Hi Nicole,
Here is a picture of the great things you sent me. I have never tried Dandelion Jelly. Wanted to wait to try it till a picture could be taken. Love all the items. The bag will be very useful this summer. I use bags of all kinds a lot. How did you know I wanted a cutting board I could devote just to garlic? The towel is cute as a button and I did need a new nail file. My daughter likes the bucket candle holders. She can't have them though, but I might share with her. The recipe cards are one of my favorite colors.
Thank you so much for all of the gifts.

Oh I think everyone's packages are so nice and all so very different. Isn't that neat.
Laurie I am so glad you liked everything. Yellow is also my very favorite color or at least that yellow is because it is so sunshiney and I love summer sunshine. Anyway that caught my eye and I decided you must have it.
I will be happy whenever the package comes, I will be sure to let you know when it does. It will be wonderful.
hugs
darlene

Heather, I am so happy that you enjoyed your swap goodies!! I had fun putting everything together and making the the items for you. I try and make as many "parts" of my swaps as possible because I want them to give my partner a true Farmgirl feel when they open it all up. When I don't make the item myself, I try and make sure I got the item from someone else who made it happen. Sort of a way to help others at farmer's markets or Etsy shops. The hat is 100% cotton and can be used in warm weather. A farmgirl friend showed me the trick awhile ago to have a fun hat to default to when you are having a bad hair day. Presto! problem solved and out the door you go! Recently, I used mine at the beach as a way to protect my head in a sort of dressy way. So, be sure you wear it to the farmers market and out for dinner or outdoor picnics . People always say, hey, where did you get that cure hat?? Hahaha! Farmgirl secret!!

I have to share with you what I got from my partner Loretta. A beautiful scarf, a trinket box, necklace and earrings and a felted wrapped bar of soap that she made and a lovely note. When I opened the package I was overcome with emotion. My morning had not gone well (I had bent the blade on our mower and hopefully that is all that is bent) and opening up my package from Loretta was too much, it was PERFECT!!!! My husband stood there watching me Oohhing & Aahhing and said "What a wonderful gift to lift your spirits after the morning you had". I just want to thank Judy for hosting this swap, I joined this swap as a way to get back here and I came away with something I can't even explain. I've already e-mailed Loretta a thank you, but I'd like to thank her again here! Thank you Loretta for your gift, it did more for me at a time when I was feeling low than you'll ever know.
Farmgirls are kindred spirits.

Winnie,
I am glad your package arrived safely. I've never mailed canned goods before - I was nervous you'd end up with a coating of jam on everything. I'm happy I worried for nothing. Have a great summer!
Judy,
Thank you for hosting this swap. It was a great way to start the summer!

Krystle,
Thank you so much for the darling horse and little girl bookmark,
the Huckleberry lotion and lip balm (love the scent!) and the cute
little glittery flip flops notepad. Was fun finding your package in
my mailbox. You should be receiving mine soon, ready for you to open
when you finish your vacation. 
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |

Diana (grammadinah) I got my Summer surprise package today. The mail lady was in her truck out in front just sitting there. I had just take the dog for a walk in the woods and she was waiting for me. Look she says and hands me this large package. Yippee I yelled!!! How neat.
Thank you so much Diana for all the goodies and the beautiful apron. Yell and white and embroidery on it. I really like it. Well I like everything. 
the first thing I did was put the giant Sunflower out in the herb garden. Thanks again!! I guess I was so excited I forgot to mention all that I got. A vintage hankie, 4th of July napkins, some juice to be added to water a cute stuffed Hen, coupon holder and recipe cards. such fun. /well if I forgot anything you all can see what i received.
