Kristina, for a first time swap hostess, I think you did a great job. Dont worry so much! I dont remember if I sent you cash or not, but are you sure you dont need some extra to help cover the shipping?

hi ladies!
I am Linda in Scranton, PA. Just joined a few days ago. I didn't participate in this swap but you guys really have me craving to see some pics of these clothspins! I am still looking around on this site. When I was growing up in the 1950s I loved to hang clothes on the line and smell the breeze and clean clothes. The old fashioned one piece clothspins were the best because they didn't have the wire to bend or break......and especialy no rust! it took MANY years out in the weather to wear one of those pins out. Also it brings backs memories when I see an angel or Christmas ornament made out of one. :-)
I love getting to know you by reading the posts and especially the fun you are having together with them!
Where are some pics of them?
:-) Linda

Hi again! You girls have captured me! I found a few pics of the clothspins and now I am craving I just have to go out and buy a clothesline. I live in city apartment now. (former childhood farmgirl---now farmgirl at heart).
We have hooks here for the lines but mine was taken down after plumbing work. I know how to run a line somewhere and somehow.....wish me luck!

Linda...Hi and welcome! You know, since Kristina started this swap (thank you!) I had to get a clothesline, and I bought several kinds of clothespins to decorate. And I completely agree, my favorites to use are the solid wood one-piece ones. They just slip into place so nicely, and overhead something as simple as squeezing a clip isn't so easy when holding sheets up off the lawn. I've got ideas stored up for decorating the one-piecers for the next swap. :)
Kristina...you dear sweet hostess! You've really done too much. :) I can't wait to see the clothespins, and the nag champa soap. Wow!
We make a difference. |

Linda, I think one of the other ladies in the group volunteered/was volunteered to host the next swap. I can't off the top of my head recall who that might have been; I don't think it's started yet...
18'ers, please confirm when you're clothespins have arrived--I just want to be sure everyone has gotten their package of goodies.

Kristina...just a quick update. I had a note in my PO box that UPS couldn't deliver to the PO Box, so they are coming back to the house tomorrow. I'm guessing that must be the clothespins. :) I'll confirm tomorrow, after I finish ooohing and aahhing. :) Thanks so much!

Michelle, I don't know what to tell you except to say that I *KNOW* I didn't indicate UPS for your box--obviously, the folks in our Fulfillment department didn't look carefully enough at the details for your package! You and Buttercup were the only exceptions as I know UPS can't do P.O.'s and Buttercup is international.  I am so sorry for the mix-up!

YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got my clothespins today, and what a treat. I am catching up on laundry. I am back to work now, and had alot of it, so things are being put out on the line. To all of you farmgirls who were in the swap.....YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB!
Even hubby likes them, and does not think I should chance putting them on the line, but keep them inside for show....hmmm.
Botanical Bath (Elizabeth), you are a WONDERFUL swap mama, and I love the gifts (even though I don't deserve them)
Farmgirl hugz to all......gotta go hang laundry.

Thanks for posting the pics, Elizabeth. My digital camera fritzed a few weeks back, so I wasn't able to post them.
As I believe all but our international contingents have received their packages, I think we are looking good. Just to be safe, who, exactly, is still waiting on their clothespins? Just want to start wrapping things up here...
