Hi there barter buddies!
I am cleaning out some closets and would like to find a good home for several sets of placemats and napkins. Each is a set of 4 placemats and 4 matching napkins. Some have 2 matching teatowels and 2 dishcloths. I have a family member in the linens business and have been the recipient of several sets over the years. Most have never been used, or used just once for appearance's sake. There are 5-6 sets of assorted floral or madras plaid designs. If anyone is interested, let me know. I would be interested in cookbooks, teacups (yes I am in that forum!) and teapots,any sort of kitchen gadgets/appliances, bowls, Pampered Chef wares or Tupperware stuff.
Happy June, everyone.

I still have several sets of placemats and napkins to discard and I'm filling some boxes with things to donate to GoodWill at the end of this month. Please take a look at the pictures with earlier posts in this thread and let me know if you like anything...I am willing to trade for cups and saucers or cookbooks, gardening books, organization books, etc.

Lynda - what sweet thoughts you've offered up in your last post. I suppose that the MJF Farm Fair is the closest we can get to having many, many FarmGirls together at the same time, but I also like reading about the chapters and the individual get-togethers between Farmgirls. It would be awesome to meet some of you ladies in person someday.

Amen, to that. I'm glad to have you as a neighbor. Where I live is in a neighborhood. When I moved there 10 years ago, I was so looking forward to having neighbors and chatting across the fence, inviting each other over, etc. Would you believe that in these past 10 years the closest we've come to being neighbors is a friendly wave from only 2 of the 4 who live around us. I should be truly honest, the neighbors behind us have been the most "neighborly." It was a very kind old lady by herself and occassionally I would go over and have tea with her or take her something baked and she would come to the back fence to ask for help every once in a while. Then I took on a third job and I wasn't able to do that for quite a while. Fast-forward, she moved into a nursing home and her granddaughter moved into the house and recently go married. So we have a very young couple living behind us now and we have helped them with a couple of things, talked with them and given them our house number if they ever needed anything. So there is hope for enjoying our backyard friends.
But all that to say, in just a year (I think it was my "anniversary" just a couple of days ago - time flies fast when you are having fun!) of being a part of the Farmgirl forum I have found closer neighbors and friends than in 10 years of actually living in a neighborhood. So thank you for sharing and being so generous, too. I like having you for my neighbor and if you ever needed a cup of sugar and there was a way to send in a timely manner, I would do it in a heartbeat. And as I do to all my Farmgirl Friends, if you ever find that you are going to be coming through St. Louis, please give me a call and I'll give you a place to take a break or stay, whatever the case may be. We are not big on traveling ourselves, but I love to accomodate those that do.
Take care and God bless you with the steadfastness of His love.
In His hands,
Lynda L.
Pray in faith and you will not live in doubt.

Lynda, you are so right and I am copying exactly what you wrote because I think it is beautiful:
"What a privilege to be able to trust and know enough about each other's character that not a second thought is given to trading things around. I'm thinking that this is just how it would be if we all lived close to each other."
How nice to live in this Farmgirl Neighborhood!
It's amazing to me as well, that the items I don't have a use for can make someone else happy, and that I get to trade them for things that make ME happy! Joyfully,

Hi, Jo,
I'm so glad that you liked the assortment of Pampered Chef items and the sunflower mug. It was fun to put together. This swapping between each other is really alot of fun. I was telling someone about it the other day and the lovely set of linens you sent to me. First of all, they were so shocked at what all you sent and then they thought it was really neat that we could do this without any strings attached. And I have to agree. What a privilege to be able to trust and know enough about each other's character that not a second thought is given to trading things around. I'm thinking that this is just how it would be if we all lived close to each other.
Take care and have a wonderful day. Blessings to you in all that you do.
In His hands,
Lynda L.

Thanks Jo! I'll be sending out your cookbook in a couple of days. I think once people quit posting to this thread it will go further down in the posts. Don't worry about it, someone might come along a little later and be interested in some of the items left.
Thanks again!!! :)

Katee, your package is in the mail today.
Is anyyone else interested in the remaining sets of placemats and napkins?
Is there a set time that I need to remove them from the forum or will the post just go into the archives at some point?

Lynda -your package is in the mail, so you should have the blue/tan madras set of linens next week. Enjoy!

Sure, Lynda ... I will email you through your MJF profile with my address and you can do the same, or reply to my email directly. I'll take the blue/tan madras set off the available list.
Thanks, and I will be looking forward to my Pampered Chef goodies!

Hi, Jo,
Sorry it has taken me a bit to get back to you. I'm thinking I would get more use out of the blue/tan madras set since most of my house is blue. I change my dining room decor quite often and this set would tone it down a bit and help give it a more cozy look. You have quite a collection of linens.
I guess the next part is figuring out how we make the exchange. Are you able to send me your address through email so I can send you some Pampered Chef through US mail? This is so much fun to do, I love trading things out. Thanks for offering to do so.
Blessings on your day.
In His hands,
Lynda L.

Hi Katee. I will send you an email so we can exchange addresses and work out a good trade. I like cookbooks in this order: Italian/southern/crockpot/grill/Chinese/Thai/cookies/chocolate/waffle or pancake...or let me know which of your books you are willing to part with. Glad you like the Chinese floral set; it was a wedding gift from a Chinese friend but in all the houses we've lived in, I have never had the right color scheme to use it. Hope you will enjoy it, and I will take it off the "available" list.

Jo, I only use black as an accent, I'm not really feeling the black towels. BUT...the Chinese floral set is gorgeous and I could definitely see myself using it! (I think I have the perfect table for it too.) What kind of cooking are you interested in? I have several cookbooks I never use.
Katee
The end will justify the pain it took to get us here.

Last set that I have up for barter;
4 blue placemats
4 blue matching napkins with fringe, and 4 blue plastic napkin rings
4 pink napkins with fringe, and 4 pink plastic napkin rings
Pictured are one of each of the napkins. Placemats are identical to the blue napkins.
I have used these but they are in great condition; all machine washable. I used to alternate pink napkins with blue napkin rings, and vice versa.

Green floral print - four placemats, plus a matching melamine serving tray. For those farmgirls (or their SigOther) who wear size 6-8 there may be an extra little goody enclosed!

Here's another set of placemats only - "wicker" style - there are 8 large oval placemats ... picture is from one half of placemat placed on scanner! No digital camera ... have to get one of those somedayl
I would love to trade for cookbooks, plant and flower garden or farmgirl related how-to books, or Anne of Green Gables books/magazines or teacups and saucers.

Yes, I tried a few different ways; I've printed the instructions from Carol's post on how to add a link to a photo posted on the web, but obviously have not gotten the hang of it. I did post them to my yahoo photos, and I also tried sending you an email through your MJF profile. Did you get it? If not, do you want to send me an email through my profile page and let me reply to you with a jpg attachment? Sorry for the frustration. The towels are really cute. I also scanned the sets of placemats and will try to get them up here as well for you and everyone else to look at. (Anyone else interested feel free to email me through my profile and I can also reply to you with attachment(s).
TGIG everyone, the sun is shining today!
