Dream Job: Owner of Stationery Store specializing in Artisan Paper Goods.
I am interested in swaps that are artistic in nature. Items that deal with architecture, art, paper transformations, postage stamps, typography, etc.
My style is less scrap bookish and more stylized with clean lines. I love artist books or letters that make you re-think the idea of a book or letter.
I have a healthy sense of humor; however, please avoid rude or vulgar images/text that may be found offensive.
Handmade Zines and Journals
Books about Architecture, Travel, Art, Paper Crafts
Magazines of all kind - Paper Runway and Anthology are two of my most recent finds.

All things "Cute" or "Country" - including Cute or Country spelled with a "K"
Unicorns - Sorry, but they creep me out.

Hearts - Fine for Valentine's Day, but a little too "Cute" for everyday.
Fairies - Too "Cute," Gnomes are the other hand are just odd enough to be cool.
Japanese Animation - Sorry, I don't get it!
Altered Objects/Images that are dark, violent, or vulgar in nature. Architects are dark enough. Please don't drag me down that path any farther.
