About Me

I'm a Scottish lass, mum of two girls 16 & 19. We have a golden retriever called Cooper.

I love the seasons and what the calendar year brings, in January - Burns Night, though in Feb, I'm not big on Valentines.

March/April - the arrival of spring, flowers, blossom and Easter. April is also my birthday month.

Summer - means more time at the beach, picnics, bbq, days out :)

Sept, Oct and November - Autumn, love this season and then Halloween, being a Scot, the true meaning of Halloween.

I love Christmas and all the that it brings, Advent, mince pies, Christmas pudding, cake, cards (vintage, winter wonderland, a card that reflects where you are from, owls, reindeer, traditional) Panto, mulled wine, Family and Friends.

Favorite Books

Here be Dragons and everything else by Sharon Penman.

Crime and thriller novels

Harry Potter

Anything by Jane Austin

L M Montgomery - Anne of Green Gables

Harry Bosch

Lord of the Rings

Narnia books

Northern Lights Trilogy

Peter Pan

Grimes Brothers

Postcards

If you are looking at my profile to see what I like,well thank you. I tend to veer towards illustration.

Anderson design group postcards (would love from their Literary Collection Little Red Riding Hood, Dracula, Frankenstien, Sherlock Holmes and Sleepy Hollow.

Lantern Press

Book Illustrations

Birds - esp. Owls/puffins/Robins/Blue Tits/Wrens my favourites have to be songbirds anything with Robins, Blue tits and Wrens

Grimm's fairy tales

Seasons

Woodland creatures

wish list

washi tape - samples or rolls love love love (on the look out pink, lime green, orange, purple and blues.

ephemera

book pages old and new (some cantonese or mandarin written paper would be lovely, but I love all languages.

music sheet paper

doilies any colour

used postage stamps

envelopes

die cuts

really anything by Tim Holtz

stickers that I would like to receive - seasons, botanical, birds, people. I'm a fan of Me and My Big Ideas and open to a variety of their stickers. I also like Stickii stickers and I lean towards the vintage style.

seqin and enamel dots

La Dolce Vita Stickers

Classiky labels or something in that vain.

glassine bags/paper

the original jelly belly beans

colours

My favourite colours:

Turquoise, mint green, teal, pastel pink/green/blue/gray, neutral colours, rose, autumn colours,

Christmas colours: Red, teal, copper & gold

I think because I'm such a seasonal person I find my colours change as the season's change.

No thank you...

TEA, TEA and TEA as I really don't drink it, coffee is my thing.

though I love to cook, I have no interest in recipe cards.

please no plastic washi.

I do love a piece of chocolate and would rather a small quality piece over quantity. In regards to sweets (candy) if it's a little extra to pop into the mail that's fine but I will always hope for a piece of chocolate over sweets.

No thank you to gum.

cute stickers of any kind, I really do prefer nature stickers but plants should not have faces on them :D

I have no interest in foot products at all.

Comment: Thank you for your Halloween envelope. I love the spider stamp and all the stickers you send. Halloween paper goodies are so rare to get here as we do not celebrate Halloween in Czech Republic. But I love it and I like to at least decorate my home and carve the pumpkin. ;)

Comment: Hi Julie! Thank you for the pretty butterfly notecard. I love Biscoff cookies. How did the dessert turn out? I haven’t watched Band of Brothers. I’ll check it out to see if it would be a good show to watch with my husband. I always save a picture of the current mail rates on my phone.
