It is time to celebrate our 9th Annual Farmgirl Apple Pie Festival swap for 2023. 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 7, and Partners will be posted on September 8.
Everyone, let's kick off this 2023 Apple Season with lots of fun. I hope everyone will also share something about their favorite apples under the posting about our Annual Farmgirl Apple Festival. which is under the section Holidays.

Thank You Wanda for the wonderful apple package. I love the vintage apple cider jug and the hanging apples you painted will go perfectly in my summer kitchen. The treats swill be enjoyed and I will have apple. Idea in my new apple mug.
 
I am going to pack the magazines in my harvest bag to look through when I am waiting on a farmer to fill my grain cart.
Thank You Winnie for the always fun apple swap.

Sherry! Thank you so much for the box of apple goodness! I loved the coasters, thank you for making them! The taffy is a huge hit with both my hubby and I and I can’t wait to make the apple fritter bread! I will put the cuticle cream to good use and can’t wait to use the simmering potpourri!! My hubby is very excited about the Swedish dish cloth! He loves using these for doing the dishes. The dish towel will add some fall flair to my kitchen! :) thank you so very much!
