Amazonarabian and I did a private swap with a theme of "local things". The idea was to explore some local shops and small businesses to find fun things you can't find elsewhere. I've got to say, she NAILED it!

loginAmazonarabian hails from New York, but recently moved from Alaska. She did a thoughtful mixture of both places! I got some amaaaazing smoked salmon and salmon chowder, what! I never expected fish in a box, but I couldn't be happier, I've never had any of this before!
We talked at length about her adventures in Alaska and I learned she's a super amazing cool dog musher. My knowledge of the 1925 serum run didn't extend much past the movie "Balto", and she was kind enough to provide me with a great book to remedy that. I've learned so much already!
She also sent some delicious locally made brownie crisps that I've had to hide from my husband and shortbread NY Taxi cookies that had a woefully short life in my hands.

loginAnd the ponies! She styled them beautifully and everything! She even took the time to make me an amazing custom (which I hope she brags about in the customs forum). It's the most adorable opposum pony I've ever seen in my life.
I'm sure the ONLY opposum pony, ever, and it's MINE!
I have no pictures for the biggest brag of this swap: I gained an amazing pony friend that I've had such a great time exchanging messages and stories with. I'm so very glad to call her "friend"!
