partial list of swap items i can offer

i will be posting photos as i get a chance, but in case people are interested in things before i get to the photos, just email me! in any case here are some items i have just found ...

1. antique wooden stereopticon with a LOT of cards to look at in it.
   
2. about half(?) of a $25 bag of marimekko remnants. mostly smallish (smaller than 1 foot square) pieces of large prints. mostly earth/dark colors, also ones with a lot of yellow, also a children's print of buses and cars on light blue.
   
3. "bruce stringbean" Springsteen parody toy like the one shown here.
4. old binoculars case out of leather with velvet-ish insides. very sturdy. no strap. could be an alternative case for small dolls such as pukis or other small tinies.
5. elephant motif embroidered backpack purse out of black velvetish material with a lot of large embroideries in bright colors all over it (from India or east Asia)
6. leather handcrafted wallet with a large hand-colored picture of a very detailed bug on the front.
7. oval-ish wooden box purse that looks more vintage than it probably is. decoupaged with some old-looking pictures and varnished. needs the latch repaired if you would be using it as a purse. it could also work as a very sturdy box to keep things in, if you took off the handle.
   

and then some general categories of things i have to swap...

1. quilting tools that were given to me (a triangle measurer + more things i don't understand)
2. probably some vintage-ish patterns, if i can find them.
3. spanish-language & french-language ephemera, especially french tourism brochures, outdated almanacs from mexico, and outdated computer magazines from Spain.
4. other ephemera or papercrafting materials.
   
5. probably some fabric, once i do another sorting out.
   
6. ditto on some clothes that deserve to be reconned but i don't have the skill.
   
7. a lot of international items, sort of tourist souvenirs from many places.
8. a giant roll of large, sturdy mesh. maybe somebody could do huge embroideries on it?
   
9. jewellery-making supplies (some vintage) ... this particular batch is gone but it's a fairly representative sample of stuff i tend to find:
   
   
10. doll parts (mostly barbie size) and clothes. a few BJD items such as eyes, but nothing fancy.
    link to some doll-related items.
    
11. silver and silver-plate serving dishes/etc. ("spare antiques" that were given to me but have no sentimental family value)
    the pics are HERE.
12. INTERNATIONAL SPECIAL: if you don't live in USA, i can send you freezer paper, mod-podge, e6000, etc. in exchange for something from there.
    
13. chachivaches, tchotchkes, knick-knacks, odd bits, etc...
    

preliminary list of what i would like to receive

hmmm
mainly i need to make space... so i would like smaller things in return. but what?

1. sewing supplies, as i am learning to sew.
2. unwanted "loud" fabric scraps (fabrics other than satin, because it's hard to work with)
   i figure i can always find something to do with them
3. doll stuff for vinyl fashion dolls of both 12" and 16" sizes, action figures, and BJDs MSD and smaller.
   (re-ment, cheap eyes, dark or bright mohair or nylon wigs, basic "boring" 1:4 & 1:6 guy clothes, casual women/girl clothes, not looking for anything too fancy)
4. random things with other-language words on them (especially non-european languages) that i could either use or recycle into something cool. (not so much religious ones, because i think recycling religious items gets into a territory of possible disrespect.) (and not so much paper, because i have a lot of that)
   
5. anything i haven't thought of but should have? e-me.
