About Me

About me: I love walks under the moonlight on the ocean, connecting with friends, and dark chocolate. I am a hippy at heart.

I love nature, thinking, pondering, wondering, being filled with awe.

I love the smell of fresh brewed coffee, warm toast, GINGERBREAD, lavender, lilacs, lily of the valley, ocean breezes, and spring rain.

I enjoy going on serendipitous rides, and poking through used bookstores, old general stores, thrift stores and dollar stores.

Anywhere a bargain can be found, I like to find it!

I am 50-ish, blissfully partnered for 16 wonderful years with my true soulmate (who happens to also be an artist), and together we share a home with 2 cats and 2 delightful Pomeranians to keep me company during the day while my spinal degenerative arthritis keeps me home.

I love to decorate my home, and my taste is very colorful, whimsical, and artistic. I'm beginning to like "shabby chic" and cottage styles. My kitchen has eggplant-colored walls, and decorative items related to coffee.

I don't do Christmas, but I loves me some happy, colorful snow peeps and gingerbread peeps, too. I also like to decorate the house with seasonal garlands...... spring-ish things for spring, kites and beach and ocean-y things for summer, harvest-y and leaf-y things for autumn, and snow peeps, gingerbread peeps, tiny sweaters and mittens and hats for winter. Just nothing that looks/says Christmas, but anything that's generically WINTER is fine.

FABRIC!!!!!

I adore: RETRO HOUSEWIFE!
LITTLE BIRDIES, OWLS, SCOTTY DOGS, CATS, HEDGEHOGS, PENGUINS, FAIRIES, WOODLAND FORESTS, cupcakes, mushrooms, GNOMES, chickens
Dots & spots!!
Aunt Grace/30's pastel repro's
Gingham!
Mary Engelbreit
Almost anything food/fruit, coffee, tea, citrus
Winter themes like snowflakes, snow folks, gingerbread people and such are GREAT!

Color schemes I love:

red, aqua, pink and white
Anything purple and/or pink
Brights: Purple, kiwi (lime), fuschia, bright blue, orange, yellow
Pastels: pink, aqua, lavender, yellow, blue, very soft green Black & white; red & white; blue & white; but NO red, white & blue together, please!
Marbles (brights & pastels); tonals, Lavender/purple & yellow

Fabrics I don't care much for: mosty anything "dark" or "primitive" or "country" or americana or 4th of July/flag-themed. I also don't do Christmas and Halloween themes.

I can always use...

  1. any magazine in good condition (faves would be craftsy, homemaking, recipes, women's mag such as Woman's World or First, but not fashion mags)
  2. used cozy mystery or cook books
  3. dark chocolate
  4. embroidery supplies (pattern, tea towel, floss, needles, etc) PREFER DMC or ANCHOR FLOSS ONLY
  5. sewing supplies (fabric, thread, pattern, magazine, book, etc.)
  6. knitting supplies (needles, yarn, magazine, etc.)
  7. craft or art supplies of any kind
  8. dollhouse/fairy door (why? see http://www.urban-fairies.com)
  9. old apron (not modern butcher-style) or pattern or anything related to old aprons
  10. anything else of your choice (my profile probably gives good ideas)

Please do NOT send:

Beauty goods such as make up or lotions. Items with a heavy scent or perfume. Incense. Dolls. Novelty yarns. Christian items. Country style type stuff. Anything that smells of cigarette smoke.

I reuse packaging...

Comment: This is such a generous package I'm totally blow away, just lovely, lovely stuff. And if you hadn't written "Imiaginary trip" I'd be sure you spent at least a summer in Paris to have everything down to perfectly. I spent a great half hour enjoying everything except how hard it was to get through the tape and wrappings to the goodies.

Hey,

thanks for your interest in my German-zine-swap! I invite you to join - your German isn't perfect, you probably make mistakes, so what? A zine isn't about perfectness unless you theme it so. ;-)

I commented on your comment on the swap-page, if you want to check it out, please do, and feel welcome to join. This is my "take a German lesson and have fun doing it"-opportunity for you. ;-)

Hope to see you there

Meike
