Hi, I’m Jen.
I am a married, stay at home mom to 3 boys. I am addicted to vintage papers like ledgers, library cards, old index cards, forms, envelopes, etc.
I am working on a recipe journal made from a vintage cookbook. It is an amazing project and so much fun. I am also making a garden journal using my vintage Better Homes & Gardens Garden Book. I make travel journals from all of our adventures.
Current Journals: travel journals from my Bahamas trip and Amsterdam trip, my summer 2022 journal, gardening, recipe, a few art journals and my classic journal for writing.
I'm going to try an ABC list because I find them so helpful when my swap partner has one. So, here goes, the ABCs of me:
A: art, address labels, animals, Annapolis, altered art, Amsterdam, ATCs, alternative music, ads (vintage), antiquarian
B: books, birds, boating, Buddha, bohemian, Bahamas, Ban.do, butterflies, botanical, Banksy, Better Homes and Gardens (vintage only), bookstores, Brooklyn Art Library
C: collage, The Cure, color palettes, cameras, Christianity, churches, Chagall, curiosities
D: Dutch, Depeche Mode, die cuts, doodling, Delft blue
E: ephemera, envelopes, 80s, environment, Earth
F: fishing, Florida, flowers, the Florida Keys, Fort Lauderdale, Field Notes, fussy cuts
G: gardening, green, good vibes, gratitude
H: Holland, handmade, hope, happiness, hippie, Tim Holtz, hot air balloons, happy mail
I: ink, indigo, iconic style
J: journals, journal supplies, junk journals, joy
K: kites, kindness
L: letter writing, love, ledgers, library, lady bugs, lemons, limes, Ladies Who Lunch
M: marine life, music, maps (especially vintage and map postcards), mixed media art, mail, museums, mindfulness
N: nautical, nature
O: ocean, origami
P: painting, postcards, paper (especially vintage), patterns, peace, plants, pen pals, preppy, plaid, photos, postage stamps (especially vintage and foreign)
Q: quartz (images/stickers)
R: rainbows, retro, recycling, rain, ribbon (vintage or retro), reading, randomness
S: stationery, scrapbooking, sobriety, sea, ships, sailboats, stickers (not puffy or child-themed/reward), sunshine, the Sketchbook Project, stamps (ink and postage)
T: travel, trees, tulips, typewriters, teal
U: unique items, umbrellas, unplugged
V: vintage, Van Gogh, vellum paper, vellum bags, vibes (positive, good, healing)
W: weather, watercolor, water, washi, windmills
X:
Y: yellow
Z: zen, zines
The only thing I ask not to be sent is anything related to alcohol (sober over 4 years!) like wine and alcohol memes, labels, etc. Thank you!
I will not use samples of food, lotions, makeup or drinks. I do not pass these on either.
Everything else is fine. If I don't like it or it's not my style, I'll just pass it on. No worries!
For every swap I send, please feel free to message me or keep my address and write back. I am always looking for new pen pals and people to swap with.
NOTE: I recycle as much as I can, especially envelopes, note cards, unique images on envelopes, cool stamps, etc.
Send Me Your Art! I love receiving and displaying things you made. I will always prefer handmade.
