Hi!~ My name is Gwen.

I love receiving decorated packaged mail and I get really excited checking for packages/goodies in the mailbox. I try to make my swap partner's packages as nice as possible (I reused mail packages by the way).

I send what I would like to receive and hope you will do the same too. It makes smile when someone tells me how much they love what I send. I like making people happy, because it makes me happy !

Main Interests: woodland animals, old cottage houses and gardens, nature, European architectures, temple shrines, folkore, fairytales, myths, nautical, mermaids, old/antique world maps, boutique hotels, vintage fashion, victorian gothic, anything related to witches, air-mail, storybook illustrations, literature, photography, psychology (mental disorders), feminism,

I collect pressed flowers and plants, perfume bottles, cosmetic samples, used postage stamps, and instant polaroid photos.

Don't be alarm if my profile looks different, my taste & interests changes every so often...
