| Winnie - I got my package today and I feel so SPOILED!!! I LOVED everything :) I got a sweet little basket made of paper that was filled with bath products that Winnie made! Then I got this adorable knitted summer hat (the blue was definitely not too much lol!) and I also got some yummy tea, a cute coaster as well :) And, I LOVE the tea towel!! It's so funny, because we recently purchased our home and we're going to be redoing the kitchen in the exact colours of the tea towel!! Thank you so so much, Winnie :) |

Shannon! I had so much fun opening all my treasures! I can't wait to try those recipes, love the way you made it into a 4th July book! My Hubby is vegetarian so I am excited for new ones! The hand made star is perfect for my Great Aunt Maddie's dish cabinet, only certain things look at home there. The wooden one is perfect for the other one! I decorate them for every season and holiday! I opened the rub and took a deep smell and it made my mouth water! Thanks for the socks, notebook and cute flag pin!!!!
   
Hugs! Connie

Yay! So glad you like everything! Did the Star hanging make it in one piece? It took me awhile to find a box long enough, lol, and I wasn't sure if the hanger was going to stay on :/ I wish I had asked to find out about your hubby being vegetarian :/ I totally could have put different recipes in there, though you can totally make the eggplant lasagna without meat :) Please let me know if you try any of them :)

Yippee, my swap arrived today from Denise and it was so fun! Check out the goodies here!
Denise made me this darling apron and table runner. Then she added some r/w/b star candles, window decorations, cupcake papers and flags, a darling bandanna, some peppermint sticks, and a lovely hand written card. Thank-you very much Denise for so many lovely items. I cannot wait to wear my apron!!

Yes Danyel I picked up your/my package last night. What fun. Did you do all that stuff yourself. Love it!! Jam and canned apples--enough for a pie. Did you make the door knob hanger? I have it hanging on my potting table. How did you do those place mats? Nice stationary too. Potpourri and a flag too. The flag is in my garden. Thank you so very much.
I was beginning to worry that you didn't get your swap but I suppose the post office takes it's time when it has to go across country. LOL.
Farmgirl,

The package that I received from Mary had me smiling from ear to ear. I adore these two items as they go with my décor so beautifully. There were also some pretties in the package for a nice bit of relaxation in the tub. It was such a lovely gift! Thank you, Mary!

Winnie,
Thank you so much for the summer goodies!! I got it after a long difficult work day! So nice how farm girl mail always arrives on those challenging days! It truly made my day! The hat, ball canning hot pad/mit, tea and coaster are adorable. The card is pretty and the jam cook book is great. I am thinking of making jam and all of these things will be so useful! Very fun swap . Thank you again for being so sweet and spoiling me!

Hi Denise~ So happy your Farmgirl mail came as the right time! Let us know if you try out any of the jam recipes and how they turn out. I love homemade jam and making it is very easy. If you haven't tried MaryJane's ChillOver powder to replace standard pectin, give it a try. It makes it easier to use less sugar so that your recipe has more fruit flavor and not just sweet flavor. Each package of ChillOver comes with a little book on other recipes to try as well.
Happy Summer!

Hi Winnie,
I was thinking of trying the ChillOver powder. Now I have the perfect excuse.
Thank you again.

DeniseAnn, yes do give ChillOver a try. I love the results it gives with jam and jelly making. In the recipe booklet, be sure to follow the amount of ChillOver to volume of mixture to make sure you use enough to make it gel. The same applies to standard pectin and works here as well. But, the beauty is , like I mentioned, you can adjust the sugar content to use less and get more flavor. Let us know how your jams turn out so others can try if they are interested.

Winnie, eaves dropping on this conversation - I have never tried the Chillover powder. Looks like it will be a great addition to the canning this season. Thanks for the tip - plan to order some this week.
