I live in northern California. I live with my Norwegian Forrest cat, Claire. I have a daughter and a 2 yr old granddaughter, , and great son-in-law who live in town with us. That gives me a lot of grandma time.Arabella

I once lived in Naples, Italy, from age 15 -18 and loved it there. My senior trip was to the Isle of Capri......Beautiful, unforgettable!! I love all things Italian or European. I love all of the holidays. I love Vintage, Steampunk and mystical/magic stuff. I love original art especially on postcards, ACEOs, bookmarks, letter sets, journals and greeting cards. I love sewing. I am a coffee nut! No tea please.. Love homemade items. I love swapping and always try to send a package or envie according to the swap requirements and your profile. I truly love to get feedback that shows I have made someone's day. I always send out on time and rate immediately after receiving. I am only human and if you haven't received my package or if I have inadvertently not rated you, please pm me and I will set things right for you.

I am easy to please and I am happy with any items I receive in the mail. It is such a pleasure to reach into the mailbox and find something there.
