear about books that you've enjoyed though so I can look them up.

Likes

Fruit, vegetable or flower seeds. We have a veggie patch in our garden and enjoy growing our own food. We also love garden gnomes.

Wool, yarn, ribbon, twine, buttons and bows. Crochet and knitting patterns especially for blankets or baby items.

Cotton fabric in pretty, cute or quirky designs Sewing patterns both modern and vintage

Stationary including postcards, notecards, paper and envelopes, pens, pencils, stickers, washi tapes, sticky notes etc

Tea, coffee and hot chocolate

Sweets, candy, chocolate and savoury snacks.

Recipes, particularly family or regional ones, cook books

Scarfs, hat, tights and socks (size 4UK)

My favourite colour is green and autumn shades like oranges and browns.

My favourite scents and flavours are Vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves etc (just think of Christmas). I also like clean smelling scents like baby powder and clean cotton.

We love to learn about different cultures and traditions, please feel free to share yours with me.

I love history and architecture.

I love Christmas related items particularly gingerbread men.

My favourite season is Autumn (I like Winter too)

My favourite holidays are Halloween, Bonfire night and Christmas.

Quirky and cute earrings.

I love hedgehogs, squirrels and other woodland creatures.

Trees, leaves, acorns and pinecones. I just love wood and wooden items.

My son has a rare chromosome disorder so anything that raises awareness of rare chromosome disorders or autism.

Dislikes

We are Humanists, whilst we enjoy learning about different cultures and religions, I don't wish to receive anything that is Evangelical or contains religious verse or scripture.

My Son's likes

My son is 11 years old but has developmental delays. His special interest at the moment is Fast food restaurants. He loves learning about different menus from around the world and how they compare to ours in the UK. He loves to collect food wrappers, advertising flyers, receipts, paper bags etc from Fast Food restaurants and now has quite a collection.

He also loves learning new fun facts, planets and space, books (has a reading age of around 7).

His favourite colours are pink and purple and he wears clothes in age 9-10 (128cm) size.

Please note

I always send my swaps. If you expecting a swap from me and it hasn't arrived please contact me before leaving feedback as the chances are it's been lost in the postal system. If you let me know then it can be resolved.

Comment: The best response to this series of swaps I've received -- your printing is lovely! The letter rings very true and I loved the extra information, the ribbons and info. I read SILAS MARNER well over half my life ago -- I think I'll reread it before I pass it on. Many thanks.
