My name is Abby, I just kissed my 20's goodbye, and I love collecting stationery and trying all kinds of arts and crafts. Please spice up my life with some happy mail!

I'm a huge bookworm, I read between 60 and 100 books a year. I love to curl up with my fluffy Maine Coon cat named Chowder and read until we both doze off. I also have a bratty black cat named Jafar who can turn you to stone with his glare o.o

I have almost 2000 rolls of rare and weird washi tapes & I love to share! If you have a special interest I can (probably) find a washi in my collection for it. I'm open to private swaps, just message me!

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.
