Bartering goodness!
I love the idea of bartering. I can’t say I do it very much but when there is an opportunity that benefits both parties involved then I’m ready to jump in.
Kristine asked if I would be interested in trading some of these beautiful feed sacks that are in such perfect condition for a couple of charms. I said ‘sure’ and with a few more notes back and forth she had these in the mail…along with a couple of vintage Santa photos for me to ‘charm up’.
This charm is a picture of Kristine’s husband when he was a little guy.
I’ve been working with Post Office deadlines and have been forgetting to take shots of the custom charms before sending them on their way…I’m glad that I got this one.

Super cute! I love bartering too!
Elaine, thank you so much! I just LOVE them both!! I will need to get another of the one of my mom, this is going to be a hard one to part with!!!
You are welcome – I’m so glad that you like them! >
Great deal! I’m a fan of bartering, too. We trade fresh eggs for hair cuts, eyebrow waxing, canning jars and honey just to mention a few. It’s the way to go.
My dear daddy left his earthly body this morning at 2:39 for his eternal home with Jesus. My heart hurts for me, but I rejoice for him. He’s having a heavenly hoorah time.
Thank you for your prayers.

I love all of your charms! I’m trying to think of something I’d like to put in one myself. You may be hearing from me soon!
Great barter, I love what you received on your end as well!
I’d love to do a charm for you – just let me know! >
I love bartering, it is really an amazing invention. I am currently bartering on http://barterquest.com and totally love it.
[...] With this apron I put to use the beautiful, vintage feed sacks that I wrote about in this post. [...]
