Until October 2nd, my little boys' school is having a fundraiser. If you are interested in helping out check out this site. http://www.shoplavenders.com... see links above. They have some pretty neat stuff. A bit different than the typical school fundraisers. Gift & holiday items, flower bulbs, and I think magazine subscription. The boys earn prizes by the number of items sold rather than the dollar amount earned. So little things are fine. In fact a couple little things rather than one big thing would be great. It would really help out the PTO. The student number is 261965. Thanks

Please message me if I have not rated and it's been a couple weeks since send date. I try to rate but sometimes I forget or there is a miscommunication with my PC.

I am a romantic, not love romance but along these lines from Dictionary.com:

1. fanciful; impractical; unrealistic: romantic ideas.
2. imbued with or dominated by idealism, a desire for adventure, chivalry, etc.
3. imaginary, fictitious, or fabulous.

So I like beautiful things, idealistic things, chivalry, honor, sweet things, fantasy, cute things, the romantic style, things that allow me to escape from the real world

Favorite Characters: Winnie-the-Pooh characters (especially classic Pooh... I love A.A. Milne), Little Twin Stars, The Muppet Show, Twiddlebugs, Ernie and Bert, Betty Boop, Ziggy, Sleeping Beauty

I'd eat most anything lol) caramel/toffee/butterscotch, Ding Dongs (ring dings are the only acceptable substitutes), Hostess Cherry fruit pie, Little Debbie's

STICKERS - all most all kinds (I love vintage stickers so if they are yellowed that's fine because stickers from the 70s and early 80s are going to be that way. Of course later ones should not be yellow)

Dover and other specialty coloring books, math puzzles, logic problems, cross sums/kakuro, word puzzles, jigsaw puzzles

COLLECTIONS: Winnie the Pooh characters (except stuffies), Little Twin Stars, Kawaii erasers, Stickers, vintage dishes, Paperchase items

I go oooh and ahh over just about anything from the late 70s and early 80s simply because it reminds me of my childhood. While I don't collect items I do like looking at them or pictures of them.

I am always looking for quick, easy or family-friendly dinner menus with recipes. I can't eat the same thing every week. Well I can but it's boring making it all the time. I'm thinking of starting a swap relating to this. I am trying to eat healthier. Any easy vegetarian MAIN DISH recipes with relatively few ingredients would be great. Not pasta and cheese ones as I have tons of those. Things made with beans and veggies. I look at tons of recipes and they sound good but the list of ingredients is SO LONG I don't even bother. I am a SAHM with 4 kids at home and I got so much to do I rarely want to have a long process of dinner with lots of chopping and what not.

I love handmade items items so no need to ask if you can send handmade :) I never trade or reswap handmade items. They are too precious even ones that don't turn out so great. There is too much heart and soul put in.

Please don't send folded stationery papers or any other folded papers (craft, etc) for that matter

I LOVE stickers but please NO teacher/reward stickers or the sheets from the kid sticker pads... the ones with multiple sheets that have tiny circle stickers.

Anything with alcohol in it

Coffee or anything coffee/mocha flavored.

banana, apple, lime and mint flavors

Makeup.. with the exception of lip balm/lip gloss of course as I have it listed in my faves :)

Jewelry

Lavender - yes I am one of the few people in the world that cannot stand the smell of lavender

Romance or horror/thriller/gory novels

Paperchase!!!

Blind box toys

Vintage trading cards... Charlie's Angels, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Happy Days, Mork and Mindy, etc

Stickles (I have eucalyptus, waterfall, turquoise, pink and white)

Fantasy/Mythology/Celtic cross-stitch patterns/books/leaflets (used is fine) I especially love Teresa Wentzler, Mirabila and Lavender and Lace Designs

Cross-Stitch magazines (preowned and older are fine)

I have a new, old house. I am looking for vintage or vintage looking linens to decorate with. Kind of shabby chic style but not quite. I'm trying to find curtains for my kitchen or sheets/fabrics to make them with, small oblong tablecloths, doilies, kitchen towels, toss pillows (esp handkerchief ones). Small florals like little roses and stuff like that. I have pale blue walls and white furniture so I just want some light colors to accent. It's kind of low-key.

Picture frames -- vintage looking, white or brushed nickel or some other kind of subdued silver tone .. not shiny

I like all sorts of postcards but I'm really interested in the store-bought local/area recipe ones right now if you have them on hand. Also state capitol building postcards again if you have them on hand. I'd like all 50... I thought that would be cool. I just got one from Mississippi. Other than that any type of postcard will do.

Refrigerator magnets... mostly because my kids keep losing mine... All types.. souvenir, deco, handmade, David & Goliath type, funny, vintage, whatever :)

Jean Greenhowe leaflets - the ones with little toys and sweets

I love reading, poetry, shopping, decorating my home, painting or refinishing furniture, sewing by hand, felt items, crocheting... mostly amigurumi, knitting, cross-stitch, matchboxes, and paper crafts.

Right now I'm not doing much because everything is in storage. I just have my cross-stitch and knitting/crochet items. Plus I'm still trying to organize our house we just moved a couple months ago. Hopefully I will have my craft room set up in September.
