I live near the ocean in Australia with my husband and two young adult children. I own a rubber stamp company called Darkroom Door. I've always been interested in photography, journaling, art and snail mail.

I love to travel, see theatre shows, movies, listen to music and see concerts. I enjoy swimming, hiking and exploring new places. I can't walk past a vintage store or thrift shop without going inside. I love old cameras, vintage ephemera, fabrics and books. I journal daily and love notebooks and fountain pens.

When I'm traveling, I always keep a traveler's notebook and fill it full of journaling, photos, sketches and memorabilia from the trip.

Any of these items always make me happy:

• Linocuts, etchings, any kind of printmaking
• Watercolour images
• Black & White Photography (originals or postcards)
• Collage fodder: stamped images, tissue/deli paper, gel prints etc
• Custom address labels or blank label stickers
• old vintage book pages, text pages, dictionary pages, illustrated children book pages, old maps
• Notecards
• Used vintage postage stamps
• Postcards (see below for preferences)
• Zines
• Old cabinet photos, studio portrait photos, Photobooth photos
• Sheet music (any condition, the older the better!)
• Ephemera (old tickets, letters, envelopes etc)
• Stencils
• Anything that can be used in a journal or Traveler's Notebook. (stickers, washi etc)
• Images of trees, flowers & foliage
• Anything to do with mountains & exploring

I prefer postcards to be sent to me naked (unless it's a multiple new postcard swap and they need to be sent together) Otherwise... I love the stamp, address and writing to be all on the postcard itself. :)

Postcards I love:
* Black and white photography (any subject, including your own photos)
* Bicycles
* Cameras or anything to do with photography
* Typewriters, pens, anything to do with letter writing
* Doors
* Windows
* Postboxes & mailboxes
* Mountains
* Snow
* Music - instruments and/or performers
* Art * Letterpress
* Farm or rural life
* Trees and forests

I rate as soon as possible after I receive your swap. If I haven't received a swap, I always send a message first before rating to see what may have happened. If you haven't received one of my swaps, please send me a message before rating. I always send my swaps and I'm happy to re-send if something does go astray.

Happy Swapping!!!
