Hi. I am a new member to the Farmgirl Connection and am thrilled to be online with all of you! My "older" neighbor (elderly just doesn't seem nice, but you get the point) does not have a computer and has asked me to place her country cow collection on the Farmgirl Barter page. This country cow collection is huge consisting of 58 cow items. The cow pieces are of a "country" theme and were displayed together in her home. These pieces are older and new, some dating back to the late 1980's. All of the items for sale are photographed in 8 different pictures but I don't know if I can download the pictures to this post. If you are interested, please email me at tl17557w@epix.net and I can email the pictures to you. I have described the items: (1) female cow doll approx. 9-1/2" tall; (2) male cow doll approx. 9-1/2" tall; (3) brown/white wooden cow plaque approx. 10" tall; (4) black/white cow in grass wooden plaque approx. 9" tall; (5) angel cow in blue country dress approx. 6" tall; (6) USA striped wooden cow plaque approx. 6" tall x 9" long; (7) cow pot holder approx. 11" long with tags; (8) country kitchen towel with cow painted on the towel approx. 13" long (as seen folded in half) with tags; (9 & 10) 2 blue striped cow kitchen towels approx. 9" long each (as seen folded in half); (11 & 12) 2 white kitchen cow towels approx. 9" long each (as seen folded in half); (13) beige with painted brown cows kitchen towel approx. 11" long (as seen folded in half); (14) decorative mini cow pillow approx. 3" long; (15) decorative stuffed cow approx. 5" long x 6-1/2" tall; (16) cow painted on pottery container (heavy!) approx. 5" tall x 4-1/2" long; (17) cow angel doll with tags approx. 12" tall; (18) painted cow on a stick approx. 8" tall; (19) black/white grazing cow wooden plaque approx. 6" tall x 8-1/2" long; (20) tin standing cows and middle can hold a mini-candle (wooden crayon in that spot now) approx. 2-1/2" high x 9" long; (21 & 22) cow porcelain salt and pepper shakers each approx. 4" tall; (23) Plaque "some days you step in it. some days you don't" approx. 5-1/2" tall x 7" long; (24) black framed hand-painted girl milking cow approx. 6" tall x 8" long; (25) wooden purple cow approx. 3" tall; (26) brown spotted wooden cow approx. 3-1/2" tall; (27) wooden cow with black spots approx. 2-1/2" tall; (28) tan-colored wax cow approx. 2-1/2" tall; (29) black/white wind-up plastic cow approx. 2-1/2" tall; (30) "I Pour Out my Love for Moo" by Enesco dated 1994 of porcelain approx. 2" tall; (31) Cow print with oak frame approx. 6-1/2" tall x 8" wide; (32) "Sweet Cream, Fram Fresh, Grade A" print approx. 10" tall x 8" long; (33) Hand-painted cow/ducks print with wood frame "Jo Ann knew swimming whith ducks looked silly but it felt so good" approx. 10-1/2" tall x 13-1/2" long; (34) blue wooden cow approx. 3" tall; (35) thin wooden cow approx. 2-1/2" tall; (36) wooden cow with black spots on string approx. 2" tall; (37) Wooden black/white cow plaque approx. 5-1/2" tall x 9-1/2" long; (38) Wooden cow dressed in country dress approx. 6" tall; (39) Brown/white wooden cow approx. 5" tall x 9" long; (40) Black/white cow with detached/dangly arms/legs approx. 15" tall; (41) Little blue cow with red ribbon approx. 2" tall x 3-1/2" long; (42) Black/white porcelain cow with movable legs approx. 3" tall x 2" long; (43) Blue heart with brown/white cow raised and painted on it made of baked clay(?) approx. 3" tall x 3" long with twine for hanging; (44) Country cow stuffed approx. 2" tall x 4" long; (45) black/white wooden cow approx. 1" tall x 2" long; (46) White cow face with bell approx. 5" tall; (47) Cow heart pillow with similar pattern on the back with string for hanging approx. 6" tall; (48) wooden cow with pick legs approx. 2" tall x 4" long; (49) Black/white wooden cow on twine with wooden red heart approx. 13" tall when hung; (50) Cow wallhanging approx. 13" tall x 20" long; (51) Country cow on a tricycle approx. 6" tall; (52) Laying procelain cow approx. 2" tall x 3" long; (53) Laying cow with muted black/white approx. 2" tall x 2" long; (54) Wooden cow to "sit" on a shelf or doorway approx. 5" tall; (55) Framed circle cross-stitch of black/white cow approx. 3-1/2" across (long); (56) Stuffed fabric cow approx. 2" tall x 3" long; (57) two black/white cows hung on either on end twine, total length 11" tall from cow to cow; (58) Wooden country standing cow approx. 2" tall x 3" long. Most of these items were handmade (painted, cut-out, framed, etc.) which in my opinion gives the pieces a truer "country" look. This is an absolutely huge and wonderful cow collection. It is a collection ready to go: all of the pieces ready for your display and to call your own "cow collection"! All of the items are from a smoke-free, pet-free environment. If you need the pictures and/or have questions, please contact me through my email address, again: tl17557w@epix.net. She is asking $200.00 for the collection but I would be more than happy to tell her of any offers made. Also, I have a website on which I sell handmade cards and invitations, as well as premade scrapbook pages and other supplies. Please check my website at www.melissaskeepsakecreations.com. Thanks so much for your consideration. Melissa |

Hi Melissa,
Welcome ... I would be interested in seeing pictures of the collection. I will send you an email to reply to.
Is your neighbor trying to sell the collection in one piece or break up separate items?
Thanks, and don't forget to go on over the the Welcome Wagon and tell us more about yourself!
