Description:

This is one of my favorite kinds of low costs swaps! It will be the third time I've hosted this found ephemera swap here! I also used to host it a long time ago on the Nervousness swap site.

Send your two partners a few days worth of small and mostly flat items that reflect your life. Items might include postcards from your area or your recent travels, a bag of your favorite tea, the program of a play you went to see, a menu from the place you last went to eat, a recipe of food you cooked, an odd but clean note you found on the street, a brochure from the museum where you volunteer, chopsticks from your local Asian restaurant, a funny card you received, blank note cards you got a good deal on at the local thrift shop, your favorite local free paper, brochures of places you went on a recent vacation, a free sample art postcard from a local show, a small pack of stickers, pages from a favorite magazine, a temp tat from the local fair, free bookmarks from your local library, a flyer for a local event, etc. Make it something your partners will enjoy and even though it is inexpensive, something you will enjoy compiling and sending.

International- so we can share everyday paper ephemera around the world! Since the things we are sending do not have to be partner specific, you can start collecting now. :)

Open to experienced swappers who are non-flakers who have at least a 4.99. Also open to dedicated newbies who are not flaky and have a full profile. Anyone with no sends, regular late sends, or sketchy profiles will be dropped, including newbies who look fishy.

Used and found items are of course okay for this swap but please do not send dirty items. Also, this is NOT a destash swap. Do not send your partners a bunch of cleaned out craft supplies/ unwanted paper scraps for the sake of getting rid of them. This swap has been great fun in the past and a good way to learn about others! But a few people have used it solely as a chance to clean out their junk drawers and send random bits of craft paper and craft supplies with no meaning behind them. That is not the point of the swap.

Have fun compiling and sharing some found ephemera from your life with your two partners!

I like this swap idea a lot, but my dashboard is full right now, so I hope you'll do it again sometime!
