About Me

My name is Maryke , I am 36 and I live in sunny South Africa with my husband and twin toddler girls.

I consider myself Witty, open-minded and creative.

Birthday is in February, star sign is Pisces

I dream of packing up everything and moving my family to Austria, Netherlands or Germany . I want to live next to mountains and castles and sing "the hills are alive with the sound of music" Lol! 🇩🇪🇳🇱🇦🇹

My likes

Favorite colour is Teal, Turqoise and hot pink. Bright Colours, Neons and happy designs.

I like gothic things or Rock style. I love Pin-Ups and Rockabilly, old hollywood and Art Neveau.

I love chocolate, preferably as dark as my soul... Lol! I love KitKat, salted caramel; Reeses Peanut Butter cups and sour candy.

I LOVE sticker sheets and have been collecting since I was a little girl. I had a great collection of SandyLion stickers back in the 90s but some kid stole my collection 😭😭

Nail art . Harry Potter - House Slytherine, Halloween and zombies. Queen of England Betty Boop I Love dogs, my favorite being Wired Hair Fox Terriers

TEA: I am happy to receive tea, any kind. Someone once sent me Davidsons White Peach Tea and that was pretty amazing stuff. ☕

I love cooking dishes from all over the world, so feel free to send a recipe.

I'm currently teaching myself how to cook Mexican dishes (or Tex mex) and am always looking for Taco seasoning as it's damn near impossible to find here. Although I'm not into spicy food, i tend to keep my dishes mild and love learning traditional dishes from other countries. So feel free to also send recipes from your area.

I love all kinds of birds and especially anything that has Flamingos on it "be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons" I like Kawaii but it's really hard to find anything Kawaii in my country.

Not so keen on...

Not so keen on liquorice. Not keen on discussing Feminism, racism or any other kind of -ism.

Need to know

At this time i might be taking a break from letter writing as the South AFrican Postal service has had a major surge in branches closing, strikes and poor delivery service. I haven't received letters in month nor has my letters been delivered and it saddens me deeply as I love sending letters.

I hope to return soon.

Comment: Thank you so much for this envie of happy mail, its been a little slow in coming but I'll blame my countrys mail system for that part. Peach was such a difficult themed envie to fill and you smashed it. Great stuff

Comment: I can't wait to try this spice packet. It's totally new to me and it sounds amazing! The envelope was beautiful. I loved the quote. Thank you so much! Made my day.
Response: I'm so glad you like it. I loved creating it and hope you like the recipe. It's luckily a mild curry but full of flavor. Enjoy!
