I like both sweet and salty treats, chocolate and pecans are two of my favorite things, alone or together. I also love trying new exotic foods/candies of any kind so bring on the salty licorice!
I like black and burgundy reds, mostly earthy colors in a subdued palette, and grey blues. I do not like pinks for the most part, or 'neon' bright colors. I prefer natural fibers.
My swap partner should know I am brave, adventurous, curious, creative, and determined! So send things that you love and want to share, because I am always willing to try something different.
