dump him enamel pin

(can pay in cash, btz, or trades!!) 

do you make zines, know someone who does, or have recommendations for a rad local zinester? if so, i’d love to hear about it!

as of early march, i now curate a BIPOC, queer, disabled, etc. marginalized zinesters’ “shop” (known as “the zine rack”, pictured in the last photo) back in ottawa, where the zine scene has been steadily on life support and is just starting to pick up again. i’m in town till tuesday afternoon, and i’d love to take this opportunity to grab some amazing local zines to share with folks back home!

(full disclaimer — i happily pay full price for the zines i stock, and occasionally list the cost with an additional 25 (max 50) cents to cover the costs of cellophane sleeves, labels, and my bus rides back and from the venue. 

i prioritize zines under $10 to keep my super low income ass from maxing out my credit card and to keep prices relatively accessible, but i’m happy to hear about your work regardless of thr cost!)

ISO zines!

hey, you! want to own the original~ I WANT TO LEAVE 100% embroidered, 3” in diameter, iron-on patch from the original maker & seller? well, you’re in luck, ‘cause i’m bringing my butt to toronto for one week and have a few goodies from my shop* (mainly stickers, but also a couple totes, and these dope boys!) with me!

i sell them for $8 at IRL at markets/in stores,
but i accept btz and true trades :)

Looking for a cute backpack in decent shape & in similar colours as above. Prefer medium sized, but I’m flexible.

(Just not interested in sporty/traditionally masculine backpacks.)

Also looking for a crossbody, bonus points for satchel.

Name your trade, even if you don’t see anything you like on my profile!

(Preferably not gift cards, because if I had money to buy them, I would just go out and buy a backpack 😉😉😉

But hey, if I really love your backpack, I might change my mind)

ISO backpack

i got 20 of these made, all ✨locally✨, and the high quality ink + printing process means these babies are machine washable and crack-resistant 💪

they are admittedly very lightweight for totes and even kind of see-through, but they’re good quality (and super cute, not to toot my own horn...)

asking 2000 btz (flexible!!) $20 trade value

🔪 tote bags 💅

“A structured faux leather crossbody bag featuring a heart construction, front and back chevron seams, zip top, and a high-polish curb chain shoulder strap.”

has seen only one low-key night out, so practically good as new! unfortunately, i always leave the house with too much stuff, so i prefer totes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Shell: 100% polyurethane. 
Lining: 100% polyester. 
Height: 6.75". Width: 7.25". Depth: 2.4".

heart-shaped purse

board & planchette are in excellent shape, but the box is showing a bit of its age. still intact, though!

the board itself is not made like most board games today, but is actually a solid wood-ish guy you could hit a spirit* over the head with and do a bit of damage (...if they had flesh vessels).

sells for a pretty decent price online, but who would even willingly want to deal with the post office in their spare time?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

(not hung up on trade value or btz for this item, honestly try me!!)

60’s vintage ouija board

got these PLAIN POCKET-SIZED MOLESKINE CAHIERS in packs of 3 a while back to draw designs on the covers and sell them in my shop, but i never got around to doing these (...aaand judging by my energy and motivation levels past year, i probably won’t)

the red one does have water damage, but it’s only visible on the first three pages, and i can strategically remove them for you if you aren’t about that trash art-sthetic. 

deets:

“The Moleskine Cahiers are journals with a flexible heavy-duty cardboard cover in buff with visible stitching on the spine. The last 16 sheets are detachable and there is a pocket for loose notes. Each set of 3 pieces includes the Moleskine history. With acid free paper plain pages.

Size: 3.5 x 5.5 inches (9 x 14 cm) 
Pages: 64”

4 moleskines

ISO hand-held vaccum

about the size of a regular poster (20 x 28”, more or less?), but see second picture for scale 

i had grand ideas for this but i bought it like five years ago

(there’s some damage on the top corners, which is a little noticeable in the last pic)

not looking for much, really.

woods-y poster/wrap paper

I love this sponge-y gem, but I haven’t hung it up since 2016. Promise to give it a good home??

✨EDITED TO ADD✨

I’m getting A LOT of many messages about this and the other Cavallini posters, so I thought I’d mention that they were purchased at PAPER PAPIER (corner of Clarence & Sussex) for $6.50–7 each.

I can’t guarantee they will all be in stock (or the same price) because there are many different Cavallini posters in existence and new designs being released annually, but the store does usually has a pretty decent selection; I’ve (almost) always found the ones I wanted, even if I had to come back a few times for it.

Seeing as this is a relatively accessible item, I’m prioritizing this trade for low-income folks who struggle to afford even inexpensive luxuries. Thank you for understanding!!)

Product info: 

“These beautiful papers are perfect for framing or hanging, and can be used for gift-wrapping, bookbinding, decoupage or any other craft project you can dream up.

Just the poster is included. It is rolled up and might have bends (like, in the corners, idk), buuut they also usually come not perfectly pristine to begin with because of how they’re displayed in stores. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cavallini’s mineralogie (20x28”)

A brand new, never used (except for these photos) soft shell iPhone case with an iridescent design, but looks orange-pink or blue depending where the light hits. 

Was looking for something a bit different, but am really not feeling having to return it via shipping (which I’d have to pay for) or going all the way to Rideau and wait in line for a $10 store credit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

iridescent iPhone 6/7/8 case

good working condition. it came with two, but i want one to go to someone who needs it!!

will be a little pickier with this trade, and would prefer to trade for one item of similar value ($30-40) rather than multiple small items that add up to said value — you know?

(not looking for BTZ for this particular item, sorry.)

happy light

Not super picky, but ideally sturdy and professional, but I’ve always used a DIY guy... so, you know, whatever. Just don’t have time to fix/build a new one.

I have far more things than I have posted on here (three cheers for always holding on to everything ~just in case~ and chronic fatigue/poor time management!!), so name your ideal trade(s) and I can probably help out. 🙂

✨

Just the pink one remains

Framed, not framed, doesn’t matter. Just want it tall and wide!

Name your trade, I’m trying to get rid of most of my possessions. :)

I’ve been making and selling these in my online shop and at art markets I’m a vendor at for over 4 years now, and I never want to make another button ever again. unfortunately, I reeeally overdid it with printing, and I have far too many designs left (several thousands, I shit you not) to justify getting rid of my button maker quite yet.

The photos I’ve included here are part of my “50%-ish off old/discontinued designs” listing on my Etsy, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Feel free to check out the rest here...

I’m posting these here so that you can ask ask me to include buttons in any future trades if the value doesn’t quite match up on my end. They go for $1-2 on average, but I’m flexible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

(I’m also happy to trade on their own, obviously!)

1” buttons - thousands of ‘em!

Wood, stone (opalite, jade, black onyx, and malachite), glass, etc., in gauge sizes range from 1” (25mm) to 8g (3.2mm). 

(See pictures for full description)

Most stone and wood plugs were purchased locally at a pretty hefty price, but I’m not looking for much at ALL for the malachite, misc. pile, and acrylics**!

Not all have been worn, but all have been washed and sanitized just in case!

Note: 

- 2g and 1/2” jade (round) and 00g acrlyic plugs are single flare, but the rest are double! Unfortunately, I lost the o-rings for the 2g jade plugs, but they can be purchased in some stores/online for less than a dollar.

- Bunz cuts off the text in the third photo — they’re all singles!!



The benefit wearing natural stone or wood jewellery is that it’s much healthier for your ears (presuming you stretched in a healthy way & at a slow pace!) than metal, acrylic, or silicone, so there isn’t really that much upkeep/to do. 

As someone who used to work in body jewellery and piercing care, I noticed a distinct difference between my ears (I mainly wore wood, but sometimes wore stone during outings/special occasions, but I always removed them during showers and while I slept — except when I was going up a size, which I did with bondage tape, one layer at a time/at a very slow pace — and frequently gently massaged my lobes with jojoba oil) and the ears my customers’ — not to judge or sound mean, but my co-workers and I learned to instinctively hold our breaths when a customer would remove their ear jewellery (almost always acrylic, silicone, or metal), which were typically covered in what we referred to as “ear cheese.” This is a problem that went away as soon as I started wearing natural, even when I got a little lazy in my Extra AF™ earlobe-care routine. Can’t recommend them enough!!

** Also, I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone stretches their ears with acrylic tapers/stretchers (I mean, no tapers are particularly good for your ears, but ESPECIALLY acrylic!), or wear them long term (again, removing your jewellery regularly is recommended, but wearing tapers regularly is not).

All that aside, I’m pro-bodily autonomy, so... your body, your choice.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plugs, tunnels, expanders in multiple sizes

Can take all or just some, whichever you prefer.
