About Me

UPDATE: I am not currently doing any swaps due to a changed personal situation and address. It is also difficult for me to get to my post in the previous address, so please bear with me on the ratings, there may be some delay. I will rate everything and will always contact you first, if I did not receive something. Thanks for your understanding and patience!

Hi everyone, nice to meet you!

I'm Helena, and I LOVE snailmail. Mail art, stamps, post cards, handmade envelopes - anything to do with it.

I'm also an avid philatelist and stamp collector. Stamps make my day, any day. :D I am currently building two collections for stamps shows - the themes are folklore / fairy tales, and space / astronauts. But of course I will be happy with any kind of stamps that you might send.

I have accumulated quite a stash of stickers, stationery, post cards, jewelry making materials, and paper ephemera. It would be fun to swap some of it - especially as I cannot seem to quit buying more, haha.

Looking forward to joining many postcard & mail art swaps!

EDIT: I notice that I haven't received some ratings for swaps sent long ago already. It seems to go fast to Europe and Canada but not so fast to USA. If you are wondering - Yes, I've sent all my swaps! Will contact recipients after 1 month to see what the status is. And you can always message me, I won't bite! :)

Hobbies and Interests

Creative writing, punch needle work, philately, science fiction, cyberpunk, videogames, stickers, tea, chocolate, mail art, yoga, new age, healing & reiki (but you do not need to be into these, and we do not need to talk about it), jewelry making, history.

Themes and Topics

I will be happy with any sort of postcards you want to send. However if you run out of ideas, here are a few themes that I like.

Theme Interests: Transportation - Trains - Airplanes and fighter planes - Anything Sci-Fi - Mythical Creatures - Mythologies - Fairytales - Ancient Egypt - Ancient China - Anything Japanese - Animals - Hayao Miyazaki - Medieval times, Middle Ages - Castles - Disney (especially Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Pocahontas) - New Age Themes (such as Reiki, Healing etc.) - Astronomy - Winter - Water - Nautical - Religions of the World - Folklore

Favourite Colors

Black - Yellow - Anything Blue - Pink - Hot Pink

ABCs of Me

I saw another swapper having such a list on their profile, and thought it was a great idea :)

Apollo space flights - Andromeda - Aeroplanes - Agartha - Bees - Birds - Buses - Candy - Cinnamon - Cinnamoroll - Dragons - Elves - Foxes - Fishes - Faeries - Flowers - Ginger - Gargoyles - Hayao Miyazaki - Incense - Japan - Koalas - Lavender - Lemon - Lime - Love - Light - Monkeys - Nautical - Orchids - Oceans - Pandas - Parrots - Quantum Physics - Roses - Russia - Rilakkuma - Space Ships - Stones - Seashells - Trains - Transportation - Underground - Vanilla - Whales - X?? - Yuri Gagarin

Favourite Tea

I like everything except plain black tea!

Favourites: Green, flavoured black (for example spices or berries), white tea, infusions. I LOVE everything with orange, chocolate, vanilla, lavender and raspberry flavours.

About Stamps

I love any stamps!

However, I especially collect:

Space and astronomy themes

Japan - Finland - Greenland - Iceland - Sweden - Vikings - Folklore and Fairy Tales - Ghana - Hong Kong - Taiwan - Russia - Austria (but I have most of them) - Croatia - Medieval times - Antarctica Expeditions - Asian FDCs - Chinese New Year - Turkey - New Zealand

I am interested in private stamp swaps, especially if you are in (or have many stamps from) any of the countries mentioned above. It would be fabulous to find a regular swap partner / postcard pal for this purpose. Also if you collect Austrian or Finnish stamps, I have regular access to those, and will happily work out a swap, regardless of your country.

Comment: Kiitos paljon! Kaikki postimerkit löysi paikn mun kokoelmasta :) Joo, asuin vÀhÀn aikaa ItÀvallassa, Wienin lÀhellÀ. Ihan vain olin puolivuotta työtehtÀvissÀ ja sitten myöhemmin tein siellÀ vielÀ muutaman parin viikon työkeikan. MÀ itseasiassa just muutama pÀivÀ sitten katoin sun profiilia ja mietin ettÀ kiinnostaiskohan sua tehÀ swappi, kun mulla on aika paljon avaruusaiheisia merkkejÀ ja kans Grönlannista jonkun verran.
Response: Helou! :) Kiva, ettÀ postimerkit kelpasivat. Terkkuja kuumasta WienistÀ, suomityttö kaipaa viileÀmpÀÀn pohjoiseen... Oispa kyllÀ aivan mahtavaa tehdÀ swappi, Grönlanti kiinnostaa - ja tottakai sekÀ suomalaiset ettÀ avaruusmerkit myös. MÀ sain sut swappikamuksi MOLEMMISSA mun hostaamissa postimerkkiswapeissa. :D Joten tulet saamaan multa taas lisÀÀ postia. Onko sulla jotain tiettyÀ aihetta, joka juuri nyt kiinnostais? Tai maata? :)

Comment: Vielen lieben Dank fĂŒr deine Postkarte. TatsĂ€chlich ist das Originalkunstwerk wahrscheinlich wesentlich schöner als der Druck auf der Karte. Aber fĂŒr den Swap passte sie natĂŒrlich perfekt
