They are so soft and I have one in my tote bag. Just like hankies off old ... but softer and after you use it just toss in the laundry, and after the wash and dry you are back in business.

Sounds good - this inspired me to do one with my family that are scattered all over the U.S., I have great nieces and nephews that are total distance learning, we are going to start one for a Valentine swap with kids and adults as well. Wish me luck. It should be fun. I will most definitely participate in the next Farmgirl Swap too. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Marilyn, where do I even begin! Thank you so much for the INCREDIBLE pocket letter package! I am so impressed! First I was struck by how full and heavy it was, you really loaded up this goodie! And I love that you put a ruffle ribbon on one side, that really dressed it up so beautifully! It arrived over the weekend, but I like to wait to open everything until I get to work so I can share the fun with Ida and the other ladies (whom have all come to know you through our swaps!). The pins and needles and fabric (dish cloths? shilly shally? either way, I LOVE them!), quilting template, seeds, tea, cider, SO MANY punches and embellishments, lovely papers, buttons, clothespin-clips, it goes on and on! The snowman noses made me laugh out loud. The pumpkin sewing kit, OMG so adorable!! Please know that I have held and appreciated every single item, you are super generous and thoughtful! Thank you for making my day with your sweet letter, too. I hope you enjoy the new puppy, I'd love to see a photo! Thank you again, this has been so fun

Dear Marilyn!
Please do not make this a priority, I hope you are rested and mended! We have been swap partners a few times and I'm sure we will be again soon, why not save this to be the most awesome "tuck" ever and include it then! :) Take care and enjoy this beautiful fall day!

Oh, Marilyn, I'm sorry to hear you took a spill! I'm glad it wasn't more serious and please do not make the post office a priority, just rest and be restored! We all need to take extra special care of ourselves, now more than ever, for so many reasons!
Sending you hugs and healing,

Marlene was so timely - I received her pocket letter package last week !! I love this swap as it provides the opportunity to share a variety of art, objects, recipes, notes and so much more. Marlene's pockets include some lovely teas & cider, a vintage handkerchief, gift tag, paper, stickers and a recipe and it was as pretty on the back side as on the front. Thank you Marlene !!

You did great! I love the pocket letter you created. The scent of the tea is so autumn! Top left pocket: two autumn tags, one says Thankful.
Next is Jill's note to me. On the right is a lovely little hankie.
Middle row, a little gift of two tea bags, then a tag and a little book to put in my purse.
Bottom row:Sticky notes with tiny flowers. A 2 1/2" strip of autumn to sew with! And some autumn papers, so thoughtfully cut to size...
Now I can hardly wait to use the papers as well as some of the other things in my crafting/sewing. Of course I will have some tea too.
Jill You knew just what I would love. Fabrics, ribbons and paper! I love your pocket letter.
The binder clips and magnets to mark book pages are so pretty and useful.
THANK YOU!!!
