My Swapping Approach
I rate when I receive and avoid waiting until the last few days to send. Please message me if there are any problems (postage due, damaged mail, possibly lost mail, etc.). I angel all swaps I host. Please donβt send me extras!
Private Swaps
Iβm usually open to private swaps. My Flickr/instagram/etsy shop give a good idea of my art. Iβm open to exchanging recipes, mail art/letters, snacks, or even makeup/skincare.
About Me
I love food, reading, and traveling/road trips. Recommendations are always appreciated. My guilty pleasures include restaurants with tasting menus, kooky tourist traps like the Biggest Ball of Twine (still on my list!), and contemporary rom-com books. If you don't know what to write in a swap, tell me something about your local area! :)
My Goodreads - books I want to read
My Flickr (may have spoilers) - ATCs and some other art
My etsy shop where I sell stickers and ACEOs!
I can always use unused postage. Iβm building a frankendeck so random playing cards are much appreciated, especially if theyβre in a theme I like!
Cards I need:
Spades: 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, K
Hearts: 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, Q, K
Clubs: 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, J, Q, K
Diamonds: all except 3, 6, K
β assorted things I like: architecture and design, aerogrammes/postalettes, blackout poetry, cats, calligraphy, cherry blossoms, cutout images for collages, the Golden Gate Bridge, fairytales, fountain pens, Flow magazine, geocaching, FriXion pens, handmade/unique papers, hand-carving, hot air balloons, illustrations, Japan, landscapes, lighthouses, mail art, Moomin, mountains, mythology (any culture), national parks, outer space, pin-ups, postage stamps, sharks, shiba inu, stickers, typewriters, trains, Japanese/Taiwanese washi, wax seals, watercolor, long staircases, Gelly Roll pens, fashion/couture/streetwear
β I like puns, sarcasm, satire, parody, and sometimes dirty humor.
These are just things I know I like. I love trying new things and supporting small businesses and local brands.
β food/snacks/drinks: aerated chocolate, cookies and cream flavor, chips/crisps, crackers, sour candies, spicy foods, tea (loose leaf preferred), regional snacks, instant noodles; generally salty snacks more than sweet candies
β makeup/skincare: I prefer mini/trial sizes. I like full sizes for sunscreen or Korean skincare brands like cosrx or banila. I use nail polish, colorful/unique eyeshadows, scar-removal products, makeup removers, and skincare products.
β random useful things: double-sided tape, command hooks, books on my to-read list or related to my likes
β If I'm in a swap for naked postcards, I'd love a tourist postcard from your area with a long message! I prefer tourist view cards written and stamped from place of origin (postcards sent on vacation are my favorite).
β Otherwise, I prefer 4" x 6" unwritten/blank postcards sent in an envelope. I like: gotochi, neat postmarks and stamps (on the outside of the envelope), illustrated cards, vintage travel poster, maxi cards
β Specific postcard wishlists/favorites: one and two
β religious sentiments (inspirational quotes welcome, just not bible or faith-based quotes)
β loose sticky notes/page flags
β dystopian novels with romance in them
β cigarette smoke or strong floral scents
β lip gloss
β kids cartoon stickers
Chew (comic book series); Discworld series by Terry Pratchett; books about food, textiles/fashion, or urban planning; favorite manga subgenre: isekai food slice-of-life
I love art and would love to receive anything handmade by you in any art form. Watercolor and letterpress are near and dear to my heart.
