About Me

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...

You'll definitely receive a heart from me if you made my swap package extra special (spoiled me, sent something from my wishlist, lovely profile-based items). I think I'm pretty generous when it comes to giving out hearts.

Comment: Thanks Gwen! Love everything!! Sadly, the dress and shirt were too small for me. I guess I'm a size L in that store, lol. But it's only my fault for being big. Everything else was lovely! Thanks again for doing this with me! ♥
Response: Oh no! The clothes didn’t fit? D: The store lady said they should fit a medium just fine. What a bummer...I’m really sorry about that! But I’m glad to hear you like everything else.
