And I'm telling you that you're gonna need a raincoat.
I just discovered this. Which is a coincidence, as I was just discussing cultural swaps with someone earlier. I am hoping to make a cultural swap soon.
Things I can offer to potential swapees:
- Knitted things
- Small, strange looking things made of felt
- Scottish things
- British candy/sweets
- Monkey related items
- Paper things - stationery, stickers
- British magazines
- Craft supplies - yarn, beads, fabric
- Funky stuff
- Words of (faux) wisdom
Things I'd like to receive
- Yarn
- Monkey things
- Sock monkey related items
- Beads
- Fabric
- Savoury snacks/candy
- Green apple flavour Extra chewing gum
- Things from Old Navy
- stationery
- Japanese cuteness
- Japanese childrens reading books/school books
I am a crafter, so crafty things are always a winner for me. I am a big fan of all things Japanese and cute and am currently (trying to) learn to speak Japanese. Oh, and candy of course. Oh, and I don't have my ears pierced, so no earrings!
Holding down a full time job and running my own business means I don't have the time to go hunting round Top Shop - that's what Ebay's for people! If there is a thing you specifically want, then I will try and get it, but I'm afraid I can't accommodate specific but vague demands - e.g. one brass rubbing of a shire horse with a green frame. :)

I am also a fan of vintage stuff, accessories, tees, bags etc, i collect and use them. =) In exchange, i would love to get some English stuff (teas, recipes or food), especially candy, vintage anything, cute tees,cute fabric, nice postcards/photographs and cute stationery. oh ya, i love handmade stuff too, maybe a knitted scarf, something small and interesting made of felt =) or an interesting handbag. anything cute and nice from the UK that i can't here in sunny Singapore would do. =) Do visit my site, www.salvagesistas.blogspot.com or email me at sheanerd@gmail.com Hope to hear from you soon. =p Tell me what else you'd like and i see if i can get them as well. I also wouldn't mind giving a little something extra in the package, no charge whatsoever, just for my swap pal. =) i like surprises and usually package my items in an unusual way so as to surprise my swap pal.
cheers,

Hi, I'd love to swap with you! You said you'd like to swap with me (I live in Thailand). I agree about the not-having-shopping-lists-for-people thing! I hadn't thought of it as boldly as that - but it makes bloody good sense to make it clear from the start, eh?
So, yessss - i would love anything from LUSH (not that that is a shopping list)! I just miss that loverly smell in my bathroom, when you have a couple of bath ballistics in there and they scent the air. i have no bath here, though, so ballistics are of no use (I wish I could request a Fairy Jasmine :0( !!). i'd love anything else.
Is there anything you remember from Thailand that you'd love? I do have one thing I can deffo send you - I've just spent 4 days in Chiang Mai, and the Sunday night market here is just out of this world! The most jaw-droppingly gorgeous stuff for sale - so cheap! And you get to support local trades/craftspeople. It's shopping heaven.
So, let's get swapping! I'm on a bit of a budget here, so I'm looking to send small-but-perfectly-formed packages with fab, little things inside. I'll be trying to send lots of small, inexpensive items, but with a dollop of funkiness.
What music do you like?
Fun! xx
Hey! Cake & Pie, 2 of my most favourite things! That sounds cool - and I would also relish the chance for a trip to Lush, as it is such a fab shop! Are you from Bath originally, did I read correctly?
Can you please email me at mrspiquante@gmail.com or send me your email address so I can send you some more details?
Thanks
Claire :)
