It's Sue Feely. My partner was Darlenelovesart from Loleta CA.
From Darlene I received: A jar of honey from a farm in her town, also a beautiful beeswax candle, a jar of eel river relish that is used on hamburgers and roast beef since 1946 and also a couple of postcards from her area! Thanks so much Darlene - Love it, just what I was hoping to see in creating this swap!

Michelle sent me some goat's milk soap and lotion she made herself. I put them both in my kitchen to use there. I love goat's milk soap. Thank you Michelle. Enjoy your visit with the grandkids.

Here is what I received from Liz:
The Lemon Honey Cream is really good on a Honey Fig Scone 
I am going to give the toys to a little boy that is the same age as one of my grand-daughters. His mama is a very good friend of mine, like another daughter.
Thanks LIZ!

You're welcome. I know some people don't know any toys are still made in the USA. If I hadn't had to mail it you would have gotten one of the big ones. lol

I can't post pictures, but I received the nicest box from Diane yesterday. A mug, candy, beef jerky,locally made soap and Wisconsin cheese shaped like a cow! All of this plus the cutest card made from a photo of a cat with knitting! (2 of my favorite things!) Thank you so much Diane for spoiling me with such a wonderful box, it was a real treat to open it! I am looking for one more thing to place in your box and it will be on its way. I started packing it last night, recycling your box! Thank you again for your every kindness.

Deb!! Thank you so very much for the awesome Blue Ridge Paying Cards!! I absolutely adore them! And I love playing cards! What a fun way to really capture this theme of a local swap. I love all the pictures on the cards and the info is so interesting. Thank you for the magazine too! I loved this. I have the cards on display on a shelf, but fully intend on breaking them out! :) Thank you again, this was really fun! :)

Dear Diane,
Your box is on its way. I put an ice pack in it inside a plastic bag, so I hope your goodies don't melt! It is coming priority so you should get it Monday or Tuesday. I hope you will enjoy.

I just received my package from Portia. She sent me some State Fair Spiedie sauce and a Chicken sauce. Can't wait to try them at my next barbeque. What's great is I also received information about the sauce and ways to use the sauce. Thank you so much.
By the way, mine is on its way.

Hi Sue
What a wonderful package I received today! Thank you so much! I will have to try all those sauces soon. Summer is here perfect time to try them. I am really anxious to try the wing sauce, I love hot wings so yum, The Ciavetta's Barbeque Marinade will be great to cook all my favorite meats, it does so many things such as sauce and marinating. Yum, and mustard is my favorite and I like horseradish alot so that will be great on my sandwiches. The hotdog sauce is going to be great! I could make that for a pot luck for chili dogs. Oh I am getting hungry already! Thanks so much, wish you were here we could have a bbq!
Have a wonderful day and thanks for holding the Locally Made Swap. It was fun and thank you for the lovely note card.
hugs Darlene

My swap partner Nana5 (Rebecca) sent me the most wonderful package today!
She sent: a couple of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mixes and recipe book (all local), a Drakes's Crispy Fry Mix, a box of Gilbert Chocolates that I sampled right away, a local handmade bar of soap that smells wonderful, a little soy candle, some note cards and post cards and the cutest pair of slippers she knit! She also sent me a very sweet and interesting letter about her town and surrounding area. I really enjoyed the little note that told of her Grandma being a chocolate dipper at the Gilbert Chocolate factory! Thank you so much Rebecca!

Lesley,
I am so glad you liked your sauces. They are the BEST! We love them, and they are made right here in Binghamton, NY. I left out a button for you to wear when I mailed your package, so I put it in an envelope and mailed it Saturday. Wear it with pride!! 
I will let you know when I receive mine.
Hugs,
Portia
Wishing for the country life! |
