Hello swap friends! First off, if I have regularly exchanged letters with you, my deep apologies - my work and other demands have really taken away my free time, so no more letter writing time for me - but always down for a quick swap exchange.

I am Tracy, a registered social worker. I am working a new job which I love, doing social work for 130 residents in a private care home. I whole-heartedly love every one of the residents in my care. We are lucky because the YMCA takes care of our rec activities and damn they are good!

I am 3 years into farming on my little 15 acres within city limits. What a learning curve! Who knew we would have emus (we rescued another 2 this week) and highland cows? My favorite is Growler, the bull, and also Betty the cow who just loves being massaged. The cultivated gardens on this property are so pretty and well thought out by the previous owners. My husband and I have managed to rent the grounds as a wedding venue right through Summer 2025. We also have 2 Air BNB’s on the grounds; it is like travelling without leaving home, we meet so many interesting people.

I enjoy new places and most recently have gone on a sea charter outside of Prince Rupert, an 8 hour drive from my inland town. Some of the most interesting international places I have been are: Orinoco delta in Venezuela; Greenland; Iceland; Channel Islands; Varanasi, India; Cappadocia; El Salvador & Nicaragua; Haida Gwaii; Japan; Hawaii; Laos & Cambodia. Later in October, I will be in Ireland and in March, I think we are doing cooking school in Italy.

Things that I enjoy: Anything wacky Friendship Booklets/Sheets Pass Along Things (just no label bags please) ATC’s Nature, wild lands, hiking, foraging, essential oils Cooking recipes, snacks, teas Social innovation Mythology, history, world affairs Literary Fiction My lively menagerie of farm animal friends My husband and his relentless brainstorming and business endeavours Friendships - mini adventures with friends - recently we foraged wild bog cranberries, bought consignment clothes, attended a wine lovers dinner, and partook in an essential oil cosmetic and soap making workshop.

Wish List: Thrift/previously worn earrings, necklaces, brooches Vintage postcards and other postcards including ad cards - my favorite vintage cards are pre-1950, the older the better - themes for cards: roadside attractions, indigenous, maps, funny, marketing, castles, people, signs of the times Stickers, washi B&W vintage photos Date of first issue stamped envelopes ATCs Friendship Books & Pass Along Things Seeds Bookmarks Return address labels. Postage stamps - new or used Coins Low denomination paper money Stationery, note paper, rice paper, washi, stickers Any junk that might be used in assembling art Ephemera

I don't care for cutesy/girlie things. I am not religious but still appreciate religious aesthetics.

Some of the best things I have ever received through swap-bot swaps are: disco globe clip on earrings, art by Cara Williams, a petrified clam, a feather from a great horned owl, ATC’s, foreign coins, quills, Greek magnet, needlepoint, cat teeth from a humane shelter (strange but I’ll take it! Haha), photos of someone’s hamster, a hand-made anti-racism booklet with illustrations. Thank-you!!!! I love this community and its connections. I have met a few penpals (from Austria, Ukraine and Surinam) and love doing so.

Happy swapping.

Comment: Thank you for the pass alongs! It's great to run into a fellow social worker. It's a draining job for sure. May you find some much earned rest and refill. ;). Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the great surprise! No one has ever sent me something in return for a swap. You really made my week with your kind gesture. I will pay it forward.
