LIKES :D

fabric // children books written in Portuguese, English, French or Spanish // small buttons with different shapes or simply rounded ones // pompoms // sewing threads (number 12 or the regular ones for hand sewing or my sewing machine) // pre-cutted felt figures ready to use (like flowers, hearts, stars, ...) // tea, biscuits and dark chocolate // decorated paper cups and cookie cutters // flower, fruit and vegetable seeds // ribbons // polka dots and thin stripes // colours: all except red, and specially blue and lime green // moleskines // illustration // pens // envelopes of all colours and sizes // black and white photography // silver rings (I don't like the gold colour) // cinnamon (specially on cookies) // vegetable soaps // things I can work with //

DISLIKES :S

cigars // marzipan // honey // alcoholic drinks // coffee // perfumes // soaps with 'decoupage' // incense // jams // chocolate with orange or liquors // necklaces // bracelets // white socks // 'potpourrie' // Gothic or Religious stuff // big earrings // skulls // animal prints (zebra, leopard,...) // polimer clay supplies // glass beads // thimbles from different parts of the world // anything in neon colors // bad swappers //

PS: If you want to send me candies, please send ONLY CHOCOLATE.

Please DON'T SEND: organizer or daily planner // address book (I don't need one at the moment) // candies or sweets (I prefer dark chocolate) // lip balms (I have enough for now) // bath salts or bath confetti (I don't use them) // make up (I only wear Mascara and Eye definer - pencil ) // rubber stamps (they're cute but I don't use them) // paper tags (I like to make them) // anything with Pucca or Hello Kitty (they're ok but I'm not a big fan) // glitter (I have enough)

And the most important: quality is better than quantity.
