I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and now live in Portland, Oregon, USA.
Some things I love to receive through swaps:
Top of my list is everyday items from other countries, like supermarket flyers, take-out food menus, train/bus maps, train tickets, and coins.
Tea! I love different types of black and fruit tea. My latest favorite is blueberry tea, which I received in a swap. I'm not a huge fan of green tea, unless it's flavored in some way. No loose teas please.
Drink mixes
Interesting papers, embellishments, and anything else that can be used for collage.
Miniature things
Rubber stamps (preferably abstract shapes)
Small notebooks with covers (the kind that can get tossed it a bag and not get messed up)
Socks in a largish size, average length (ie. not knee high or really short)
Coasters (I don't own any but would like one nice set)
Hungry Planet & Material World (by Peter Menzel), 84 Charing Cross Road, Sherlock Holmes, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, sci-fi (especially post-apocalyptic fiction).
Survivorman, 1900's House (and other BBC/PBS documentaries in the same vein), Hamish Macbeth, Blackadder, The Goodies. I also love listening to BBC radio over the net...especially "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" and "Just a Minute".
Jethro Tull, Simon and Garfunkel, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake ♪ ♪ ♪
Hand-carved stamps, ATC's, collage...and anything else involving paper or ink!
None in progress

Rosemary, your package arrived today! It took so long because of a customs strike over here... But it got here safely! I love everything, thank you so so so much! The keychain is awesome, I'll put it along with my keys! And the postcard, wow! I also love the tea, I'm gonna try it tonight!
Thank you again for swapping!
Lots of love,
Carolina

LOL... i missed twisties when i lived in the UK too. Hey if you ever want to do a private swap gimmie a shout. i'll slip some twisties/minties/fantails/cherry ripe/tim tams your way!
Thank you for the flyers! They arrived today! It's all so much cheaper than here...And yes, we do have coupons, but not regularly. It's only sometimes.Don't know if you received my flyers yet. I sent them some time ago.Thanks again!
Hi Rosemary!
No it hasn't arrived yet, but I'm starting to think there's a problem with my PO. I have talked to my postofficer already to see if I things show up, because yours isn't the only package which hasn't arrived. Please don't send another one, I don't tihnk it's fair since I believe the problem is with my PO! I'll keep you informed!
Lots of love,
Carolina
Hey there! I have added you on AIM, I'm new to it so I don't know if I did it right...
Hope to talk to you soon! :D

Thanks :)
I'm so glad they got to you safely! :) And glad you liked everything too.
Yours has not arrived yet, I'll let you know as soon as I receive it!
Rosemary, I'm thinking of moving to NYC to go to business school in a few years (need to think about these things in advance, lol!). If you don't mind, could we have a little chat one of these days about it? I don't know NY, but I'm spending Christmas there this year (hopefully!). Anyways, my GoogleTalk is carolguedes. Feel free to add me! Thanks!
Lots of love,
Carolina
