I'm in my 30s, and a stay at home mom to three little girls. I don't do as much crafting as I used to (except for magickal/nature based crafts which I love to do in the Fall and Winter), but I do like deco books, altered journals, sewing, and stamp carving. I can also knit and crochet. I am just barely getting back into knitting, after having stopped for a few years. I have a shop on Etsy, where I sell vintage clothing.

• Anything vintage
• Whimsical creatures - faeries, unicorns, gnomes, goblins, etc.
• Mermaids, selkies, nymphs...
• Japanese obake (ghosts/monsters)
• Tiny trinkets, bits and bobs (charms, cabochons, beads, etc.)
• Miniatures (for dioramas and matchbox shrines)
• Anything used in Green and Sea witchery (herbs, incense, oils, dried flowers, any nature bits, moss/lichen, crystals/stones, candles, sand, shells, seaweed, sea glass, etc). I'm an Earth sign, and I grew up by the water/ocean. So I feel very connected to both elements.
• Anything similar or inspired by my Etsy favorites (Pls only use this link, the 'favorites' in my vintage shop is strictly for business)
• Surprises!

• Woodland/forest - Mushrooms, deer/fawns, moss/lichen, ferns, clover, foxes, and hedgehogs
• The night sky, stars, moon (esp its phases), and planets
• Fairy tales
• Ballet
• Items that are cute and quirky
• Pop Surrealism/Manga inspired art
• British Victorian and Edwardian time periods
• 1920s, flappers, art deco
• Japanese kawaii fabrics
• Anything dark/creepy/maccabre, skeletons, vampires, zombies, graveyards, Krampus etc.
• Pin up girls both classic and modern
• My favorite color is blue (esp. light blues like robin's and duck egg) and mint green.
• My favorite animals are cats, deer/reindeer, rabbits, and foxes
• Winter accessories (gloves, warm socks etc.)
• Christmas ornaments and small decorations
• My favorite season is winter

• For candy swaps, I prefer chocolate over candies whose main base is sugar with additives (ex. Nerds, Sweetarts, pixie sticks etc). I'm fine with anything that includes licorice, marzipan, nuts, raisins, etc. Pls just no mint or white chocolate.
