If you like to collect postcards come join the group: Postcard Hideout and if you like map postcards come join the group: Map Card Lovers

I'm also looking for foreign banknotes, foreign coins, US National Parks quarters and US State quarters. Pressed pennies, too. Willing to do private swaps for these. Let me know what you would like in exchange for them. If you collect come join the group: Coin Hideout

If you receive a letter from Canada & the stamps on the outside are unmarked, I would love them.

I also collect used worldwide stamps, coins, bank notes, playing card jokers, & my daughter is a collector of Ty beanie babies, pez dispensers and pokemon cards.

My husband loves lawn tractor & tractor items such as posters, magazines, books, pins, John Deere collector cards, toys... anything tractors.

I am also a member of postcrossing.

I love all species of birds but my favorite is the owl.

Handmade return address labels made for me are always needed and welcome.

I am also looking for sticker sheets for children (girl 3-6 years old),pokemon cards or hockey cards (single or in a package).

If you don't get my item and it says it's been sent please contact me! I have had items go missing in the mail, I will always send every swap I join. If you haven't received anything from me, let me know, I can send it again.
