It is time to celebrate our 7th Annual Farmgirl Apple Pie Festival swap for 2021. This exchange can be anything you wish to share but do try and keep it small and simple because shipping costs are so high these days! Here are some ideas that are fun; Apple recipes, anything apple that you make like a dishtowel, knitted dishcloth, homemade apple greeting cards to use , apple bowl fillers or whatever you think is fun. It just has to be about Apples.
I hope those of you who can will join in the fun! Sign ups will go through September 9, and Partners will be posted on September 10.
We had an odd number sign up so we will do the round robin technique for your partners. Just a reminder of how it works. You send your package to the person by your name. That person sends to the person on the next line. example: beccalou sends to tree lady who then sends to Killarney who then sends to sweettea59 and on down the list to the last line lovinRchickens will send to Beccalou who was at the top of the list. Please send me any questions as some of you might not have done this technique before. With an odd number this method allows everyone to receive a package. Happy Swapping!!

Oh, my, Joan. I got my package today in the mail. I love farm girl mail, and you overdid it with this swap. Thank you so much!
Joan sent me an apple corer/slicer with apple green handles, a great birdhouse with an apple on the front, an apple (or heart) shaped box of shaped note sheets, Apple cider packets, York peppermint patties (I already ate 2 of them - yummy!), and two homemade items - a microwave bowl potholder (we use these all the time and can never have too many of them), and a jar opener. I love it ALL!
Thank you SO much!
Farmgirl hugs,
Linda

Thank you so much, Joan; I had said last year you didn't have to send anything. You had more than enough on your plate.
You always do very nice things for your swap items. I know I will love them. Hugs and prayers for you!
I will keep an eye out for them. Thanks, again, for letting me know to keep a lookout!
Farmgirl hugs,

Terri, you package was on my doorstep last night and what a wonderful box of apple surprises!! I love that cute wooden apple box you painted filled with fun candies, tea and instant apple cider pack, the darling apple picking themed garland, cloth apple mask, adorable handmade owl, and the fun big apple cutouts!! You did such a great job making many of these apple goodies. Thank-you so much and I will enjoy using and eating everything that you so carefully put together!! My stone pumpkin, whose name is Pumpkin Pie is wearing the cute reversible mask that you made too.

Dear Linda,
Thank you so much for my apple pie fun. It is all so practical and neat. When I explained the tea cozy to Mom, she explained we could put it on the toaster as we do not drink tea. The cocoa and cider look great. Can't wait for a nice cool day to dig into them. And the plate cozy will be wonderful at school as I often forget and grab the hot plate from the microwave in my haste at lunch.
Not sure if the apples will find their way to a garland, gift tags or what but they will definitely be used.
Thank you so much. It is all wonderful. Forgive me for the delay in expressing my gratitude.
Blessings to you.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord

Hi, Everyone. I want to thank all of you for thinking and praying for my family. I appreciate all your notes, emails, and cards. I am taking one day at a time, one moment at a time, but I know I will make it through this with my Savior right here with me. Thank you for being friends and Farmgirl Sisters.

Winnie, the little painted Johnny Appleseed tray I found here in Coos Bay at a favorite shop of mine called Vintage 101. They have a bit of everything old and new with fair prices. So I love shopping there and I am always on the lookout for treasures for swaps.
Everyone’s Apple gifts are great!
Big Hugs,
Debbie
