Howdy, Farmgirl Sisters!
Let your inner child out to play with this Victorian Christmas stocking swap!!!
The Victorians filled stockings according to this poem:
"Something to eat,
Something to read,
Something to play with,
Something they need."
Fill your partner's stocking according to those four items. Ask her what her fave candy is, fave reading genre (could even be a cool magazine),her fave toy as a kid (could be a miniature doll, teddy, bag o' marbles, truck, etc.), and something that she needs (lip balm, mittens,etc.)
The sign-up deadline is November 20.
Please mail out by DECEMBER 1st.
Have fun, and be creative!!!! ;D <3

One more VERY important detail...Please cap total cost at 20.00 (including stocking and four items). It's supposed to be fun, not expensive.
Ex.
* 1 felt stocking from Dollar Store (with a bit of farmgirl embellishment perhaps ;)
* 1 box of junior mints
* 1 issue of Mary Janes Farm Magazine
* 1 plastic cow figurine
* 1 tube of Avon lipbalm

I'd love to round out the party - please include me!
If this is a Victorian swap, then all items should be of the past, correct? This could be great fun antiquing lip balm! |

Anna-box arrived today. I was treated royaly! Anna sent a beautiful red and green stocking-I like the traditional red and green of Christmas-and filled it with wonderful things. Potatoe soup-my favorite, I'll share that with a friend or two for a holiday get together. A Christmas mug with a matching saucer an old fashion Christmas scene on it. Small ornaments in a vintage box I'm going to display them in the box. A white Santa with a Christmas tree and a book from her favorite author. What a treat Anna, thank you. Merry Christmas!

LindaJo --- No, nothing came in the mail today. I'll be sure to comment as soon as I get my hands on it!
The potato soup is cause that's what Idaho is famous for - potatoes!
And I knew you'd love the Shiny Brite ornaments - under $10 at the local thrift store. Those were my favorites, too!
I'll post when the mail arrives.
