👋🏽Hello!

My name is Micaela and I live in Seattle, Washington, USA. 💌

I recently moved to Seattle in January 2020 from San Francisco with my fiancé. I work as a graphic designer in the tech industry, and he works as a recruiter also in tech. I’m 27, was born in the Napa Valley (St. Helena) and went to college there as well. My parents still live there and I love going back home and visiting them and their mini dachshund, Cashew.

I also have a small online shop where I sell stamps and stationery. Go to viamicaela.com to check it out! ❤️

.

📮These are just a few of the things I love:

• Dachshunds! (my family has a small English Cream long hair dachshund named Cashew, so I love anything dachshund-related)

• Collecting and using vintage postage stamps (I especially love animal stamps, architecture & art stamps, mail-related stamps, and floral/nature themed stamps)

• Cards and stationery (love anything letterpress, gold foil, pretty illustration, floral/nature, coffee, or snail-mail related!)

• Stickers (love animal, floral, nature, kawaii ones, coffee, travel, books and snail-mail related ones! Also love mrs grossman's, stickii and pipsticks too)

• Traveling (favorite places are Florence, Paris, Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-sea, and Tulum in Mexico)

• Reading and baking (love cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies)

• Calligraphy (I'm a novice)

• Favorite foods are Mexican being that I'm half Mexican, and I love Italian food, and any yummy vegan soups (recipes welcome!)

• Typewriters (I own an Olympia DeLuxe Cursive one)

📮Postcards I like to receive:

• Animals: My favorite animals are dogs/dachshunds, horses, elephants, tigers, turtles, humpback whales, and hedgehogs.

• Nature: I am a big fan of cacti and succulents, and always welcome more flora and fauna in my mailbox. I also love fruit, tulips, and redwood trees.

• Abstract: I love abstract and modern art so if you have a postcard lying around, I'd love it! I used to visit the SFMOMA often, and love Ellsworth Kelly. I also love impressionist art like Monet, Degas, Cézanne, Matisse.

• Landscapes: I like tourist postcards that aren't the usual tourist postcards. But I also love natural landscapes and cityscapes and landmarks. Tell me about your town/city!

Please: If you don't receive something from me, private message me.

It is likely that it is lost in the mail or just delayed, as I usually send out swaps during the first two days after partners are assigned. I will appreciate a private message asking to resend immensely, and will extend the courtesy to all of you out there as well 😊Thank you! I take pride in my swaps and getting them to their homes as quickly as possible.
