My name is Abby, I'm in my early 30's, and I love collecting stationery and trying all kinds of arts and crafts.

I love reading, cats and video games. I live in Witch City (Salem, MA) with my spouse and 3 kitty boyos: a fluffy Maine Coon with thumbs named Chowder, and two young littermates named Noodle and Bean, adopted earlier this year.

I have almost 2000 rolls of rare and weird washi tape and I love to share! I'm open to private swaps, so if you're interested, shoot me a message.

Goodies: Art prints, postcards (I love illustrations, not so much photos), letter sets, Japanese & Korean stationery, patterned paper, postal stamps, ephemera, string and twine (I love Avril yarn!), stamped images, handmade envelopes, enamel pins.

Themes/ Aesthetic: I love all shades of green, watercolors, abstract patterns, nature/botanical, painted landscapes, field guide illustrations, bizarre/surreal, cityscapes, graffiti, video games, grungy edgy fashion, rainy days, daily life/monotony, cozy scenes, outer space (especially Saturn), creepy, Halloween, skeletons, sweary or crass, butts/nudes, 420.
