| I got a really nice box from bizzo! I will post pics later. DH has to help me get them uploaded and posted.
I received a really pretty plate in the shape of a flower with blue flowers on it with matching cups! Perfect for outside or summer entertaining. I also received two local cookbooks. One from Mystic called Saltwater Foodways and the other is Connecticut Farmer and Feast: Harvesting Local Bounty. It is all about the Connecticut farmers markets. I haven't had a chance to read either of them, yet, but I hope to this week. Thank you so much, Bizzo, for making my swap such a memorable one. I haven't participated in years so it was a nice comback. My box to my swap partner is on its way. I do hope it won't take the slow boat. |

| Wow! I'm so glad it got there, and hope nothing got mangled! I had so many grand ideas for you, but shipping overseas I tried to keep it simple and non-breakable and a little lighter weight! yes, I know books aren't light, but they are lighter than pottery or glassware and much sturdier!! I really hope you like the cookbooks! I bought them both at a bookstore in Mystic and they definitely reflect a bit of the part of the world I live in now... Enjoy!! |

| Lovely swap box! Lisa, hope you truly enjoy it and Bizzo, congratulations! You done good! |
|
| I was offline for three days so it took me a while to get back to exchanges. The box got there sooner than I expected ! Sorry, Lisa, Or I would've responded last Monday! I didn't take pictures, but since I'm not sure if Lisa will be able to as it's been several days, I'm going to share a link to the other cookbook as well... I liked the photos and stories in this one, I hope Lisa will, too! |

| Beautiful cookbook cover! Looking forward to pictures of the cups and plates. |

| I would say that you nailed it Bizzo. I'm looking forward to Lisa's pictures. But in the meantime, I'm admiring that cookbook cover. Farmer and Feast - what a great title. If the cover is anything to go by, that must be one amazing cookbook. Ann |

| Everything on that cookbook cover is so perfect and delicous looking. And Saltwater Seaways sounds fascinating. It's a lovely selection of America for Lisa. I hope we get to see the plate and cups too. Lee |
