Ideas for my holiday exchange partners:
I love bookmarks, Christmas decorations, cats, all sweets (*Except licorice/Lakritz/liquorice/réglisse), anything to do with Christmas in Scandinavia, Germany, or France; stickers; used stamps of Christmas, animals, or art. I like anything about little Greyfriars Bobby or Scottish or Skye terriers. I love miniature books, soy candles, anything sparkly, hand creams (or any travel size items). I also collect pretty paper napkins, a single one is fine. Really, any surprise will be appreciated. I hope this helps!
I have varied reading interests, especially love cozy mysteries. The books on my shelf don’t accurately reflect my tastes, as most are acquired at library sales…I go at the end when you can “fill a bag for [$3, $5, $8…]”. And believe me, you can cram a lot of books into one paper shopping bag if you set your mind to it. Nor do I usually stop at one bag…(bit of a hoarding problem, perhaps? [smile]). So I always have lots of books to release as well as to swap on PaperbackSwap and BookMooch. I love wild releasing, and have had most luck so far with books left at ATMs and Trader Joe's.
My other interests include languages (read several, but speak none fluently – except English, of course and that may be open for debate [smile], cross-stitch (little spurts of activity now and then), tutoring ESL, travel, thrift store shopping, aka retail therapy…
The Russian Reading group that I belonged to for over 15 years disbanded in 2011 due to illness of a member. Tom lost his struggle with cancer on October 10, 2012. RIP Tom - we'll miss your hospitality and quick wit.
On June 27, 2011 my beloved kitty Muffet passed away after a short illness. She was 18. After nearly 6 months without one, in December I adopted another all black kitty whom I call "Puff" (short for Little Black Puff, as shelter staff named her). She's 4 years old, and, although I never raised children, I think I now know what it's like to have a toddler in the house - she's into EVERYTHING - no more candles or cups of tea carelessly placed on end tables! She provides so much amusement that it more than compensates for these little inconveniences :-).
My dream is to live in Europe for a year, ideally in a border town in order to practice two languages at once…and possibly gain fluency in at least one of them!
