lilrawker 11/13/2008 #

I have a question: Let's say my partner listed lipbalms, buttons, ATC's, cards and stickers as things they collect. Should I get them 1 of each 5 things, or could I get two lipbalms, two buttons and one atc?

Just trying to figure out if I have to get 5 different hings or not. Cause some items might be hard to find in some countries!

@tsarinaerika I agree. I find it so interesting the things people collect, that's what inspired this swap. Thanks for joining and updating. :) Very excited! :)

littleabraham 11/13/2008 #

@lilrawker I completely agree that some items may be hard to find. That's the reason I listed so many for my own, ultimately the choice is yours.. just talk it over with you partner. I think that would be ok, if you couldn't find 5 different things. That's understandable. Thanks for joining.

BleakOptimism 11/16/2008 #

Ohh this I cannot resist, I haven't swapped for a while, and this sounds perfect for me :D

One clarification, does it matter if the items are handmade/new/used?

Onto my list of things I collect:

  • Anything Kiwi bird (probably no useful unless you are in New Zealand),
  • Rubber ducks
  • teapots
  • tea balls
  • Anything zombie (or horror) related
  • Odd plushies (any size, I have a hermit crab, a meerkat and a starfish in my collection)
  • Anything skull or skeleton related
  • Anything spooky/kooky/occult (think, 'would a goth like this?')
  • Anything Harry Potter or Doctor Who

I am sure the list can be worked with so whoever gets me doesn't have to send something bulky, and if you want some clarification on any of them, just check out my profile and or contact me and I can better explain what I mean by anything.

LydiaAbigail 11/16/2008 #

I think it's best for me to just say; check out my wishlist(s) on my profile. There are so much that I collect.

littleabraham 11/16/2008 #

@BleakOptimism Thanks for updating and for joining the swap! :) I'm very excited! To answer your question, it doesn't matter to me because there are some of us who love vintage, thrift, antique and handmade items. SO that is absolutely fine with me. Maybe check with your partner when they are assigned though to see if it would be ok with them, but it's fine with me. :)

But I also like vegetarian cookbooks, dog picture books, small stuffed animals for my dogs (not the kind with the beads in them), cotton fabric for sewing, and gaudy broaches or pins.

Canariangal78 12/ 4/2008 #

Fantastic idea for a swap @littleabraham ! I am positive you will be able to host this on a regular basis as you will get people interested for sure.

I am just (more than) a little worried I would get as a partner someone who only collects heavy things like teapots etc... as it would cost me a fortune to ship something like that from Spain :(

Also someone who only collects vintage things as that's impossible to get where I live.

Let's keep my fingers crossed that does not happen.

I collect:

  • Literary journals from any country (in English)

  • Fridge magnets from any country

  • Lighthouse postcards in mint condition (from any country too)

  • Mix CD of music in any other language than my own (Spanish)

  • Tea (bagged) from other countries - The only one I don't like is black tea, happy with any other flavors :)

  • Anything Alaska themed (it's one of my dreamlands)

  • Owl themed stationery

  • Paul Auster novels in English (I only have one so far - Timbuktu)

  • Chocolate from other countries (Ehm... I collect it for five minutes and then I gobble it down LOL... I adore chocolate, any kind except white chocolate)

  • Fabric for coin purses (so just a little piece will do)

Thanks for reading!

Hi :) Some things I collect are for actual collections, some are supplies for my arts/crafts… and some fall into both categories. Oh and I don't mind used/thrifted items as long as they are in good condition :)

  • Vintage children's flash cards that have an image and a matching word.
  • Vintage children's dictionaries/first word books (the pictures have labels).
  • Pins/brooches in the shape of a flower.
  • Any images of fruit, candy/chocolate, cupcakes, ice cream, other sweets and bicycles.
  • Used postage stamps. (But I don’t need any of the Forever Liberty Bell stamp!)
  • Playing cards or tarot cards with a pretty/interesting design on the back.
  • Pretty vintage glass serving bowls, dishes, plates.
  • Vinyl records (the big ones—LPs)… any artist!
  • Cabochons and pretty/interesting sew-on buttons.
  • Papers, cardstock, wallpaper, patterned contact paper/shelf liners.
  • Any interesting game pieces (i.e. wooden Scrabble tiles, Monopoly movers, chess and puzzle pieces).
  • Other small odds and ends like keys, bottle caps, fortune cookie fortunes, typewriter keys or telephone/calculator buttons.
  • Rubber/clear stamps. (Nothing religious, not people’s faces, no words/text please.)
  • Scraps of fabric (especially with fruit or cupcakes).

I think this is quite a long list already, but if you are looking for more ideas please see my profile. Thank you very much!

@Canariangal78 Thanks for joining and updating! :) I'm hoping to be able to do this on a regular basis. This will be the first time hosting so I'm really excited. I knew that I would have some people interested in the swap, but I had no idea I'd have this many people to sign up. WOW. It's awesome. I feel so giddy now. lol. Hopefully you will get someone that is understanding and willing to receive numerous items to choose from instead of a few things like that. :) Let me know if you have any problems with that or concerns or questions after they are chosen. :)
