I posted this in the Farmgirl Barter section but its not getting many hits - so I thought I would re-post it here.
I acquired some old crimped wire fence - 2 rolls that are each approximately 35 feet long. One roll is 30" high and the other is 36" high - the kind that is looped/curved at the top. Its lovely and aged and perfect for a farmgirl garden. However, it is in northern MT and I live in IL. If you can pick it up in Shelby, Great Falls, or Helena - its yours - no charge.
I do some work in N MT on a part-time basis for my old company. I was talking with an older gentleman and mentioned how much I liked all the old fence I saw around and would love some for my garden - and the next thing I knew, he gave me these two rolls. I gratefully accepted - before I found out how much it was going to cost to ship it to IL (my brother even said I could use his corporate UPS account). Anyhoo, its just cost-prohibitive for me to ship it.
Soooo, I'm hopeful there is a farmgirl in N. MT - or going through N. MT - and would like to have this lovely old fence... If so, send me an email. I will be going back to MT in July.

WOW! You girls up there should jump on this! I have it around my kitchen garden and it is lovely and functional. It also makes wonderful Mary Jane chandeliers. : ) One of you chapters up there could use it for that project.
Very generous of you Lorraine!

I saw (and love) those chandeliers and thought if it didn't fit my garden, I would share it with my farmgirls. Hopefully, someone will want it.

Hi all - quick update - just returned from MT and was able to ship my fence home. What a wonderful surprise to drive into my driveway and see it on my front porch - it beat me home! Someone I work with helped me package it - so I cut out that cost - and the shipping wasn't as bad as I thought (however, I used my brother's fedex account - with his permission). So I have my fence, now I just have to install it - that will probably have to wait until fall. I'll post pictures after I'm finished.

I'm dying to see what those chandeliers look like that you referred to. I'm relatively new to the sisterhood, so I haven't seen all of the previous magazines.
