About Me

Hi, my name is Eleanor.

I have worked in the book business or in publishing for most of my life. My kids are all grown and out of the house, so I am enjoying the free time to focus on mindful journaling, writing, and creativity in general. My husband is a chef, an artist, and an award-winning barbecue pitmaster. On the weekends, we go “thrifting” for art supplies, books, boho odds-and-ends, and vintage items for our outdoor tiki bar.

Favorites

-colors: orchid, lavender, violet, deep pink

-books, reading, libraries

-mindfulness and meditation

-crystals

-afternoon tea

-writing and journaling

-tarot

-Stickii or Pipsticks stickers

-cottagecore

-dopamine decor

-all types of tea except for vanilla flavored and chamomile

-stationery, note cards, postcards, and stickers with magical, book, or tea designs

-decorated envelopes. (I make pockets out of them to glue into my junk journals and I keep the letters or cards in the pockets.)

Books

My favorite genres are classic literature, science-fiction/fantasy, and personal growth/spirituality.

Please Don't Send...

I appreciate each and every envelope I receive! If you are interested in a list of things I would probably not use, here goes: classroom reward stickers, Disney, things with artificial scents/flavors, things that smell of cigarette smoke, free advertising postcards, or religious things unless they are buddhist or pagan in nature (classical art depicting things like angels or madonnas is fine.) I have a great respect for the religious choices of others and desire reciprocity.

Rating

If I find myself in the unfortunate position of sending a swap more than one or two days late, I will notify you. If, due to an unexpected emergency, I am unable to let you know that a swap will be late, I will contact you as soon as possible and send the swap then. I rate upon receipt of a swap and I don’t abuse the rating system. I hope my swap partners extend the same kindness and consideration to me.

Comment: Hi Eleanor! Thank you for the share about what you read last month and for joining the swap! I have not read these authors, so will have to check them out! Your online book club does sound very low-pressure and sometimes that is what we need - a good introduction to other books/authors without the pressure of everyone liked the read but you! LOL! I have been in that spot more than once but hey, we like what we like! LOL! All the best! Hugs, Happy Reading, and Swapping! ;)
Response: You’re very welcome! I do like the low-pressure type of book clubs. Happy reading and swapping to you, too! 💜
