US Only! Check for International

I am in love with all types of ephemera, my favorite being vintage and vintage style! I find it to be the most inspiring things that float into my mailbox from swapbot, so I decided to create this swap for those of you who are in love with it as much as I am!

For this swap, vintage & antique items are key (you can also add antique INSPIRED items)! CRAM a small box (around 6Ò€?x6Ò€?x6Ò€?, use your good judgment. Putting your goodies in a cigar box would be amazing too!) full of goodies for your partner, and inspire them! Your packages do not have to have a theme, but please send items that you would love to receive! For hearts Γ’β‚¬β€œ check out your partners profile and add items related to their likes in their profile.

REMEMBER Γ’β‚¬β€œ This is inspirational ephemera! So you can send items to be used in any kind of craft projects really (It doesnÒ€ℒt have to be just for ATCs/Scrapbooking/Matchboxes/ect.).

Some Ideas to get you started (but not limited to!):

  • interesting insects
  • alphabet blocks
  • valentines
  • antique playing cards
  • fascinating buttons & embellishments
  • ribbons & laces
  • brads
  • sheet music
  • stickers
  • Cameos
  • uncommon papers
  • paper punches
  • fabulous trims
  • used postage stamps from around the world
  • plastic animals
  • Bingo cards
  • Strands of beads or pearls
  • Charms or broken jewelry
  • Skeleton keys
  • Rubber stamps & interesting inks/embossing powder

This swap is US only (If you would like to start an international one, feel free!). You must have a rating of 4.8+ to join in, NO no-sends, and at least 5 hearts from real swaps, to join in! I will be giving ample time to complete this swap, so you can make an amazing package for your partner!

Any questions, comments, or ideas - post away!
