| Linda, I am so happy you enjoyed your spring themed box! The dish towel is a basic white that is sold at Williams-Sonoma in a pack. I love their towels because they are very absorbent and wash and wear well. I purchase them as a pack , when they go on sale , and then use them as my blank slate for decorating a dish towel however the theme. The more you wash and dry them, the softer they will become. Enjoy! |

well, I wrote a post and shared a picture and poof it was gone! So, I will try again.
Connie I received your amazing box full of lovelies! Here is the picture of what I received. Some awesome stuff in there. For one she found a Peter Rabbit to add to my collection! I was so surprised as they aren't easy for me to find. She sent the cutest little lambs and a pretty little crystal blue bird as well as a sweet white rabbit. I love everything. A bright yellow spoon to brighten my kitchen as well as a neat vegetable peeler. There are morning glory and moon flower seeds. How beautiful they will be when they come up. Can't wait to get them in the ground. She also sent some cute little glittered paper eggs and oh my the sweet little wheel barrel with carrots in it. It is a card holder too. And she sent some pretty yellow fat quarters to brighten up my next project as well as 6 eggs in a wooden crate. Also, Some yummy jelly beans that may or may not have been dipped into and therefore not in the picture..jpg?v 97465221) |

Hi Linda, I think your package arrived on Friday, but I have been out of town with my sisters visiting our daughters and families. Got home last night and opened up all my goodies :). Love it all! The apron is sooo pretty, I have never seen one like it before! Love the dish cloth with built in scrubbie heart! The teas, note pad, little flower pot, mug rug (can never have enough of them) the beautiful lime green fat quarter bundle, and butterfly cookie cutter (to add to my collection of cookie cutters - didn't have a butterfly :) ) I will TRY to post a photo, if I can figure it out!
Thanks so much for a wonderful swap!
Hugs, Ruth |

| Ruth - Glad you got the package and like everything. I love that apron pattern; it works up cute and quickly, and I love the 2 large pockets. It is very comfortable, too. You'll have to model it in your picture. LOL! The cloth isn't a mug rug, though it could be, it is a reusable "paper" towel. Marilyn started me on those. It is a 10" square of fabric backed by a 10" square of flannel - stitched pillowcase style around, turned, and then edge stitched and finished with a large "X" from corner to corner. |

| I've heard of those reusable towels. Have wanted to make some but I mostly use paper towels for cleaning up doggie mishaps so I'd have to stick with paper for that. |

Denise, last fall I made some for Bay and her mom. Bay used hers as decorations. She put one on an end table with a scarecrow on it. She used a couple of others the same way. Her mom used them to wash dishes, wipe down counters, the table, etc.
I keep one by my coffee pot to catch my husband's little messes, drips of coffee and sugar. |

| The coffee pot of is a great idea as the maker drips when we take the pot out and we keep paper towel handy for that. |

| Linda, what a wonderful gift...two colorful mason jars, tea,an apron using Mary Janes Farm milk cow fabric, a great kitchen boa with tea towels on each end and an adorable sewing machine pin cushion with a tape measure. Spring has sprung! Thank you to Marilyn who thought I wouldn't get any exchange and sent an adorable scrappy table runner and a microwave bowl caddie. Wow! I am blessed. Happy spring! |

| I received my swap package from Bonnie, too! Thank you so much. I'll post a picture later. It was nice spring napkins, a cute wrist pincushion shaped liike a flower, 3 very cute small bags - one with a felted bird, one with lace trim, and one that says sew and go with a quilt pattern on the other side, and 2 flour sack soft kitchen towels. I love everything. Thank you so much for swapping with me. |
