lovefromkiara

hello! 📬 ⚠️ i am on holiday in september on an island with limited reception, i will check messages when i can but i am not participating in/resending swaps until october when i am home again ⚠️

i'm kiara. i live in sydney, australia (in the western suburbs) 🇦🇺.

i work as a library assistant and i like reading. i'm an introvert who enjoys being creative, journaling, cozy gaming, art, and crafts. i love pastel colours, animals, simple illustrations and elegant designs. · .˚ ༘♡⋆｡˚🌷

i really appreciate snail mail / happy mail and "slowing down" to write or read mail. i tend to stress out a lot so it's a really calming activity for me to penpal or plan/create a swap

i am excited to swap with you! thank you so much for taking the time to look at my profile.

♡ the secret garden, frances hodgson burnett

♡ imogen, obviously, becky albertalli

♡ dirt town, hayley scrivenor

♡ the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, mark haddon

· .˚ ༘♡⋆｡˚

♡ cute animals! i love cats, quokkas, red pandas, quolls, potoroos, pademelons, dunnarts, and wallabies (if you've not heard of some of these - they're native australian wildlife, feel free to google them!)

♡ pastel colours

♡ green tea & fruit tea

♡ plants and flowers (love mint and lavender)

♡ fruits! strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, fruit farms

♡ art markets - they always make me broke but i love seeing and supporting all the local artists

♡ photos! i enjoy taking and sharing instax photos, and photostrip photos (photostrips usually at events)

♡ cute stamps - I try to add nice ones to my swaps wherever possible.

i hope this lets you know a bit more about me and my interests - don't hesitate to ask me things, or tell me about your interests, i'm happy to chat and make friends ˚ ·* . ༘♡⋆｡˚

♡ lying. please don't lie to me, let's be honest with each other.

♡ racism. it's not acceptable.

♡ animal cruelty. animals do not deserves to suffer, be trapped, become endangered or extinct, have their home destroyed or be used for experimentation. no animal circus related items.

♡ no realistic horror, gore, scary stuff or medical stuff please.

♡ cigarettes.

♡ ad postcards that aren't tasteful - museum, art gallery or historical postcards are okay but please no businesses, nothing that you would not display on your own bedroom wall. (unless swap specifics any ad postcards ofc)

♡ nudity/sexual content - sorry i'm a sensitive asexual baby and i don't wanna see anything for "mature audiences only".

♡ handmade postcards that are low effort, very small and/or made of paper instead of cardstock. with my postal service you are also risking it will get damaged because thin cards can get stuck or ripped during processing.

my absolute favourite things to receive are stickers from local artists, mini animal/plant stickers and postcards.

quality over quantity ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ ` ꒱ྀིა

i am happy with anything though, thoughtful messages, cute drawings.

thank you for checking out my profile. you can also contact me on instagram @lovefromkiara

happy swapping, love from kiara!
