About Me

I enjoy connecting to people around the globe through the postal system and mail art. I collect postage stamps, bus and train tickets, and other ephemeral bits of everyday life.

I should spend more time outside, so I'm off to swim, or just float and watch the clouds. (gif by L. Boglio)

Favorite Music

Some favorite artists: Miriam Makeba, Keith Jarrett, Chopin, Dave Brubeck Thank You, Bill Evans, Chet Baker, Bach, Baguette Quartette, Rupa and the April Fishes, Beethoven, Tango No. 9, Vince Guaraldi, Andres Segovia, Allman Brothers, Camille, Sanjay Divecha, Lyle Lovett, Decemberists, Carolina Chocolate Drops

Some things I like

The circus, magic, and parades; Carnival; gypsy/bohemian style and steampunk; Commedia dell'arte; court jesters; Cirque du Soleil; Pierrot and Pierette; Totoro; the Ministry of Silly Walks; old ledger pages; kraft and handmade paper; Instax, logarithmic spirals; travel, maps, and aerogrammes; line engraved postage stamps and woodcuts; galaxies and gardens; linen; zines; typewriters and writing letters, typography and the end pages of books where they explain the typeface; playing piano and accordions; the smells of gasoline, saw dust, fiberglass resin, gardenias, sweet peas, and honeysuckle. Plague Doctors. Coffee and collage. Choco Tacos and It's It. A bookworm, I enjoy literary fiction, sci fi, historical fiction, history, and I'm exploring poetry.

Comment: Thank you so much for the cool postcard and stamps! I have listened to the radio show for War of the Worlds (my teacher played it without intro in 8th grade and it was pretty scary - they played up that it was just news and we were young enough to believe it!), but not read the book. Hope you're having a lovely week!

Comment: Wow!! This got here lighting fast!! My aunty mailed something to me around the same time from Alberta (the province beside mine) and I’m still waiting for it to arrive πŸ™ƒ the mail system is an unpredictable adventure. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS! How unique! I feel beyond spoiled with double postcards and bonus stamps on a postcard swap!?! Mind blown 🀯 (The cancer crab stamp with foil constellation!!! πŸ’•πŸ¦€πŸ₯°πŸ’•) When I received it, I wasn’t 100% sure, and then I spotted the helpful note down the centre β€œHello, open the tape!” And it was game on from there πŸ˜„ The edge tapes held up amazing, and the three washi sides peeled off clean and without damage!! The 1 scotch tape side started to lift bits so I pushed it back down and just cut the that side apart. The postcards are perfect for me 😎 So much happy 😊 thank-you πŸ’•

Comment: What a wonderful carving! I love it! Marbles likes to climb behind things as well but she's most happy curled up on one of my office chairs. She's a bit of a lazy office manager! LOL

OMGosh I love your Pomegranate Post zine with the mix of handcarved stamps and postage stamps. Impressive work and such a lovely thank you gift. The envelope is well done too.

I quite enjoyed hosting the HCSI MAJ swaps.

I will continue to host the Stamp & Pass swaps to continue the collective fun, but in a smaller format.

Thank you for finishing my HCSI MAJ deco and mailing it back to me. You were so generous to to send a print (on handmade paper) of the whole stamp you used for your page and the postage stamps that inspired it. Beautiful work! P.S. I also really like the envelope.
