WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!

| My swap box arrived today, Dave had it waiting for me on the table when I got home from work. I knew as soon as I looked at the address it was from doucanoe, and a big smile spread across my face! It is so special to get a box from someone you actually "know"! (thanks Ann)
Linda chose a lovely off-white bowl that will be perfect with my dishes and other serving pieces. The colour and shape are so flexible, it will go with anything and get lots of use.
The cookbook she sent is from the Gunflint trail, which is an area in NE Minnesota, kind of inbetween her place and mine (tho we live about 6 hrs apart!) It has lots of stories and recipes from lodges along the trail and the folks who run them. It looks like a good read.
Her choice is a Rachel Ray 2 in 1 kitchen towel/pot holder. It looks really neat and I do need another oven mitt so this will work fine.
Finally she included a little gift pack of shower gel, lotion, lipgloss and scrubbie. You will notice the lip gloss has already gone to dance class and the rest of the stuff is out of the package as it has used within 5 min of opening!
Thank you so much Linda. This was really special treat.
Hope to see you again soon.
Janet

| That bowl is beautiful! I'm sure you'll use it for all kinds of delicious things. :) I'll be interested to see what you think of the oven mitt/towel thingie. From the picture on the package, it would be really nice for pouring big pots of pasta into a colander. Enjoy your lovely gift, Linda did very well! Bri |

That dish is great! The cookbook does look like and interesting read, and I am sure there are lots of wonderful recipes in it. Haven't seen the Rachael Ray pot holder/towel before, looks like it could have a great many uses.
Wonderful swap package, and you're right..how special to get one from someone you know. Enjoy! Shelley |

| I like the shape of the serving dish. I think it would be better for a buffet table than a round one. Of course, I love regional cookbooks. The towel thingy is neat. Good job Linda! |

| Janet that "moppine" thing is cool. I use my dish towel for an oven mitt all the time and also wipe up spills with the hot pads, so this has it all covered. Love the dish. The handles are so pretty along with the flowers. You can use that many ways. The cookbook is very nice. I agree that the regional cookbooks are fun. Nice work from another of my former swappies to one of my former swappies! I cherish the glass bowl and silver spoon I got from Linda. Janet -- check your email. |

| Beautiful swap package - the serving dish looks like it will come in handy tomorrow! Regional cookbooks are great - and we always called a moppina everything from a napkin to a dish towel....-maria |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!

| Oh yes, that's a beautiful dish and the color will go with nearly anything so I think it'll have a lot of uses. I just love cookbooks, all cookbooks, so as far as I'm concerned you just can't go wrong with a cookbook, especially a local or regional one. Add me to the list of people who are always using a dish towel for a pot holder, mostly because I keep catching my pot holders on fire, LOL. Can't have too many of those! Very nice choices, Linda, and I'll bet Chance agrees too. Little girls just love that lipgloss. Annie |

| I use dish towels for hot pads more than hotpads/potholders..That thing is a great idea! Lip gloss is the BOMB and Chance knows that already! |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!

| Lip gloss is the bomb! Linda, that was very sweet of you to think of Chance. I love that moppin/dishtowl. Great idea. The bowl is my favorite in this package. Just the right size for many things. Enjoy! |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!
| | |
| Great package! I've never heard of the Gunflint Trail, but please share some recipes from the book! |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!
| | |
| How Great! I can't wait to hear more about that cookbook... I'm going to have to google it :-) Nice swap!! |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!

| The dish is lovely, Janet....nice that it will go with everything. Cookbook looks interesting, too. RR was on some TV show this morning using her moppine. I may have to look for one next time I'm in town. The lip gloss etc. was a nice touch, Linda. |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!

| What a lovely serving dish, I just love the shape and the detail. It will be gorgeous on your table or even with fruit etc. The cookbook sounds like something I would love, I'd be heading to the tub with it! How nice too to remember Chance, she is such a doll, I bet she was more excited than you! |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!
| | |
| Oh I am so glad the bowl arrived intact! I was so nervous about it breaking en route! I am very happy you like it all, Janet, and I was pretty sure Chance woud like her "little something", too! It was alot of fun shopping for you! Linda |

| Beautiful bowl!--love the shape -- good choice Linda. And regional cookbooks are sure fun-- is it from an area you canoe thru Linda? Potholder/towel should be handy as heck ,Janet. "Hi Chance !!! " |
RE: WANTED: My friend Linda is a sweetie!
| | |
| I'll pass on the lip gloss..LOL! Love the serving dish/bowl and I'm another fan of regional cookbooks. Add me to the list who can always use another towel or two in the kitchen. Great swap box Linda!! I know Chance will enjoy it all! David |

| I've also never heard of the Flintridge Gun Trail, I mean Gunflint Trail (I had to scroll back up to get the real name, but somehow I remembered it as Flintridge!). What's that about? Sounds interesting! The bowl is gorgeous, and the towl looks extremely practical. Great job! Lars |

| That bowl is stunning. And one can never have enough towels. Can't wait to see some recipes! |
