Crafty Swaps
Posted on November 16, 2009
Over on the Folksy forum a few weeks ago someone suggested that we swap goods from our shops with each other rather than buying from each other.
It’s been a success and I’ve got two lovely items so far. The first one is the lovely cushion cover in the photo from Julia of Midsummer Stitches. It has pride of place in my seat and the cats have been warned to keep away from it. Julia chose an amigurumi bunny and some strawberry buns from me . She also ordered two more bunnies, so happy bunnies all round here.
Last week I did a swap with Fatema of Rara Avis on Folksy.
One of my Christmas wreath brooches was requested by Fatema . I chose one of her lovely handmade note books. It really is nice, hand stitched with recycled paper pages and a secret pocket too. Once again I’m very pleased with it.
Well at least over at Folksy we’re getting Christmas shopping done without any money changing hands. It’s good fun and maybe should be an all year round thing to do.

I totally agree... I also did a swap with Rara Avis and received a lovely notebook. Swapping is definitely the way forward!!
