(and boats!) (and bridges!) -Love chocolate, but not white chocolate -Shopping small indie stores is FUN, but I still use Amazon too; hand-crafted items are cool -No allergies; smoke-free, pet-free home -Really dislike clowns

At the moment I am open to all postcards except ads from companies completely unrelated to you. I particularly love postcards that feature trains or tea cups. But when the swap is sender's choice, I have no problem with receiving a postcard of any type that you love and want to send out into the world.

I have been pleasantly surprised by swap goodies I would have never thought of asking for, so please send me things you love and are passionate about because even if it's not something I asked for, I might just like it as much as you do.

But if you're the suggestion-loving type, I'll try to oblige: magnets are FUN; calendars purchased or handmade; pens! and fun post-it pads; envelopes; family recipes, with a photo would be so splendid; anything unique to your hometown or beloved by the locals; erasers that erase really well; college stickers or decals; pieces of paper, shiny-fancy-new or delicately-aged-vintage, it's all good; Fred Harvey postcards or anything to do with trains, westward expansion, and 19th century American southwest; seeds from your garden and a photo of the plant if available; or share a sample of your favorite beads and embroidery thread or fabric. Thanks for the gifts!

I'm using a few different planners now. I love planners and journals. It's always a treat to receive planner related items like: washi and deco tape, page flags, sticky notes of all shapes and sizes, planner stickers, deco paperclips, pens, little die-cuts. Shiny things are a treat, like glitter tape or stickers, even flat sequence can be made into a sticker with some glue tape. Glue tape and dots are wonderful too.
