WANTED: Your wanted list for the Upstate Plant Swap
Q

Jeff, the swap itself begins promptly at 2 pm, but I'm hearing many people are arriving earlier, some with food in tow. It is located at the Lake Cunningham Recreational Facility where I have reserved the covered area for the day. This park is on N McElhaney, right near the intersection of N McElhaney and Rte 101 (behind the fire station). Here are the original rules I established to help keep things from being totally chaotic: 1. If you bring one plant, you take home one plant. If you bring two, you take two, etc. 2. Houseplants, annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables, shrubs, trees, vines (did I miss anything?) are all welcome. Seeds or cuttings can be swapped for other seeds or cuttings. 3. I prefer to separate the live plants into "swap rounds". Each person will put one plant into the "round", and numbers will be drawn to see who gets first, second, third, etc pick of that round. New numbers will be chosen each round so the same person doesn't always go first. If you brought only 3 plants, you can only be part of three "rounds". This may not be the way you have done it before, but I'm appealing to you to humor me and try it my way. 4. Since I don't want to keep everyone for hours, I'm limiting the live plant "rounds" to 6. We can swap seeds/cuttings in rounds after, if needed. 5. Please schedule your personal trades for a time that does not conflict with the actual swap. I believe the park is open sun-up to sundown. The Plants: * Please make every attempt to label the plant with its latin name, including the variety. Plastic cutlery or popsicle sticks work great for this if you use a Sharpie. * Please bring plants that are free of bugs, disease and/or weeds. * Please remember to water the plants thoroughly the night before, not the day of the swap. This will help prevent muddy messes. Sandi

Great theme for a swap package! Love the homemade fortune cookies, which make your package that much more special. Your spices look wonderful, five spice is a favorite of mine. Your casserole dish is beautiful and you will defiantely get a lot of use out of it. Enjoy your chinese themed package! Shelley

Stacy, You made the apron & the towels? How lovely! I can't even stitch a straight line. They're beautiful and I agree, the patches on the towels look like fruit crate labels (which I love). I'm loving the bowls (of course) and the canisters too...the canisters remind me of the kinds they used to show with the old Hoosier cabinets. (sherry, I hope that you opened those canisters up outside & shook them out really well. That fertility dust is invisible, you know). I just realized that nearly everything in that box had multiplied! Eek! Nina

Okay, DS is down the street mowing lawns. My phone rings--it's him calling from his cell phone. DS: "Mom? Don't get excited, but the UPS truck is down the street." Me: "Really? Where is he?" DS: "4 houses down, delivering a package." Me: "Oh, I hope I won't have to answer the door, I'm still in my robe!" (frantically runs to bedroom to throw on sweats) DS: "Wait! Here comes FedEx! And another UPS truck!" Me: "Nuh-Uh!" DS: "No, just kidding! Wait, now he's getting back in the truck." (Sound of truck rumbling to life) DS: "He's driving, he's driving.... Oh, sorry Mom, he's going on past." Me: "Rats!" (chants to self: Good things come to those who wait, good things come to those who wait..) :) ~finally

I love square cake plates!! And the pot is great.

I don't have a Nigella cookbook, but I'm sure it will be a good fit with your new accessories.

I'm so sorry Lori, but I'm having problems with my computer right now. I have been trying to post all the pics and its just not working. My computer has gone really slow for some reason. I think there's something wrong with my keyboard or mouse. Anyways I just love everything that you sent to me. The pot is something else!!! I can't wait to use it. The cookbook has every recipe that one will need the rest of their life. Thank you so much!!!! It was worth the wait!!!LOL Thank you once again!!! Diana55 P.S...I will try to post another pic......I hope it works
Yes see there not posting right. There must be something wrong with my mouse.

Other than being rather large, I think your photos are just fine, Diana! That cake plate is too cool! Love the pot, too, that green is great.

I have never tried a "Nigella recipe", nmaybe we could persuade you to post a few once you try them?

Great swap pkg... love the pot color and you'll put the cookbook to good use, I'm sure. That's a really neat cake plate and would be nice even with just fruit in it. Great display piece.

Diana, I have a cordless keyboard and mouse...they start acting really funky when the batteries are getting low, like they have a mind of their own!

I'm GREEN with envy over that fabulous pot (hehe) and that cake stand is really unique, you usually don't see square ones.

Great job Birthday girl and enjoy Diana!

Wow, is right! How beautiful! Both the pot and the cake stand has some gorgeous, funky shapes and colors. What lovely accents for the kitchen and the table. (I love those cake stands that split into two elements) Let us know what you think of the Lawson book -- I leafed thru it in the store and love what I've seen.

Great choices, Lori; now you can relax, diane!

Lori, that is such a great swap package. You really came through on this one and found items that seem to fit Diana perfectly. Although I don't think anyone could complain about enameled cast iron, or the book or...

Great job!!

Wow, excellent swap package! Love the green of that pot, and I've been curious about Nigella Lawson's cookbooks. That cake plate does look totally multi-functional.

Enjoy your goodies, Diana!

wow, I also like the color of that pot, and the cake stand is beautiful.

I've only seen Nigella Lawson a couple of times, but how can "Food to Celebrate Life" be anything but wonderful?

Yay Lori! What a great swap package. I have seen springform square pans lately--the cake stand is what they are perfect for! I love that it comes apart--multi purpose!

I would love to hear how the cookbook is. I have heard of Nigella Lawson, but not made any of her recipes. Let us know your favorite!

Happy Spring Diana--that pot color is perfect for spring and for today--St. Patrick's Day. You can always wear it as a hat to keep from getting pinched ;)

I'd have a hard time picking my favorite from this super box. I love it all. Glad you FINALLY received your package Diana, I was getting worried about you. If you decide to wear that pan as a hat....wait until Halloween....you can go to the party as a Pothead!! LOL!
Great package Lori!!

Oh, Diana, I'm so glad you like it. Your package has a funny story behind it. When i shipped it, they never asked for payment...and I never realized that until a few days later. I called to pay for it (so you wouldn't have to! LOL) The woman got into an argument with me on the phone insisting it had already been paid for, but instead wanted to collect because the package had somehow got valued at $300. Anyway, that's why it was delayed, and that's why it says COD on it. My apologies. I was embarrassed that they were asking you to pay for your swap box!

And that cake plate...I think i'm going to go back to the store and pick one up for myself. But what's even better, if you take the top off, place it on the counter, and take the stand off and cover it...voila, a tagine!

I had fun shopping for you, Diana. I hope you use everything in good health!

Thats the postal system for you!!!LOL
