Sarah - she/they - 29 years old - Austria 🇦🇹/Europe 🇪🇺 - working in education 🧑🏫 - living with my husband and one-eyed cat 🐈- autistic, so forgive me if I sometimes come across as a bit blunt, I don't mean it :)
✅ Animals - especially cats, but also butterflies, corvids, dragonflies, bats... Foxes are cute but not my favourite animal, despite my username! 🐈🦋
✅ Cards and postcards that have been written on. I like to get glimpses into people's lives, traditions, countries...

✅ I love travelling, so anything travel-related, e.g. tell me what to visit in your area!

✅ Patterns, floral and geometric
✅ Photography (your own or store bought photography cards)

✅ "Textured" cards that have some 3D or otherwise textured elements!
✅ Space themed stuff 🪐
✅ witchy and "creepy" things (think illustrations of skeletons with flowers, black cats, potions - no gory things) 🧙♀️
✅ cards with feminist/Pride/"stop climate change" slogans and messages on them 🏳️🌈
Do not send me extras please. I need to get rid of what I have.
❌ artwork or envelopes with lots of transparent type - it's difficult to recycle

❌ illustrations/photos of babies or children or drawings made by children 👶🏻
❌ not a big fan of apes, monkeys and horses 🐒
❌ balloons, I have a weird phobia of them 🎈

Please be aware that my mail can be SLOW! Up to 2 weeks in Europe, 2 months (!!) to the US and other parts of the world
Update March 2024: Something very strange has been going on with mail to the US specifically. Mail that I sent in October and November 2023 all seems to arrive at once now in March 2024, like it's been sitting somewhere in a distribution centre all this time. Only to the US though! If you have not received something from this period from me, I hope it will arrive now, but feel free to ask me for a resend!
If you haven't received anything from me 1 month after the sent date (Europe) or 2.5 months after the sent date (outside of Europe), please contact me and I'm happy to resend ⏳
I live rurally. The "post office" is just a supermarket, so I can't guarantee it will be stamped and processed the day I drop it off. ⌛️

LOL, you're a genius. I was wondering how the heck to make ink swabs. A brush makes total sense.... and I don't have a spare one for this purpose. Oy vey. Only makeup brushes in my house... but I'm not risking those, lol. I already get ink stains on my fingertips. I'm going to look super weird with ink stains on my face. Hahahaha... Anyway, cheerios!
Have a wonderful holiday!
