About Me

Fridaynight, saturday and sunday: days to be creative and get my postcards and envelopes to the mailbox, so my collegues can empty them on sunday evening. Since 1 January 2014 they don't do that anymore, monday is the first occasion. So, my date of sending shown at the swap doesn't have to be the real one....... I mark it as sent when the swap is finished, otherwise I'll forget it ;-)

I live near Rotterdam with my husband. Our daughter waved us goodbye and moved out to her own place in Zwolle, 2 hours driving by car (in the Netherlands it is almost "the other side of the country" .......) Our son found a small room in Rotterdam, near to the city center. Just 25 minutes driving by bike....

In June 2015 we adopted a red/white cat of 13 years old from a shelter. We let him go 5 years later. Our very black cat Harry (found on the internet) passed away 3rd October 2017. He was only 10 years old.

I deliver mail 4 days a week, of course by bike!

Tea

Together with my daughter I like to drink tea: she likes green tea, I like rooibos. Herbal and black tea are not our favourites, others are more than welcome, surprise us! After drinking I collect the bags for a very dear friend (she has a collection of > 30.000 bags), the labels I send to a Postcrossing/Facebook friend in Belarus. Tea can make a lot of people happy!

What I like

  • everything about Scandinavia, Iceland, London, Berlin (but not too touristic)
  • black & white postcards (and also with a little bit of colour)
  • clear stamps
  • rub-ons
  • tea for me (Tazo wild sweet orange, Bercoff Klember Premium Tea and Higher Living very berry are delicious)
  • tea for my daughter (Nordqvist Nippon Green, Basilur White Magic, Stash green tea with fruit, Pukka Sweet Vanilla Green, any brand of green tea with grapefruit))
  • tea for both of us (Ukrainian Lovare)
  • everything about mail (because of my job)
  • warm colours
  • handmade (surprise me)
  • washi tape
  • chocolate (Finnish/Icelandic with liquorice...mmmm....)
  • showergel/-scrub
  • liquorice
  • I cherish my garden more and more
  • recycling package material
  • seal wax and stamps. Create a single one and send it to me!
  • Gotochi postcards especially mailboxes, I love them!
  • B. Kliban cats

What I dislike

  • religious items, angels
  • grey and beige (it makes me sad)
  • postcards with horses, or with animals with funny hats, glasses, ....
  • very romantic things likes roses and pink
  • herbal and black tea (also with fruit like strawberry and forest fruit), with rice, camomile. I tried chai, but I really don't like it
  • I have a big box filled with sticky notes and stickers: I love them but I don't want more of them

Comment: Thank you, this is so uplifting, I simply love the floral focal image and how the background goes well with this <3
Response: Oops, I missed your rating. Sorry for that. I organized my craftroom this afternoon. I threw away a lot of never used things and created new space for my new point of view of crafting like collages and masterboards. It was raining all day over here, but I think spring is on its way ;-)

Comment: Heel hartelijk dank voor de mooie groene kaart. Groen is mijn lievelingskleur & planten kan ik niet genoeg van hebben. Fijne lente 💚 liefs, Jill
Response: Dank je wel voor het hartje. Ik vond het leuk om te doen. Maar ook spannend met het verzenden. Wilde het niet in een transparant hoesje doen. Maar op het moment van het dacht ik: oeps we krijgen dagen met veel regen............

Comment: Hi José, thanks a lot for the postcard. I r loved the stitching and the tulip. Still amazed that you can really send a handmade card through post without it being damaged. I was too afraid and sent mine in envelopes.
Response: It's always a big guess. These few days it is raining. By inland sendings it depends on the kind of art: a collage with a lot of glue or one with watercolours. Thanks for rating!

Comment: Thank you for the swap and those lovely black and white pictures. I’m sorry i’m just rating this, I saw it on the app and when it got here later it had some kind of Herstel/retour sticker on it? Your envie is very artsy! I will look up the house! Take care, ❤️
Response: Thanks for rating Robyn. For the postal sorting machines these kind of envelopes are difficult to handle. A lot of coulours etc. And then it can take some extra time to arrive. But sometimes I take the risk.
