Hi from Nova Scotia, Canada!

I’m excited to learn about swap-bot. I love sending and receiving things in the mail, learning about other people and places, and getting inspiration and creativity flowing!

I live in a very small town with my spouse and teenager. I love being outdoors, making things, and traveling.

I spend my time hiking, biking, trail running, reading, embroidering. I love movies and series. I’m always up for an adventure, but also love cozy days with a cup of tea. Oh yeah, and I love to eat!

I love things that are simple, minimalist, and natural… or over-the-top, neon, ridiculous. And I guess things that are in between- lush, jewel tones, rich fabrics.

FAVOURITE THINGS:

Oddities/curiosities (think Atlas Obscura), Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Punk, vintage, 1920s-1990s, Gen X era pop culture, pen and ink drawings, line drawing, illustration, art or craft from your heritage/culture, natural fibres, printmaking, etching, fibre art, surface design, beeswax, anything from nature (leaves, seeds, sand, pebbles, favourite things where you live), strange things you’ve found on a walk, anything related to animals, vintage fabrics, old labels, vintage graphic design, old sewing notions, Food themes (any desserts, especially chocolate things, beautifully decorated cakes etc; food from your region or culture; fruits, vegetables; teas; wild herbs)

something that catches your eye or is meaningful to you; something that gives you a feeling of awe or wonder; something you are grateful for, makes you amazed, makes you feel happy and alive :)

Looking forward to connecting and swapping!
