My swap with Amy

Hi all! Hope you are having a great start to the week! It is hot and humid around this area and I know some of you are going through the same thing. So stay hydrated everyone if you are outside!

I'm late in posting this...sorry Amy!!! But that sweet girl and I did a swap and the items she gave me are just fantabulous!
All the pineapple things she made herself. There is a real dried pineapple (Amy said she is never going to do another..lol), a fabric pineapple and beewax pineapples. These smell so good!! I noticed that she has them posted on her blog today and is selling them, be sure to go visit, they are great!!! There is also a very cute little wooden bucket and also an awesome Americana picture.

And then THIS!!! I so love this, I have wanted an item of Karen's for a long time now and I finally have one!! I was so excited over this!! It's a darling little prim bag. I'm not sure if I want to use it though...lol!

And yes of course I can't forget to mention the cracker box. I forgot to take a picture of it, thanks girl! Love ya!!

Has anyone heard from Sue over at Oodlekadoodle Primitives?? I'm worried about her, she hasn't posted now in over 4 weeks.

Ok, that's it for me! Have a great week everyone!! And thanks again so very much Amy!!

Love that bag, it is great. Amy sent you some really nice things. I have never seen a dried pineapple before, that will be a great conversation piece. Hope you a great week.

Hello Brenda!
Awesome goodies from Amy-especially the pineapple. I'm going to have to figure out how to dry a real one! Been wanting some pineapple things for some time. Just can't find em' around here.
Your willow bag turned out great. Hope you are staying cool. It's a lovely 57 this morning, windows are open, birds are chirping and it's great!
Take care,
Sheila

Hi Brenda, You were spoiled with such wonderful goodies. Too send a dried pineapple, girl, you have been blessed by a wonderful friend. I read the tutorial on drying one of those, had bought my pineapple and decided to eat it instead. Sounded really time consuming. I have been concerned about Sue also. Please post if you hear from her. Have a great day.
