June 2024 I'm back to the postcrossing and swapbot as I was missing real mail exchange

2021 Moved from Ukraine to France

2018 Stopped swapping due to the moving to different city

I will rate as soon as I get your mails(If didn't rated it means I did not received anything yet) and I never leave bad ratings without sending a message first to ask why and wait the response from my partner.

I live in the countryside and in most of the cases I will put the mail into little village postal box. Mail is being picked up daily on the weekdays. So it's possible that I mark swap as sent one day, but it will have the postal cancelation of the next day.

French Postal system can be quite slow. Average delivery time to Europe - 2 weeks, USA and Canada - 3-4 weeks, Oceania - 1-1,5 months.

Send me a message soon if you have not received my package/letter/postcard in a reasonable amount of time or if I sent items that have not meet the swap requirements before you rate me 1's or 3's. I will be happy to resend.

I’m illustrator and I love everything creative - drawing, sewing, flower pressing, journalling etc. I have a small shop where I sell my prints, stickers and also handmade watercolour paints.

I love animals, nature, walks in the forest, gardening and foraging.

I’m into cottagecore and love Victorian and Edwardian outfits.

I love playing board games, we have a big collection and usually play several times a week (read daily). Everdell, Wingspan, Clank, Terraforming Mars are favs.

Favourite season - autumn.

Mostly reading fantasy and sci-fi, favourite author Brandon Sanderson.

As an artist I strongly stand against AI, so please don't send postcards with AI pictures. I do understand that most people don't know how to distinguish the art made by AI, in which case I encourage you to learn more about that. There are many articles on how to spot AI generated pictures, about environmental harm and unethical data gathering of AI.
