obsequies

I'm Ash...

Odd duck. Unsocial. I am basically obsessed with pumpkins, and am planning my (quite large) pumpkin patch for next year ^.^ Nothing is more satisfying than growing your own food and, most importantly, pumpkins!

ALLERGIES! I have severe peanut/nut allergies! So please be careful what you send. This goes for food items as well as many cosmetics and lotions! Please under no circumstances send me food or cosmetic products that do not have a list of ingredients to check! Anything without an ingredient list for me to verify that it is safe will be thrown away, and I hate to do that.

...In no particular order...

• Halloween (prefer antique, whimsical, or cute over cheesy horror sorts)
• Pumpkins
• Candy Corn
• Sunflowers, Daisies
• Socks! (especially stripes & prints)
• Vintage Food Packaging (namely cakes, pumpkin, spices)
• Classic Monsters (Frankenstein, Dracula, etc.)

A few relevant things I would prefer you not send would include...

• Religious Items!
• Anything with peanuts/nuts (allergies)
• Food items with no ingredient list
• Stuffed Animals..have too many
• ATCs (I don't collect them)
• Loose kawaii papers and bits
• I love scrapbooking supplies, however I have so much at this point and am very behind on my scrapbooking. It's fine to send some, but please don't make it the main item.
• umm...

I'm open to private swaps if I'm able to.

There are a few things I really look out for...

• Pumpkin seed packets, vintage mostly but also new packets with interesting photos/graphics
• Pumpkin/Pumpkin Pie Can Labels (not print outs) for a cute kitchen art idea I had..
• Old Halloween plastic items, candy containers, etc.
• Old Halloween/fall/pumpkin ephemera, die cuts, etc.
• Shop Bought Halloween Postcards
• Halloween themed kitchen items
• A 'Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Tea tin...just the tin. Adorable. We don't have Trader Joe's here, otherwise I'd stock up =P
• Halloween plastic "blowmolds" (old or new, makes no difference) as they are rather difficult to find here. Also love other Halloween light up decorations, I adore decorating for that spooky holiday!
• Halloween, Halloween, Halloween!

Anything from my likes list is awesome. If you think you have something to swap in exchange for something I might be able to get up here in Canada, please do let me know, I'll see what I can do :)

I rate within a day of receiving each swap in the mail, and appreciate when others rate promptly as well. I get nervous when others do not rate as I worry that they haven't received or it has gotten lost. Timely ratings are appreciated.

If for any reason you have any problems, please PM me and it will be worked out. I ALWAYS send out my swaps, so if something hasn't gotten to you it's because of the postal system. Message me and I will re-send. Thanks!
