Zanet

Hello to you all, my name is Žaneta and I live in Czech republic in a small town called Hostivice, near our beautiful capital Prague. I simply love this swap idea! I do postrcrossing and some other craft swaps too. So I am really glad to have found this website! Appart from snail mail and all things related I also love reading, theatre, gardening, birdwatching, nature walks, hiking, running, cooking, traveling and pottery making. I enjoy having the four weather seasons as my garden keeps changing and I get different plants and colours all the time. I like to try new things, see new places... what is new is interesting for me. Therefore I really welcome anything you would like to share with me... this goes to postcards, notecards, washi... anything! Feel free to send and share your favourite things and I will be happy. What matters most is knowing you enjoy what you make for me or what you share. You can usually tell the amount of effort people put in their swaps and I can honestly say I enjoy sending more then receiving... no, wait... I enjoy them both the same:) I just really LOVE snailmail!

Reading is one of my biggest hobbies. I usually read in the evening when the house gets quiet (glass of red wine or cup of tea keeping me company). My favourite authors are Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, Ray Bradbury, Lewis Carroll, Jaroslav Havlíček (that is a Czech author writing mostly psychological novels), Jan Neruda (also Czech), J. R. R. Tolkien, cooking books and travel journals. I really welcome new book suggestions!

• I am not much into the traditional multi view tourist postcards, always prefere one picture view
• guns, violence
  • cute animals and animals with clothes on
  • Christian related items (I just don´t like the crosses and church images, nothing against any religion in general)
  • white sugar and candies PLEASE IF YOU FEEL LIKE SENDING SWEETS TRY THE ONES WITH NO SUGAR, LOW SUGAR OR BROWN SUGAR, I will be very happy for them!

I am big fun of food and drinks - I love trying what I haven´t tasted yet. Only I always prefere low sugar or brown sugar - sugarfree is the best option:) Normally (meaning when I am not traveling and tasting everything) I like to eat healthy food. I don´t use white sugar, cow´s milk, I use gluten free flour... I prefere that for swaps too HOWEVER please feel free to send whatever you would like to send. I will be happy to try everything just like when I am on holidays:)

POSTCARDS I prefere postcards naked and stamped (nice, unusual stamps appreciated) I generaly prefere cards that are a bit different, not big fun of the tourist postcards I like shaped postcards, colourfull, crazy, photos, Yuko Higuchi´s drawings, quotes, movie posters, botanical...
