About Me

Hi! I'm Bri, from a teeny town in North Carolina. Just a few hours west and I'm in the mountains, and a few hours east and I'm at the beach. I live with my husband (we met on a blind date) and my adorable Jack Russell/Dachshund pup named Tucker. We are happliy child-free, and enjoying it by adventuring to somewhere usually every weekend.

I have a growing collection of carnivorous plants that I adore. I have one mammoth of a pitcher plant that recently reached over 6 foot long! She stopped growing, so I had to give her a haircut and now she's thriving with pitchers as big as my hand. I also have sundews and venus fly traps. 🌱

I'd give a big toe to live in Halloweentown. Give me crunchy leaves, a crisp breeze, and some gloomy skies and I'll be a happy lil camper forever.

I work in industrial sales, so I am at different buildings and on different roofs nearly every day. It's pretty neat to see cities from sometimes 10+ stories up! And it's even neater to see "behind the scenes" at some of the biggest companies around. So if you ever get a random photo of a skyline from me, just know that it's probably taken from one of my customer's rooftops =)

Some things I love:

✿ stationery - particuarly fountain pens and inks, but I obsess about it all =)

✿ reading - horror, fantasy, and romance in that order

✿ motorcycles - my Yamaha MT07 is my baby

✿ nature - hiking, kayaking, and birdwatching

✿ travel - I love collecting little things from other places (and the stories that are attached them)

✿ learning - particularly about different spiritual practices, religions, & cultures

✿ bookbinding - I'm a newbie at it but it's so fun to make your own journals!

✿ pottery - not making it, just admiring it

Favorite Books

Blood Over Bright Haven, Red White & Royal Blue, First Time Caller, None Left to Tell, One Dark Window, Bloom, Legendborn series, American Rapture, The Road

I love a gloomy, sad read. Lately, I've been into apocalyptic horrors. But on the flipside, I love a good hockey or office romance too!

Things I love

After 3 decades of half-finishing notebooks left and right, I've now finished my first journal front to back! I'm still trying to find my personal style when journaling, so I would absolutely love to see some of your favorite journal additions!

Things that I love:

  • fountain pens / inks
  • ink swatches
  • anything with gold foil
  • stickers of any kind
  • washi tapes
  • washi papers! 😍
  • letter sets
  • rubber stamps / stamp impressions
  • wax seals
  • used postage stamps
  • anything nature themed
  • anything mythical / witchy
  • tiny art
  • plants
  • annotated books
  • things that pertain to planes, sky, or space
  • houses / buildings ephemera
  • fun sticky notes
  • something that brings you joy

Things I don't enjoy

There are a few things that really just aren't my cup of tea. If possible, please refrain from sending:

  • kawaii items
  • scented items
  • anything with gore/skeletons/blood
  • food/candy
  • baby/children ephemera
  • loose or transferrable glitter

Comment: I received your nice letter today. It was so fun learning more about you and your adventures. Motorcycle and trip to Iceland, So descriptive. I feel like I was there. You have beautiful handwriting by the way. Blessings. Question.. you said you met me at the mailbox. Does that mean you received something from me?. I'm still new so I'm not sure how you were able to know about my knee surgery. Just curious. I may surprise you and write again. 😉
Response: Hi there! I am so so glad you enjoyed the letter! "Meet you at the mailbox" is just a fun way of saying I'm happy to get to know you through letters. =) And I read your swapbot profile before writing to you, which is where I learned about your knee replacement. Reading someone's profile likes/dislikes helps me make the swap more fun and tailored for the recipient. Next time you have a swap to send out, click the username next to their mailing address. You'll be able to read a bit about them! And yes, I looove snail mail/pen pals so feel free to write back if you'd like! It would make my day =) Happy swapping!

Comment: Thanks for your lovely map card for the Outer Banks area, it looks so lovely! Your mini vacation sounds perfect, despite a bit of rain. I hope you got a lot of good books :) What fun, it must be interesting to explore this area, the long island looks so thin, it's quite amazing!

Comment: So very nice to meet you at my mailbox. Thank you for a very nice letter, a note card, recipe labels (yes perfect for address labels) and stickers. Your little glassine envelope you made was perfect for your first try. Nice going! You asked if I have met anyone here. Yes, I have met several in person. And hope to meet up with some others. My favorite swaps are the christmas ones and gifts. I use Amazon to purchase and send so that cuts down on shipping fees. Hopefully you can come to find your mailbox FULL of happiness and you can continue with swap-bot. My most memorable swap was, someone made me a tiny "mouse house" all decorated out, for a christmas present. The artwork of some swappers amaze me. Thank you for such a great swap and may we meet up again at the mailbox. Happy Swapping!
