Emmalena

Hi, thanks for popping in. Please make yourself at home, the kettle’s just boiled and I’m always ready for a spot of cake!

My name is Emmalena Louisa Ellis, a lover of all things old, postcards and paraphernalia from plays and musical events from yesteryear.

As a published poet and aspiring novelist, my DA will feature some of my musings with writing and my vintage finds and outfits. A scrapbook containing splashes of colour and floral patterns, delicate lace and hints of unfinished perfumes. It is an extension of my Tumblr and a place where I may place poems or outfit ideas, occassional scribbles and doodles from my mind.

Discover with me boxes and curios with secret compartments, writing desks and music boxes. Explore country homes, both stately and chocolate box cottages. I am a keen baker and cook, who loves to rummage for old forgotten recipes, wander the unknown aisles of bookstores and libraries and get lost in a room of old hats before curling up with a good book and a cat(s).

I have a degree in English and American Literature from Keele University and enjoy watching foreign films and period dramas. I play the harp, keyboards, piano, synths and sing and love attending the opera, theatre and ballet when time and money allows. Getting stuck into nature, running through the woods barefoot and free with my thoughts.

I live in Hertfordshire, UK and love making penpals – please let me know if you’d be interested in exchanging letters or emails to this effect. I am 29 (my birthday is the 25th June), Please do not send me anything unsolicited or rude, it will simply be deleted. I am not very good with small talk, so if you do message me more than just a ‘hi’. I promise I don’t bite.

I am also always interested in modelling vintage dresses and outfits and can be reached out to via my contact page. All opinions and reviews I give are my own.

If you should find yourself curious by my ramblings or wish to speak over a virtual cup of tea and biscuits feel free to follow and reply :)

Have a beautiful day, Emmalena x
