Hello! I'm a born and raised Cincinnatian. I live here with my husband and 2 year old daughter. I was a bookseller for many years, but now work as a freelance genealogist. I research family trees as well as the “genealogy” of land and houses. I love the stories old houses have to tell.

I also enjoy reading, crocheting, and metal detecting. It is amazing what is "sleeping" in your front yard's dirt.

Please tell me about your day, your town, or whatever strikes your fancy. Write a simple sentence or greeting in your native language if it isn't English. If you are a reader tell me about your favorite book or local bookshop. If you live in an historic house or village I’d love to hear about it.

I came across this website from a stamping forum. I consolidated my great uncle’s collection during lockdown and caught the philately bug. When I started ordering stamps of my own I realized my favorite part had become connecting with friendly dealers and the pleasant surprise of an order’s arrival. It really brightened my day. I’m excited to make new connections and hope by sendIng a note a stranger’s day gets a bit better.
