I would like to be the swap mama for a Buy Local swap...
How about six girls?
We will each pick our favorite locally produced item and buy enough to share with the other five gals. Try to find things that are not just made where you live but use some materials from your area.
Let me know the size of what you are sending- I would like to use little boxes if possible to keep costs down. You will all send them to me with $5 so I can put them into small flat rate priority mail boxes to send back to you full of the others gals items.
Our things will need to be small enough to fit in a 8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8" box. If we need to we can do the $10.35 boxes which are much bigger.
There is no suggested value, just something special from your little corner of the world. Let's try to get some farmgirls from all over. Sign ups will go until it is filled, I am hoping you can send your items to me by September 25th so I can have them to you by October 1st.
Warmly,Rebekka
Signed up
1. Rebekka Mae, Moscow Idaho- received
2. Karen, Meansville GA- received
3. Melody, Athens TX
4. Julia, Medical Lake WA- received
5. Robin, Denver CO- received
6. Brenda, North Rose NY
By the way...it can absolutely be something you make yourself!

This sounds like a great swap. I will have to keep my eyes open for another one later in time. I am in sooooo many swaps, my money is disappearing way to quickly. ;-( They are so addicting though. Have fun. I hope to see pics of what you all got.
Have a good day!

I'm off to shop today. I have no idea yet what I will be sending, this is like going on a treasure hunt. I will let you know what the size is when I get home. I will just send you $12 and if you end up going with the smaller box you can put change in mine, but if you need a big one there will be plenty.
Smiles, Melody June
