Postcards (preferably store bought) I would like to receive my postcards in envelopes please, no matter if the swap says send them naked, please do put it in an envie. I like to collect stamps too, and I hate cutting up the postcard for the stamps, since I like to collect both, so remember postcard + envie + real postage stamps = happy me )*

I began collecting stamps when I was 9 yrs old, then it faded, to begin anew at 13.. to fade again. It wasn't until 4 years ago when my mother passed away that I began taking up the hobby again, after she had left a big box of stamps and albums and books behind her for intended for my kids. Unfortunately, my kids, as many kids nowadays, didnt have the interest for these fascinating pieces of pretty paper, but I do. As of today, I have an entire bookcase of stamp albums from all over the world.. where I have collected by buying kiloware stampbags from around the world, traded on the eBay and by having penpals. and now here, where I can swap stamps back and forth with anyone else who is interested :)

Country stamps that I am currently interested in (but not necessary if you don't have them in your stock):

• South America (Argentina/Brazil//Chile/Cuba/Venezuela)
• Asian Territories (China/Japan)
• North America (Canada/US)
• Europe (France/Portugal/Spain)
• Scandinavia (Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Finland/Iceland - modern please from 2000 and up, no more vintage please)
• UK (more modern commerative stamps)
• Croatia (Hrvatska) and Estonia (Eesti) - modern day stamps please
• Latvia (Latvija) and Lithuania (Lietuva/Litwa/Litva) - vintage stamps if possible please

Also, for those that are recieving postcards from me, be in the know that normally I like to add more than one stamp on the PC. Maybe to be different from the rest? Possibly, but also because I don't stick to modern day stamps. I like to buy my postage stamps unused from a stamp dealer or postoffice.. and use those up on postcards, with different values, filling up the international worth of -a- stamp. These can be from the 70's, 80's, 90's.. always something more interesting than the modern day sticker stamp.

About tea and coffees.. I like to drink coffee from time to time but not so much anymore, however I prefer my black tea to be flavoured. My favourite flavours for now are: coconut, vanilla, winter, mint, hazelnut! Oh! OHHH!! Someone sent me a Dilmah Caramel flavoured black tea bag.. I so LOVED it.. and noted much to my dismay that I can't buy it here in sweden! So if anyone would be nice and sweet, send me Dilmah Caramel teabags. and I'll give you HEARTS!!

Adding this.. just for the sake of those that do send me stuffs or me sending stuffs to them.. in case the postal services do severe hiccups and they get lost in the mail..
please DO message me.. so I can do a re-send, as I myself hate to give bad ratings to anyone around.. when it's not our fault that the mail goes missing.. :)

Despite living in Sweden .. I am not a Swede. Even though many would like to think me as one of their everyday citizens.. I am not. At least not on paper. I am still a British citizen living abroad. And that is how it will be until the day I die. :P

=== UPDATE: At the current moment until further notice I will not be doing any private swaps with anyone. Thank you!
