A fellow farmgirl said I should post this on the barter side vs. swap....
I hope I am doing this the right way.... I have a pile of things I always meant to use, but I just cannot find the time. I would rather pass these things on to someone that can use them. I can swap for anything. I homeschool my four children and I can make a learning experience from anything you want to swap (sample of wool, jam, seeds, etc) - or just surprise me with anything you have laying around (old aprons, potholders, torn up quilts or squares, etc - stained is fine)! I am obsessed with anything "Amish" (do they have a support group for that?) If you have nothing to swap that is just fine! I just want them to go to someone that will use them. I will ship them USPS. I can also email any pictures you may want of the item(s). I am new here and just getting the hang of the boards, so forgive me if I posted this wrong.

Please do not feel obligated to send something back, if you do great. If you don't I will get plenty in return knowing someone is using these and will love them all as much as I do.
