Used stamps exchanges.

Hello! I am in my 30s, married, and have a 9-year-old son. He goes to a city public school and I volunteer there for various Parent Teacher Association events and also manage the school's garden. I am an artist, but not a professional one. My main interests/activities aside from art and gardening are reading, cooking/baking, playing board games, walking/running, and adding to my collections. I collect, but also sometimes use in my art: used stamps, postcards, vintage playing cards, and other vintage things made of paper. Climbing and camping are also fun, but I don't have the opportunity to go often. I also like traveling and exploring new places, but not the actual act of getting there. So far I have been to Canada, Mexico, Spain, Monaco, Italy, Vatican City, and Vietnam. Someday I hope to visit London and Paris.

I started collecting stamps in elementary school, mostly just saving them from mail. Since then I have been collecting on and off. Until recently the last time I was actively adding to my collection aside from saving stamps from envelopes was around 2011. In general I prefer more recent (2000 and later), colorful stamps to older ones. *If possible please do not send me stamps that feature a specific person because I most likely have no idea who s/he is and don't care for them. Also no damaged stamps please.* You are welcome to send me stamps that are still on paper if you want, as well as CTO and definitives if they match any of the topics I like:

- fruits, vegetables, sweets and baked goods, food in general
- owls, hedgehogs, chipmunks, squirrels, foxes, other woodland animals
- cats
- wild animals and dinosaurs
- botanical and gardening: flowers, plants, trees, seeds, etc.
- planets, constellations, galaxies
- mail-related (mailbox, envelopes, etc.)
- odd shapes (not rectangular or square)
- hearts
- minerals/gems
- Harry Potter, fantasy themes, fairy tales, fables, children's stories
- libraries, books/reading
- Chinese zodiac (especially rat)
- Western zodiac (especially Sagittarius)
- maps
- balloons and bubbles
- well-known works of art
- bicycles and buses
- vintage/outdated items: e.g. rotary telephone, typewriter
- people dressed in traditional clothing/costumes (prefer illustrations to photos)
- bridges
- chess
- Star Wars, Star Trek, sci-fi themes

I realize this is a long list! *Please do not worry about trying to come up with 25 stamps from my topic wishes; that would be pretty hard to do. If you can find a few stamps matching any of those topics though that would be nice.*

Thank you very much!
