About Me

Hello from the Piedmont! ! I am a slow swapper who enjoys making each package; I'm returning to Swap-Bot after a long hiatus as I rebuild my health and enter a new phase of life. I've used crafting, creativity and swapping to ward off workaholism. I like working with paper and beads, and strive to re-use and re-purpose material whenever I can. The push to reduce, re-use, and recycle is a real presence in our household. FYI: I do re-swap items I've received that I cannot use, are duplicates, etc. If you send something and would prefer I not do this, just let me know. Otherwise, we'll let the swapping universe sort it all out so that everyone gets what they need. :)

Things I Like

  • sea glass
  • coffee-flavored candy
  • milk or white chocolate, and pecans
  • vintage children's books or book pages
  • positive energy
  • citrus-lemon, lime, orange, tangerine (mmmm!), pumpkin, caramel: flavors & colors
  • Reading to little children
  • good felt
  • old quilts
  • helping pet rescue organizations
  • second chances
  • terrariums
  • people who resolve conflicts peacefully and proactively
  • swappers who are proud of what they send

Styles I Like: Shabby chic, Retro (especially 1930-1960), A little bit of steampunk

No, Thank You

Things I Don't Particularly Care For:

floral fragrances; anything too formal; religious or military things; Dottee dolls; Pop culture the smell of cigarette smoke; mean people; Stickers; the color Gray; Teddy bears and other stuffed animals; Rude drivers; Barbie; Nickelodeon; Disney or other licensed characters Anything with artificial sweeteners

Things I Like To Re-Purpose

vintage cards, books, dictionary pages pre-1970 children's books

Things I'm Trying to Learn

  • It's okay not to be perfect.
  • This, too, shall pass.
  • Where there is great love, miracles happen.
  • No act of kindness is ever wasted.
  • Frustrating people are usually the ones who need the most love.
  • Tomorrow is another day.
  • Be as kind to yourself as you are to others.
  • It's all good.

Favorite Movies

Amelie, Best in Show, Mighty Wind, Off the Grid, Princess Bride, That Thing You Do, Moonstruck, Lord of the Rings, Triplets of Belleville, Avatar, Cadillac Records

Wish List

  • Scraps from old quilts and vintage tablecloths
  • Fun twine, ribbon, and fiber;
  • Manila tags (the kind from office supply stores)
  • Nice felt
  • Old maps
  • Back issues of Somerset magazines

Didn't Get Your Item?

Please PM me and let me know. Flaking is bad karma - I would never do it intentionally.

Favorite Television

Gratitude

Many thanks to those swappers - past, present, & future - who've been thoughtful, generous and kind.
