I like the trade blog ideas too. Debi --you should print some cards out with your blog addy for local barters. I have some and hand them out to friends and neighbors . Sometimes the neighbors have extra garden produce and trade with me . You would be surprised what people will trade for things. I just agreed to trade bunch fingerless gloves for girlscout cookies this morning ! I added your trading blog link on my barter page.

Thanks, Lisa! I will take your advice and see what happens. Its a wonderful idea, I will work on a format sometime today. You have fantistic ideas yourself. I was trying to come up with tradin for fabric for my charities. That way I am not buying all the time. This winter its not been easy going here, with all the snow. I usually do my shopping 75 miles away (Better choice) My stash starting to get slim pickin's. Now with my arm in the sling, i don't want to drive that far.
I appreciate the ideas just throwin' this way anytime.

Hope your arm gets better soon ! Once people know you barter local it can be fun. When i use to make renaissance cloaks all the time i would trade them around halloween . I collect alot of sci fi books and i got piles of them that way :P One of neighbors has a tow truck --last summer i had to have my car towed to garage and she traded her hubby towing me for a necklace and ear rings for her daughters birth day . Saved me fifty bucks ! Bonne and i have had an ongoing barter for about 6 yrs now ---about every month we are swapping a box of something . She makes the most awesome jelly . It is like a taste of summer .

Oh wow! I make the best huckleberry mixed jelly/jam and huckleberry pie filling which I love to can. Its a true blueberry but has a lot more gusto in flavor, they goes for $ 50.00 a gallon because because of gas prices. and tourism wants them. I can't wait. I have some in the freezer, I might have to make some up. Thanks.

| Debi, what sizes of fabric pieces are you looking for? My daughter would enjoy the prairie girl book, I think. I have lots of fabrics, but not uniform sizes. Let me know what in more detail you're looking for, if you don't mind. |

BLog looks great !! Do you take local barters ? If you have a list of stuff like gardeneing items you are looking for you could do a local section . Esp works out if you have cards made up with your barter blog on them

Maybe local people will barter with you for produce ? I am going out to this farming flea maret in spring and leave cards with alot who sell garden plants. I sold at this flea market for 2 summers and traded alot of stuff then. I didnt go last year and i should have . I can get horse manure form work so i am gonna even offer bags of it for trade to people in town here who garden :)
