I have been making Embroidered keepsake hankies, the hankie is made out of FlowerSack cloth (new) For my daughter,and myself I made Amhish girls gardening. If you want I could embrioder something else if they are boys or one of each. I would trade four (one set for you and each baby). For the buttons or bath teas. Let me know if you are interested.

Wow Anne! I would love to know what the titles or subject of old books that you have. I would be happy to make you some Bath Soap. I never use dyes in mine and I need to make some for a soap swap and for my sister anyway. What fragrance would you like? And do you prefer essential oil or fragrance oil or nor fragrance?

Here are 5 of the books that I have for offer, they are all written by women so I thought that they would be interesting to other women.
Peggy Stewart at Home, Gabrielle Jackson 1920
Bells For The Dead, Kathleen Moore Knight 1942, jacketed
Josselyn's Wife, Kathleen Norris 1942 reprint
Secret Marriage, Kathleen Norris,1936 jacketed
The Hidden Window Mytery, Nancy Drew, C. Keene 1956
Because of the age of these books they have some natural wear, foxing, and are not perfect! But they are all pefectly readable and they are all Hardbacks with their spines intact. |

Anne,
Amanda can have the buttons. I have a lot, so I will drop out of the trade. Alee, those look like some good books.

I would be interested in the buttons and I would be interested in the christmas ornaments if they are glass. I would also like the yarn if it is cotton or wool, silk, rayon (viscose) in nature not acrylic.
i can make a baby bonnet for the baby tell me boy or girl or neutral
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

i would like to trade a little stuffie(knit/felted) animal for any books that have vintage graphics, or any vintage pincushions, or if you have any silk or rayon ribbon i can use for rouching on my pincushions.
i can make almost any animal, as i draw the patterns myself, but i usually make giraffes, elephants, and horses. they can be any color or size and they are stuffed with cedar sawdust or can be stuffed with other sawdust if you dont want cedar. they also can be made of silk instead of felted knit and they are a 100% recycled scrap craft.
if you want to see more pics i think sunshine has them on her vintage threads store blog as i have been selling them thru her.
if you're interested let me know.
love
fran

Okay Ladies I've been out of town for a week, (my grandson's 1st birthday) Please forgive me. I mailed the feathers before I left to alishushu. Now give me a day to catch up and I'll be ready to send out the rest.
The christmas ornaments are glass, I don't have any vintage graphics or vintage pin cushions and the yarn I have is acrylic. I'll have to see if I have any ribbon.
I'll try to connect with each of you to get this barter completed shortly! |

thank you anne! i returned from work today to find a tube sticking out of my mailbox (as i live on a fairly busy hwy, the mailperson had rubberbanded the tube to the mailbox and mailbox door so that it wouldn't be wide open... it was quite funny looking as i drove up the road). i had forgotten all about them and was thrilled when i opened the tube to find dozens of brightly colored feathers of every size! (the cats were pretty interested as well!!) the large red ones are breathtaking! thank you... i will send your package soon... have a great day!
