I've been a swap-bot member since 2010, but I've been fairly inactive for the past three years, mostly monetary reasons. Occasionally I will get a few bucks in my pocket and try swapping again.

I have a ridiculously large postcard collection! For this reason I've had to severely limit which cards I keep.

With very rare exceptions I don't collect touristy postcards (any card which says the name of the place on the front). I understand if this is all you have, but please try to send something different if you can :) Cool stamps are always appreciated

What I like:

*non-touristy

*subversive & weird

*art and illustration

*book covers/ reading

*flowers and plants (especially wildflowers, violets are a favorite)

*nature and nature scenery

*fall

*CATS

*animals (especially unusual animals, frogs, CATS, foxes, insects, sea life... please no dogs)

*birds (OWLS, crows/ravens, songbirds, penguins. ostrich and kiwi)

*weather (lightning,rain, rainbow,snow, etc.)

*Holidays

• food and drink and food production/ agriculture (wineries, etc.)

*Japan

*cute/kawaii

*space

*caves

*vintage of any of the above topics

What I don't like:

• Dogs

• buildings

*ads cards unless it is really cool

• I prefer not to receive touristy cards, but I understand if that is all you have

I am specifically searching for postcards from the following artists/ postcard books

Charlie Harper

Edward Gorey

The art of Instruction: 100 postcards from vintage educational charts

I do collect stamps and use the duplicates for art projects. It really makes my day when people use cool stamps to send their mail!

I enjoy the concept of handmade postcards and mail art.
