Here to help keep snail-mail alive. I've "met" some wonderful people here and consider them friends. With that said, I try to put a bit of care and thought into swaps and encourage the same.
As far as hearts go, I give them for TPG: thoughtfulness (yours), presentation (yours), and giddiness (mine). I don't need extras with swaps since I'm in a constant state of downsizing. I prefer quality over quantity. But if I send you extras, it's because I have something I think you can use (i.e., you're helping me downsize). I love decorated envies, especially when they feature your artwork and collage.
Note: I'm allergic to cigar/ette smoke, and anything dusty gets me sneezing, too. So please don't send smoke or dust my way.
Favorites
- colors: red, grey, yellow, aqua; purple & orange together
- places: π Scotland & England; Japanese Tea Garden, San Francisco.
Wish list: Ireland, France, Japan, Scandinavia
- flat stuff: kawaii sticker flakes, colorful unused USA postage, personalized swap cards, holiday stickers, large kawaii memo sheets, cat cards, anything BTS (world's oldest fan here)
- not-so-flat stuff: measuring spoons, gel pens, glue-dots, anything BTS :-)
- creativity: learning how to make homemade pasta and Shoyu ramen (there's a LOT of prep for good ramen); sewing & wreathmaking; mail art. Love fabric pre-cuts and high-quality quilting cottons (Dashwood, Dear Stella, Art Gallery, Windham). I'm a certified fabric hoarder and just as much a fabric snob.
- themes: retro botany, UK, woodlandia, outer space, UFOs, kawaii, k-pop, chalkboard art, echinacea, Shinzi Katoh cats, paranormal
- book collections: Edward Gorey, James Thurber, Clare Turlay Newberry, Shel Silverstein, Stephen King, Brian Wildsmith

- Japanese kawaii: Favorite brands are Papier Platz, Saien, Sanrio, Doronbox, and Q-Lia. Kutusita Nyanko and anything Shinzi Katoh top my wish list. (Love Pusheen, also, but it's not Japanese.) I'm open to new designs, too!
- animals: I'm an animal lover and on some days prefer them to people. Cats are my favorites (have 1), but I'm also a fan of donkeys, alpacas, Highland cows, foxes, owls, sheep, dogs, and unicorns (have 0).
- spring: daffodils, dogwoods, stargazing, spring peepers
- summer: fresh veggies, homemade lemonade, fireflies, Outer Banks
