Hi All!

I am hosting a new swap.  The theme is May Flowers.  Participants will be paired with a partner at the end of the sign up period.  The item(s) to send will be the senders choice - anything with a floral theme such as flowery stationery, flower seeds or bulbs, floral clothing items/ linens, flower patterned home decor, flowered jewely, etc., etc.  Please limit the price of your item(s) to $10.00.  Sign-ups will close on Wednesday, May 14.  Partners will be posted on  May 15 with the idea that the swapping will be completed by the end of May.

Any questions, let me know.  Please PM me with your address if you are interested in joining.

Have a great day!

Fleur (which is French for "Flower")smiley

Thank you for your interest in this new swap!  There are seven of us.  I have posted who sends to who at the top of the thread and I will PM each of you.  Please post when you send and receive your flowery items.  Also it's nice if you PM the tracking number to the recipient.  smiley

The state flower of Pennsylvania is the mountain laurel (kalmia latifolia), which was designated as such in 1933.

It is known for its beautiful pinkish-white flowers and is native to the eastern United States.
