Hi,

I'm Maike!

Most of all I love deco tapes and although I already have a huge pile, I still want more ♥! Mainly of course designs I don't have yet. I love medium ones best but large ones are ok as well. I also love kawaii letter sets, memo pads and stamps, mainly hand carved ones but some kawaii ones are very cute too.

Please check my flickr for tapes I already have!

I'm fascinated by beautiful cotton fabrics and ribbons. I'd love to have huge piles of colourful fabrics and ribbons.

German postal services are very inflexible when it comes to the form of addresses...sad but true. I had several delays in getting mail because of that.

So please try to stick to the right form: unlike American addresses the ZIP code comes first.It's:

name: Maike XXX

street and house number: Blablastreet 1

ZIP code and town (no state): 12345 Blablatown

country: Germany

Thanks :-)...

deco tapes

I don't mind used deco tapes, they don't have to be sealed!

♥ all kind of Rilakkuma designs, the size doesn't matter

♥ medium and large Cram Cream tapes I don't have yet

especially "Molle" and "Ronde" editions, but all the other designs too

♥ medium and large Mind Wave tapes I don't have yet

I need to find the ALWAYS CLEAN tape: blue background with teeth and little caries-people

♥ medium and large Prime Nakamura/ Kamio/ Pool Cool/... tapes I don't have yet

♥ san-x tapes, esp. (Rilakkuma, see above) Nyan Nyan Nyanko and Monokuro Boo (please ask me for characters I don't like!)

♥ to make it short: all kind of tapes I don't have yet :-), but NO more small rolls and NO disney/care bears/rainbow brite/popples/tootsie/lamb chop and so on please!

letter sets and (regular) memo pads

Check my Etsy Favorites for the memo pad designs I love best. I'll love loose sheets from those, too♥♥♥

♥ nearly all kind of Mind Wave, Crux, Kamio, etc. letter sets/memo pads. I don't really like peolpe designs (tomo girls and similar things)

♥ Rilakkuma

♥ Monokuro Boo

♥ Kireizukin Seikatu

fabric

♥ OLD cotton fabrics from the 60s/70s, Japanese and American (kawaii) cotton fabrics

(fat quarters or what size ever)

♥ woven ribbons (though the most beautiful ones are from Germany :-) and a huge variety is easily available here- and I already have most of them, so it's rather a thing I can give in swaps)

♥ I LOVE 70s/former East German terrycloth towels and bedclothes, so feel free to contribute to my collection, ehm...

crafting supplies

♥ rubber stamp blocks such as staedtler mastercarve or speedball speedycut/speedycarve

♥ shrink plastic such as shrinkydink

unfortunately you don't get any of these in Germany :-(

baking supplies

♥ cute and extraordinary cookie cutters

♥ I love hamsters, especially dwarf hamsters- they are soooo cute♥

♥ I like playing cello

♥ I love Arabia Moomin mugs and these are the only mugs I have

♥ I love to collect and use former East German and 70s terrycloth towels and bedclothes, in fact those are mainly quite ugly, but that's what I like best :-P

♥ I'm quite peculiar on pens:

• I only use Lamy Safari fountain pens (I have all of them) and Lamy Logo ballpoint pens

• I only use Rotring Tikky special 0,5 pencils (I have them in many many colours♥)

• I love Faber Castell Polychromos♥

♥ I LOVE chocolate and all kind of (sweet) cakes and tarts, I'm totally addicted to this stuff ...drool...CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE.

• if you are from Australia or Great Britain: for some reasons I absolutely don't understand my sister loves Vegemite and Marmite. Sorry, but that stuff already stinks like hell- how can anyone EAT it?!?!?!? She prefers Vegemite, though she usually eats Marmite, as she's got friends in England who provide her...

♥ please no plushies or toys of any kind

♥ in fact I don’t really like any kind of decorative (useless :-P) items, knick knacks, kitsch, whatever...

♥ please no pens/ erasers. I think all those kawaii pens are very cute and I have two very cute ballpens, but I'm usually pretty picky on pens (see above)

♥ please no food except of everything with milk (or white) chocolate. I don't like dark chocolate, liquorice, jellie- and gummie-stuff, sour and hard candy, chewing gum, everything that's fruity flavored or peppermint (with some exceptions. I like kitkat mint and fazer mint).

♥ please no cosmetics

♥ just try to stick to my wishlist or don't hesitate to ask me

♥ I'm not really into sticker flakes- they are very cute and I'm fascinated by sticker sacks too, but the flakes itselfes are just too tiny to handle :-P...I'm the clumsy type...Though I have some sticker sacks, so that I can use the flakes for swaps. ♥ I'm not really into Hello Kitty either, though I have some HK tapes. I don't like Little Twin Stars or My Melody. But if you have something with Landry (old Sanrio raccoon) feel free to send me what item ever :-).

Hmm, I hardly ever listen to music, so I really can't tell. I just don't have the patience to l i s t e n and it drives me absolutely crazy having a noisy (music, talking, whatever...) background. I don't even own a CD/mp3/radio player or something similar. Music just doesn't mean much to me, though nobody seams to understand that ;-)... And I like playing the cello mainly for technical reasons, which often drives my teacher to despair, cause I don't care much about dynamics, expression and such stuff "You're not a robot, Maike!" ;-)

I don't watch television a lot for the same reason I don't listen to music, it's too noisy. But there are some shows I like nonetheless. I usually like watching the Simpsons while eating dinner...

I'm not picky on books, as long as they have a nice cover (very important ;-)!) I'm willing to take a look at it at least. Though I'm not into thrillers, love stories or historical books.

I like sewing, though my skills are still quite poor. I just bought a new sewing maschine, so I'm really into sewing right now. I also like to carve stams. I really tried knitting and crotchetting again and again- but without the slightest success- which is quite embarassing, as my mother had an own store for many years selling wool and everything knitting/crotchetting related. I once tried felting, I liked it a lot, but I don't have the possibility to do it at home. And I love baking ♥. I can't even cook noodles ;-) and I don't like hot/warm food in general, but I'm pretty good when it comes to baking- sweet stuff of course :-)!
