Here's a little bit about me: DH (25 yrs) & I sold nearly everything we owned and moved 1000 miles away to FL. We've been starting over from scratch for about a yr. I shop yard sales and antique stores for a "rustic luxe" style with earth tone colors. I prefer natural materials over plastic, well made vintage over new fangled, old shows over the current trash, you get the idea. I'm glad to see macramé making a comeback. I love homemade soap. I love wax warmers and a variety of scents. I use local wildlife as a "theme"...birds, ducks, frogs, etc. I have a succulent fetish. I just discovered polymer clay. My two favorite treats are dark chocolate and dark roast coffee (I'm with Julie on this one!). I like large tunic tops that cover my fat arms! I'm usually barefoot but love comfy sandals or flip flops (8 wide). I love to be creative. I love to fish. My favorite color is sage green. I need low light houseplants. My house is ruled by an old Schipperke and a young Blue Heeler! My DH is my gardening partner. LOL...ok, that's more than just a "little"!
I love unusual plants. About full up on succulents at this time though. Altho I will make an exception for living stones. I always enjoy a few to kill. Maybe one day I will find out how not to murder them. I want so BAD a grosso lavender plant!
I collect souvenier spoons. Do not buy on site as they are too expensive. I watch for them in thrift stores,etc.
Love chocolate, dark or not, plain light roast coffee. Love all kinds of sweets. No hot or spicy things.
Like old books about gardening. Like old mags like country living, southern living,things like that.
Have plenty of candles right now.
I am sure there are other things, but i like so many things, you could hardly miss.
I "love" Alabama football. Anything bama. Big Al is my hero, i love frogs gnomes angels, fairies, hummingbirds, dragonflies, dogs, justabout any animal. I love smelly candles, yarn to crochet with, and love to fish. I also love going to church. I drink columbian coffee, love chocolate, but am on a diet. i love to garden and can. NMy beta fish just laid eggs. what do I do?
Here's what I found on the net:

Nope...I'm a Libra. 25th of this month! I don't mind flags, but they're usually just too "cute" for my taste. I don't do anything that depicts snow either...just looks weird down here! Plus, I'm simply over that stuff. There's some things I miss about the north, but snow isn't one of them!
jax doesn't want to come out and play. she is tramatized
I hate to say but I need to drop out. Darn. But I've over extended my self and have soo much I need to get caught up on Sorry...maybe next year... Please forgive.. Kathy

I've updated my post to add more ideas for me as I hadn't really given any previously :)
Sorry to see we're losing people, but I know how life can be!
I love sedums succulents and daylilies (evergreen and semi evergreen). Cute animals, gnomes, fairies, etc that hang off the side of pots. Metal art. Mini watering cans, cherubs, angels, I have four cats and three dogs so please don't send me any more LOL!
I'll think of more later.

After I finish the swaps I'm already doing, I'll probably have to wait for the Christmas swap before I join anymore! Still doing fairy swap, Sept, Daylily, Thoughts of You, Gourmet, and Oct. plant swap if Deejay does it! Whew! Plus Queen of the Month. So, come November, I have to save up for Christmas swap!
hey thar, heaven! dont beez sending no swap cops after moi! I still beez traumatized! an ya kno why!!!! an i did thank big sis, even tho she did not have to................but that beez how sisters are.........yes indeedy!
I've been worried about you Jax.
Sorry to drop out but I still have almost 900 plants to get in the ground before the end of October this year....(already had our first snow the other day). Seems like I put things off for too long and now I'm trying to get the ground ready..... So maybe next year I can get in on this trade. Hate to back out but... Kathy
Pix is new area in the back I'm working on....
Wow, Kathy, you will be busy. Hope the snow holds off until you can get some things done.
Yay, getting names soon!
I'm also sorry I had to drop, but Money shortage here after Paying My Summer taxes even last summer taxes they say I forgot to pay Ouch ,they are now paid . so I will watch you all have a great time here :)
Next Month is our Holloween Fun & I have been working on the new thread for that one .

Sorry we're losing you Elfie. I hope you're okay.
Deejay and Elfie, we will miss you!
I guess I'd better put up my own eccentricities.
Mostly, I like purple: violet, lavender, lilac, periwinkle.... Also magenta, coral, salmon, and lime green. Nothing golden- or mustard-yellow. Butter-yellow yes. All blues too.
Also old rusty things, plant tags, old wooden oddities, including objects to put on top of tall wooden obelisks.(that we make).
I like sweets, but nothing with peppers or any hot spice, and no scented products of any kind. Unscented handmade soaps are great.
Seeds are great. Perrenials are too.
Hope that helps my buddy. I am revved up to start thinking of mine!
Could somebody please tell me again how to find the address exchange? I put myself in it, and I've gotten there once, so I know I have access, but I've pushed all the buttons I see but they don't lead me there.
Thank you.
Yes, DeeJay, we will miss you too. I'm sorry any of you had to drop out, but we will still be thinking of you. Ain't that right, jkj?
Turtles, on the home page, click guides and info. when that page loads, go to the far right and click "extras." The address exchange is on that page. Here's the link:
