My name is Catherine, and I'm a 26-year-old single girl. I was born in Taiwan, spent my high school and college years in northern California and moved back after college. I've always loved anything cutesy and visually attractive. Ever since I was a kid, I've been collecting cartoon stickers, key chains, handkerchieves, label pins, pencils, erasers, notebooks, memo pads, letter sets, etc. And I'm still a child at heart.

I studied graphic design in college. I absolutely appreciate beautiful prints and patterns. I love the English country style patterns like Cath Kidston.

I enjoy watching movies, reading, making soap, beading and playing with my PSP in my free time.

The Uncommon Reader

The Chronicles of Narinia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narinia: Prince Caspian, Stardust, Dead Poets Society, Pixar films, Before Sunrise, Elizabethtown.

I enjoy romance comedy movies like You've Got Mail, Raising Helen, Guess Who, Hitch, 27 Dresses, Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Rebound and chick flicks like Mean Girls, A Cinderella Story, Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!, She's the Man, The Devil Wears Prada, Penelope, 17 Again, etc. But I also love drama movies with touching storylines and colorful fantasy movies that inspire me to dream again. =)

I adore Ben Barnes, James McAvoy, Robert Pattinson, Orlando Bloom and Zac Efron, but I don't really collect anything of them.

Handmade soap.

All shades of green, pink and blue. I also love pastel colors.

I like a lot of cute cartoon characters, and these are just some that came to my mind:

• Anpanman
• San-X
• Chip 'n Dale
• Sanrio (Deery-Lou, Chi Chai Monchan, Dokidoki Yummychums, Minna No Tabo, Pandapple, Sugarbunnies, Sugarminuet, Tenorikuma, USAHANA, Cinnamoroll)
• Moomin Valley (Japanese)
• RUB A DUB DUB (Japanese zakka brand)
• Snoopy
• Elmo
• Doraemon
• The Simpsons (They're not "cute", but it's hard to get any in Taiwan.)

I'm not too picky about the characters. They can even be brandless, but have got to be authentic with nice designs and colors.

Kawaii stationeries, notebooks, stickers, paper goods with cute/colorful children's illustrations, cute cosmetic pouches, illustrated fairytale- and forest-themed items, mugs, coin purses, handmade soaps, small cartoon figurines, Re-ment and MegaHouse miniature toys.

Again, I like the stuff listed above, but I'm pretty open to anything cute and/or useful.

• stationeries with plain or no designs
• push point pencils
• stuffed animals (I have limited storage space.)
• stickers/letter sets with real people
• cellphone charms (I'd like to keep my cellphone "light".)
• deco tapes, ribbons or other scrapbooking supplies (I don't scrapbook.)
• food

I never send out crappy/ugly stuff. I actually do spend money to buy nice things that I would like to receive. You can count me on that. I hope my partners could do the same, too!
