I love the saying on it.

my jaw dropped when I opened this one. being an artist I always try to support the local artist and this took my breath away. It is a hand painted bottle of  a chickadee and there are christmas lights inside that you can plug in and it turns into a lamp. I am so very honored to get this. Thank  you so much

Wow That is an amazing swap box, there are so many extras, I'm floored by how many items there are. Congrats!

[xeevee]

what a fantastic box!  Mare you did a great job!  That bottle is amazing!

Mare if you have digital copies of your pics you should share them.

[cassstorm]

Wyndeboo you better pick me up on your way to Maine- wow I want to go too!

[clones_rebellion]

Mare if you have digital copies of your pics you should share them.

I have the digital copies of Mare's pics. (Her camera was just NOT co-operating!) I'll try to load some of them up this weekend.

  Wyndeboo....... I sooo glad you like everything!  I sooo worried that bottle would get broken in shipping! Woman who makes those is good rabbit breeder friend of mine! She makes a bottles for rabbit clubs shows and other people.  She soooo many designs choice one and when she does new one she keeps photo record of them.
I had try restrain myself Wyndeboo from keep buying.  Maine has alot great homemade foods & Artists. I want send pickled fiddleheads but is not as popular with rainy spring the fiddle harvest was limited!
On Whoopie thats Grammie's restaurant novelity.  All food homemade & tastie serve in large huge portions.  As sample Ice cream puff has alone a quart ice cream inside.  I love watch newbie eye bug out on portions. Its not uncommon see couples order one meal and share special if you save room giant deserts as well.
On best Festivals is held in Bangor call Folks festival in Aug.  has lot varity Mainers homemade products. 
  Did I forgot ship you CM Baby Seaflower? 

[BabiChuld]

[LadySatine]

[Lady Starflower]

[SeashellnBubbles]

Wowee! That's one HUGE brag!! But...i have to ask...what is "whoopie pie"? I fear in canada "whoopie" means something very different...

[brighteyes]

Wowee! That's one HUGE brag!! But...i have to ask...what is "whoopie pie"? I fear in canada "whoopie" means something very different...

It's like a soft cookie sandwich with frosting in the middle.  Really yummy!

I will be watching brag thread.  Such an interesting swap!

[Mareacooda]

Wowee! That's one HUGE brag!! But...i have to ask...what is "whoopie pie"? I fear in canada "whoopie" means something very different...

Its basic a disc like two cake to cookie texture ( come all flavors) and with frost type filling.   In our area squash/ pumpkins plain or choco chips disc with plain cream cheese like frosting is very popular other classic.

Whoopies can come all sizes on I ship to Wydeboo is 3lb that very popular @ local restraints.  They start to make a blond one which like (Bismark donut).
