Hello and Welcome from Covington!

mswilmore 07-29-2010 03:16 PM

I am sooooo happy to have met all of you.I even had a volunteer offer to send me some some fabric so that I may make my children a few things to wear, and lets not get started on the fact that I will need bedding so quilting isn't far behind. I lost everything in my house fire but I have kept up a small flea market booth on the side where I make gourmet bath and body products from shampoo (Paraben free!), conditioner, massage oil, lotions, scrumptious bath salts and hand pour candles, oh and don't forget organic soap created from essential oils and homemade incense sticks and cones. Well I really could use all the fabric (Either for clothing or quilting) that I can get, living in a rural area, fabric is hard to come by. So I offer any of my homemade precious goodies to trade for any kind of fabric. The catch is, you let me create the goodie return box (You can specify what fragrances you don't like) because it will be overwhelming to try to do specifics. I can also offer herds such as high quality organic lavender flowers you can use in making eye pillows. I have chamomile, jasmine, and about 100 more...lol, the quality is good enough to use as a tea drink. So I have candles, soap, bath salts, massage oil, body butter, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and freshly dried herbs, over 40 scents of incense sticks, pure essential oils, and top quality uncut fragrance oils to trade for fabric. I could use solids, I like anything Asian or Japanese, and I especially like girly girl stuff because I have twin 2 yr old daughters. PM me for my address and send me your info and what you hope your goodie box will contain (Hey you might prefer candles and oils over soap) and let me prepare a special treat for you for helping me out. Of course I will be the one paying it forward in the future, but I also want to payback because true generosity deserves a little treat. :) Thank you for hearing me out and I hope to hear from you!
