Barter........from farm to city

Bartering is alive and well! at least at Na-Da Farm it is............

Instead of my husband trading his woodworking for a cow, or my hand sewn quilt for my children's education.............

it's jewelry.............

.........just for me.............

in return for a skirt, sewn by me...................

When I first started blogging, and looking around at other's handiwork, I noticed Tracy's sense of style with jewelry...........her art.........her hand made pieces are uniquely beautiful, and I compare them to what I see in Sundance.............except, I'm able to know the artist..........personally........

I first contacted Tracy to tell her how I liked her jewelry........then I decided I want one...........soooo...........I asked her "how does the barter system sound?"......................
and to my surprise, she accepted!

being this was the first time making a skirt for someone outside of my close circle of friends and family, I was a wee bit nervous (to put it lightly)..............God bless her........she lost weight, and the skirt is a little big (better that than the other)..................she seems happy with it......and I am more than thrilled with my end of the deal..................

she even created some drop earings with my favorite turquoise jem inside............and.......an adorable Autumn Greeting sign: and she has many other items she creates...............at her Online Shop...............

Thank you Tracy for this beautiful gift of your art, warmth and creativity....and barter....
