"My Country Doesn't Have That" Round 9

[Dawn Octopus]

Hi I'm Dawn, this will be my second claim. I have sent 1 and received 1.
I live near Boston, USA.

I would like to claim Nirauan for:

some jewelry making materials
a couple soap molds
Maybe a surprise

I would be happy with a package from anywhere but the US

My list:

Kawaii Stationery! I like the kind with the matching envelopes in any cutesy Sax-X or Sanrio type design (tissue-san,nyanko nyanko cat, tare panda, doraemon, etc.)

Kawaii stickers, like "sack o' stickers"

Anything with an octopus or squid on it

craft book (doesn't have to be in English, but should have clear pictures so I can get the idea)

any cutesy/kawaii fabric

Scrapbook stuff not in English

Magazine not in English, any kind

Interesting shaped buttons

Really warm socks

Cute scarf

Bento stuff

Postage stamps with fish or sea creatures on them (used is fine )

Anything Wisty!

Thanks in advance!

[purpleone]

If the swap's stalled I could claim octopusinclothing for cutesy/kawaii fabric, interesting shape buttons and a cute scarf but as I've sent to her before I'm sure she'd prefer someone else! Maybe it's just quiet because of the holidays

[tracytremble]

i wouldnt mind claiming her either.  especially since she really seems to dig on the japanese side of things.  which is very perfect for an american in japan. 

however, i wanted to get lovelygangster's package out first.

 

[Dawn Octopus]

Awww thanks ladies! Whoever wants to claim is fine, I would gladly take another package from you Bea, or Tracy, I don't mind waiting for a package if you can't immediately send out. Whichever!

Thanks again!

[dizzylizzy]

Okay, it's been five days since the list stalled on octopusincclothing, so I'm really feeling the need to step in a bit.

Either she'll have to add more to her list (maybe add some more European friendly things? It seems to be all Asian wants right now) or she'll have to take a partner from the US who has access to the types of things already on her list.

But in case, I'd like to see this swap start moving again. There's less than a week left for claims, folks.

[tracytremble]

ok.  well.  since purple one has already sent one package to octopus, i will officially claim her for anything japanese on her list that i can find.

 

second claim, 0 sent, 0 received

here is my want list:

America:  vanity fair magazine....or any wonderful magazine in english, bust, bitch, venus etc.  also any knitting magazine in english.  they dont have to be new, some from a thrift store is perfectly fine with me!  and some reeses pieces.

Europe:  fashion mags, local yarn, wool, knitting materials, stationary, from England, tea, but not twinnings, because i can get that here, anything moomin, vintage knitting patterns

Australia/New Zealand:  magazines, again, dont have to be new, stationary, knitting patterns (vintage is always great), and knitting supplies, needles, local yarn blend...especially with all those sheep in NZ!  etc. 

South America:  i have no idea what i would want from this region....suprise me!

Hello,
My name is Marissa and I'm from the States (Kentucky to be exact). Unfortunately the best thing we've got here is KY Bourbon, which I can't send. That explains why my list is so long.
I love chocolate and anything lychee, mango, green tea, jack fruit (langka) or peach flavored. I'm very into all different types of religion, spirituality, folklore, and art.
