Dear Laura Jane, I received your box yesterday and just enjoyed looking at it and wondering what was in it.....so this morning it felt so fallish outside(fallish for south Alabama) that I could not wait any longer.....You were so sweet to me, much to much!!! But I loved everything...you hit everything that I love. The handmade Mr. Owl was absolutely precious...He would have been enough, but then there was a basket filled with candles, potholder, recipe cards, a little tin, and this was all inside a canvas tote bag decorated with pumpkins..How much better can it get! Thank you so much!!! You were so generous and kind....Smiles, Beth
You can never be to kind! |

Barbara (craftystranger) -- Your box arrived this morning. Oh, my ... how special it makes me feel!! Inside was a very sweet "Tom" turkey decoration sitting in a small basket shaped like a pumpkin. The enclosed note said that "Tom" and Barbara had come up with an idea 'cause the basket she loved was way too small to hold what she wanted to send. So, she and "Tom" came up with something different. Inside my box are 10 paper bags, each tied shut with raffia and holding something inside. Each one has a little Autumn leaf tag on it with a "clue" as to what is inside the bag. Such intriguing, delicious fun!!! Well, I've only opened the bag with the trowel cause I could tell what that was ... but there was also a lovely little gardening apron in that bag. The clue on the leaf for that one said, 'Fall planting'. I haven't opened the rest as I'm going to take it slowly one by one and savor the moments. Sweetie, you were just too generous and what a clever idea!! (I must remember it. ;-)
I deeply appreciate everything you've done and can't wait to see what is in each of those tantalizing little bags. ... Happy & Peaceful Fall Days, Carole |

Anna!
I just opened a box full of autumn happiness from my wonder farmgirl sister, Anna! It was filled with a very fun pitcher with a turkey and leaves on it, a cute bag full of autumn colored towels, fall smelling potpourri decorations, and some beautiful fall fabric that really invokes the season (pumpkins, turkeys, bushels of basket and a country store)! Thank you, Anna!!! I hope to have your package out by Friday. Looking forward to sending some Minnesota autumn your way....
~Anne

Don't forget to laugh! |

ChrisKit 81,
Your Harvest Theme Package was mailed out to you this morning. The mail clerk said you should receive your package Thursday or Friday.
I sent it certified, so you will have to sign for it.
I hope you will enjoy your goodies!
God Bless

I just have to say this was about the funnest swap I have done in awhile. I really had fun finding things for my swap partner Ruth. And I got to go see her in Epworth today to bring her box of goodies to her. It was a beautiful drive along the Ocoee River. I spent the day with her going around to thrift stores and apple orchards and a wonderful German bakery that was closed but she knew the owner and he was there and let us in. And we had a really good lunch too which she treated me to.
So she has a beautiful home. And a sewing room. She had the most beautiful apron hanging on the door that she had made. I have never seen such an apron before. And she made it. And she said it was for me! It's got farm animals all over. It's a full apron. I love it. I hope she can post a picture of it. She also made a pretty leaf pot holder. And she also had a basket of goodies. Apple butter, pear butter, gardener's soap, a cute book mark made with beads, a personal planner calendar, a beautiful square glass pendant necklace. Oh my goodness, It was great. All wrapped up like Christmas. That's what it felt like. Ruth, thank you so much for everything. But the pot holder and that apron. My goodness. Oh, also a pretty trivet-plaque on a stand.
Thank you for a great swap, Ruth. I so enjoyed the day with you. You are amazing!

Barbara, my special November day is the 30th. I got a real chuckle out of the little bag in my box with the clue that said, "Be a Queen on your birthday". Inside was my very own crown, among other things. Too funny and I shall wear it on that day! :-) I'm still opening bags but everything is wonderful!! Thanks again.
I agree that this was a great swap, Kristin. How nice that you were able to get together with your swap partner. That was special.

Hi Linda! Oh my GOSH - do I love your gifts! Thank you SO so SO much! I especially love that you made everything - you are SO talented! I will surely treasure them for years to come! The apron is ADORABLE and is already hanging on a peg in my kitchen with the potholders set - ready for use at dinnertime tonight! I also love the gathering bag - when not in use, it, too, will be hanging on a peg filled with some dried florals, and I'll probably grab it from time to time to carry snacks or my books when we're out and about! I love it - so cute! And the washcloths you knit for me - oh! I absolutely NEEDED them - I am so grateful! And you coordinated everything so beautifully! They are the perfect autumn accents for my green and white kitchen!!! Thank you! You're a peach!!! Please do stay in touch! Hugs - Nini

Kris, What a wonderful day we had yesterday - spending time together, opening special wrapped packages of all sorts of Fall decorating goodies - turkey salt and pepper shakers, gourd salt and pepper shakers, pretty Fall Placemats - perfect for our Cabin room and harvest table. I Love the dish cloth you made for me, beautiful table runner, not sure which table that is going on yet, candles that smell yummy, two different little jack-o-lanterns, both adorable. I have the scarecrow welcome sign on my island in the kitchen, greeting all that enter!
Thanks for the tasty apples, I made fried apples for dinner tonight - delish! I forgot to give you the little basket they were in!
We had a fun little side trip to my friend Liz's to pick pears and get a tour of her lovely old homestead Hugs, Ruth

This has been a fun swap both ways -- I enjoyed finding/making goodies for Karen and also enjoyed receiving all the goodies that she sent me. I am ready for colder weather with a darling purple hat and white gloves.

Hi Deborah, Got the package late last night and sat down today to open it... Thank you soo much! How wonderful it was, the yellow confetti with little Halloween cut outs made it so much fun to open. Cooler weather is returning this weekend, perfect time to bake the pumpkin bread and light that wonderful fall votive you sent. How adorable are the cookie cutters and little ramekin? Cant wait to use the little kaleidoscope to look at the fall leaves, I think it will be really pretty. Going to share the candy corn with the family, I have never had cider flavored, so cant wait to try it. And the little felt candy corn frame was a riot. Thank you so much for the fun. Let me know when your arrives, hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoyed mine. R
Oh happy day! Farmgirl sister #1485

Christy,
I just received my Fall Treasure Box. Thank you for everything. It was so much fun opening it. I felt like a child at Christmas.
I sent you an e-mail. I think I am going to have to arm wrestle my husband to take back my sack of candy. LOL!
I loved everything in my box.
Take care, and many farmgirl sister husgs to you friend.
