My Swap from Linda and a New Give-Away

I recently did a swap with Linda (Parkers Paradise) and when I got home this evening, there was this great big box waiting for me.  I always enjoy swapping with Linda, she sends such great stuff.

 This is what I received, several baskets, some filled with old sewing supplies (which I collect), a plate, a basket full of doilies crocheted by an older woman, who told Linda that she was selling her things as she had to move into a nursing home, a small chair that I can use for displaying my dolls and a Country Sampler magazine and some patterns.  Thank you Linda, you are a great swapper.

 I also made a couple more dolls, I have probably made about 25 of these dolls, they always sell really well.  I found some sock monkey bottlecaps and made them into necklaces for each of the dolls to match their sock monkey aprons.

 And, since I am in the mood for fall, I am giving away a scarecrow nodder, this is made from a pattern by Old Road Primitives.  I love this little guy.  The rules are simple :  You must be a follower of this blog,new followers are always welcome, you must leave a comment on this post and if you would like one extra chance, post or blog about this give-away. Winner will be picked on July 15th, my birthday.

And I also found that out that I was a winner in Barb's Heartstrokes give-away.  I guessed her favorite fruit (Pineapple).  I purchased a couple of Barb's framed painted chickens on screen and just love them.  Thank you, Barb, can't wait to see what I won.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July.  Cyndy
