This was my sister's (renren) idea but I'm running with it since I'm all caught up on the other swaps I joined and am ready for a new one! I also have her permission! lol So, here goes!! The inspriation for this swap goes to all the farmgirls out there who like to check out the thrift stores, and if you've read about them, you know, some girls here are finding such nice stuff! So, if you want to join in on this thrift store swap you have till the 31st to sign up, I"ll pair up partners on April 1st! Rules are simple, shop those thrift stores with $5 to find goodies for your partner and once you get a partner email each other to find out what kind of goodies they like. There will be a time limit because the one girl who spends her $5 the most thrifty will also win a prize! So, who's game?

Katelyn, I am soooo sorry to hear that the tiles broke. I guess I am not that good of a packer, but I am glad that one is in tact, and you like the others. I thought the garden tote was just too cute, and I couldn't believe that someone would not use it and just hand it over to a thrift shop.
With the purses that you make, I thought maybe you could make some of them as well......

Okay, I got a photo of the Prize I received today...only I realized I don't know how to post photos, and it is late, and I am a technotard, so I am going to post a link to my webshots album, Mary Janes Farm Fun and you will have to go to page 2, I think and look for Thrift Swap Prizes. Thanks again to Sue! JudyBlueEyes

EmmJay!!!!!! It ARRIVED!!! I Love It All!! Thank you thank you! It actually came night before last, but got stuck at the post office so I had to find a time to go pick it up...
I LOVE the tiles, I am so sad because several of the corners got chipped. But my favorite one is still completely unharmed, the chicken! so cute! And the little gardening tote? it is so adorable. I was just carrying it around the house saying, honey, isn't this just so cute? I actually haven't planted my garden yet but I have to do it this weekend so I will let you know how it goes...
Thank you so much, such a kind heart you have!

My prize arrived! Thanks to Sue! I have a new photo album, a copy of Junker's Magazine (and I left it at home, so don't remember the real name) but it is Sue and Ki - they are famous junkers and there are so many cool ideas in the book, a small Avon cloth doll that was part of the Mother's Day collection - it is the Sister doll - too cute, and an embroidery transfer pattern of fruits - now I have been toying with the idea of doing embroidery, but haven't actually bought any patterns yet - so this is just perfect, and cute! I had to work on my "Fleur Swap" thing last night, but will try to get pics tonight and upload them. I am nowhere near as fast as Nancy Jo! Thanks again, Sue, and all who played! Judy

Well Katelyn...it arrived today....so exciting. I was away for the night and came home to find that the mail man left a box in my mud room, and I quickly brought it inside to open such nice treasures.....
The cups remind me of my grandmother with her tea, and the owl is sitting in my window for now.
I really truly enjoyed the swap and look forward to the next one..

If I garden at all? How did you know Emmjay? Actually this is my first summer with a garden of my own, it's just one 4 x 4 box but I am starting out smaller to learn it a little bit before I jump in head first! I'm so excited, yours hasn't come yet I assume? But hopefully soon!

I certainly will Katelyn, and please do the same,,,,Yours was sent last week, but the girl at the PO was not sure how long it would take to get there.
Here is a hint....if you garden at all, you will love part of it
