Since Debbie had missed the sign up and wanted to join in, we decided to be swap buddies and what fun we had! Debbie, I loved my box of apple fun that you gathered for me!!! There was a big vintage red apple that hangs up, some cute apple fabric, a package of Werther's apple caramels, a little bag of apple cider mix, a pumpkin stamp(perfect for postcard writing!) some fall packing tape(so cute!), a very fun book to enjoy , and a Gooseberry Patch fall cookbook with lots of fantastic apple recipes. Thank-you Debbie for so many wonderful apple and fall surprises!!! It is always exciting to see what sort of apple things Farmgirls come across and then send along and I know I will enjoy everything you gathered for me this year!!

I got home from Ireland last night and there were all of my swap boxes waiting for me. It was like Christmas morning earlier today!!! Sherry was my swap partner for our Apple exchange and what a fun box of goodies arrived!!! Wow, Sherry, such a collection of apple themed things to enjoy! There was a darling apple dishtowel with apple hanger, an apple scented candle I can't wait to try, this fun dishcloth that its dry until you put it in the water( washes in laundry and is reusable just like cloth), apple scented soap, a wonderful red kitchen apron, and this really cool red bucket that had apple spice, pumpkin pie spice and gingerbread spice. You sure do know how to spoil this apple loving Farmgirl!! Thank-you, Sherry!!
Apple goodness is quite abundant this year from all the photos of this annual Apple Festival swap at MJF!

Thank you so much Connie for the lovely apple package. I'm feeling very spoiled. You must have known that so many of my tea towels really are only fit for the rag bag. I'm going to be hosting my book club in a couple of weeks and I think the caramel apple cheese ball mix will be ideal, and I think I'll save the candy for then too. I always do a bit of a fall theme as I host in October. Perfect. I will enjoy the tea so much as well, it smelled lovely opening the package. I'm putting the apple up on my fridge and I'm looking forward to trying the recipe, maybe next time my granddaughter is over. I'll have fun with the stamps. Thank you so much for your generosity.

Thank you so much for such a sweet box. I love the bag you made, so super soft. I don't want to put it down. The towel is precious. I love the potpourri, I need to learn to make some, it smells and looks so pretty. Thank you for the sweet sign and the great reads I have coming. Tomorrow morning with my pumpkin spiced coffee and great books I will be in Heaven.....oh and maybe a bite of chocolate. :) Thank you for such a thoughtful box and wonderful letter.

My box came today. I was getting a bit worried. But what a nice surprise it was. I love everything. I need to learn to make potpourri, yours smells out of this world yummy. I love the towel and pot holder. The recipes I am so ready to try, just need a few items for them. Love the flag and goodies. Candle smells really nice and the postcard is frame worthy. The little apple dish is right ready to be placed out, I love it. Thank you for being my partner. Happy Fall and hope your trip was fabulous.

Rebecca, my wonderful apple package was waiting for me when I returned from a weekend with family. First, I cannot tell you how much I love everything! The table runner is just beautiful. It will be on my table all through fall and Christmas. I love decorating with apples at Christmastime. Thank so much for all the work that went into it. I can't want to try the tea and the mulling spices for our cider this year. I have lots of apples and will be trying these new recipes out. They sound so good and I know my JT will enjoy them too. Jolly ranchers are always welcome for my sweet tooth and the Apple chips will make me feel better about the candy. LOL. The coasters are fantastic and here we can never have to many to save my furniture from wet glasses. Thank you for being my swap partner.

Winnie, as soon as I opened my mailbox yesterday I knew my package arrived from you. Yummy, everything smelled like apples. Thank you so much for everything and being my Swap partner. I will post pictures tomorrow so everyone can see all the wonderful gifts. Yummy here are my wonderful gifts, a gala apple with crocheted cover,
Winnie’s Chucky Apple Spread can not wait to try it. Her fabulous Warm Apple Pie Coffee which I have had before and love it, an Apple Coffee Mug to drink a Winnie Coffee from. A pot holder made by Winnie too and of course some fall candy. Everything wonderful and delicious! Thank you again so much.
I hope you are having a wonderful time on Ireland.
Big Hugs,

I am so glad you liked it all. It was a fun package to get together. We love the jam. Apples fresh from our garden. I can't wait for cooler days. Have a terrific Fall.

Thank You Kelly for the fun Apple package. I am pretty sure blackberry Apple jam is my new favorite, it is soooo good. Love the Apple wine cork magnets, clever idea and the hand fan and plant stake are both very cute. I needed a new timer , the candle smells divine and the tea and candy will be well enjoyed. Hope you cool down soon.
