About Me

♡ Hello! ♡

I'm a uni student studying French and English. I love art and crafting, painting, pastel colors, Polaroid cameras and pictures, nail polish, cute stuff, stickers, sending and receiving postcards, comics, films, TV-shows, music, hiking, nature, animals (fawns/deer and dogs), myths, dinosaurs, skulls, glitter, musicals, neon lights, history, the color burgundy, different cultures, first generation My Little Ponies, old school Disney, kitsch/vintage figurines (especially deer, again), old botanical books/pictures and hot chocolate.

I'm a visual person so I always focus on making everything look beautiful, therefore I also appreciate that in everyone else's work!

I'm also fascinated by the combination of "ugly" and pretty/cute.

Favorite Music

♡ Arctic Monkeys

♡ Pariisin Kevät

♡ C2C

♡ Fauve

♡ Franz Ferdinand

♡ Lady Gaga

♡ Grand Corps Malade

♡ Pyhimys

♡ Mark Kozelek

♡ Juju

Favorite Books

Lately I've been into Haruki Murakami's books, Kafka on the Shore for example! One of my all time favorite books is Secret History by Donna Tartt.

Unfortunately because of my studies I'm not able to read as much as I'd want to :( School seems to drain all my energy. I guess that's why I'm so into watching films and TV-shows!

Favorite Movies

I love everything with Meryl Streep or Ryan Gosling in it! Also, Great Gatsby was amazing and Les Intouchables had a huge impact on me (and I keep watching it over and over again).

I love different lighting, colors, points of view and people in films. Also, especially indie films or little smaller film projects are nice to watch.

Favorite Television

❤ American Horror Story

❤ Breaking Bad

❤ Adventure Time

❤ Sherlock Holmes

❤ The Walking Dead

❤ Parks & Recreation

❤ 30 Rock

❤ Misfits

I love TV-shows that are unique, well-made and not too simple. That applies to everything in my life actually, also swaps/postcards!

Favorite Crafts

Not that long ago I bought myself some watercolors and have gotten very into painting with them. I like doing mixed media artwork, making collages, painting over and throwing a bit of glitter in the mix.

I used to make ATCs a lot, I might start doing that again maybe, who knows!

I also tried crocheting amigurumis, they are always so lovely. I'd love to have my own cute amigurumi army!

Things that inspire me

Some people that always make me happy are Stephen Fry, Meryl Streep, Ellen Degeneres, Carl Sagan and old Moira O'Hara from AHS season1!

I get inspired by astronomy, rap music, chocolate, dachshunds, sea creatures, fossils and animal skeletons and really everything to do with nature.

I collect

★ Jars/tins

★ Little treasures/trinkets

★ Buttons, ribbons

★ Stamps

★ Pressed flowers

★ Stones/rocks/crystals

★ Kitsch figurines: deer, dogs, cats, bunnies

★ Old school Disney stuff

★ My Little Ponies (G1)

★ Foreign Coins and bills

★ Posters/postcards/stationery with illustrations by Alphonse Mucha

★ Korean/Asian stationery

★ Jetoy Choo Choo Cat postcards

★ Stickers (with themes related to the things I like)

★ "Kiiltokuvat", "Glansbilder" = Old/vintage paper scrap pictures (like these: http://www.pinterest.com/lesliegkelly/victorian-scraps/ not my pinterest, just an example)

To help you with a swap..

Do take a look at my Etsy favorites, I think they give you a good example of the kind of things I like! But I'm not that picky either, it's the thought that counts, right? ;)

Some things to keep in mind though:

I'd prefer not to receive any religious stuff.

Despite my love for cute things, I don't like Hello Kitty that much, nor any other Sanrio things

Comment: Veera, I so enjoyed your letter! It felt like a letter from my daughter. :) I think it is AWESOME that you go to visit the elderly man every week. And, yes, having your own residence is definitely a place to remember. Your little owl stickers were adorable and I love the cut-outs you sent. Beautiful and rather vintage. Thank you for joining the swap and doing such a good job with it!

Comment: Thank you so much for the cute card. It will be the most special one I get this year. Especially since it's greeting is not in English. Love the gnome !! Are they called gnomes ?? I always go on line and check out any of the countries I'm not too familiar with. Finland appears to be very beautiful. Lots of trees and farm country. I'd like it. Thanks again.
