Hello! I’m a linguist and anthropologist from Ohio! I’m not new to swaps, but am I new(-ish) to this site.

I love animals, specifically dogs and birds. Even MORE specifics I love flamingoes, parrots, toucans, Yorkshire terriers, and Malteses. I have an 8 year old Maltese who thinks she is the center of the universe.

I currently research music and language in Kazakhstan, as well as Appalachian folklore.

I have rarely met a genre I didn’t like. I love folk, bluegrass, metal, girl pop, psychedelic rock, anything and everything. I love discovering music from new countries and in languages I can’t understand.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

Old maps, atlases, globes, etc. I love scoring a globe that’s so old the countries are different on it.

Anything related to languages.

Folk art from anywhere.

The color blue! I am working on a blue quilt and would love some unique charm squares (of course I can send you something other than blue :D)

These are items and themes I don’t like —

Gore or violence

Religious items, unless they’re cultural or ethnically specific or I signed up for a specific swap where it’s the theme

Zombies

Sewing

Handmade postcards and cards

Upcycling stationery and furniture

Jewelry making, specifically beadwork

Crochet and knitting

Quilting
