. . . only 247 left to go!

After posting incessantly on Freecycle and Craigslist, I finally got an e-mail from another bartering bride. She got married this May and had 2.5 dozen pint-sized canning jars leftover, along with a bunch of other stuff. The jars were used as candle holders and she glued ribbon around them, but they weren’t heavily glued, so it’ll be easy to take off.

Michael and I spent an hour with her and her husband on Sunday, teaching them the basics of the waltz in exchange for two boxes of her leftover wedding items – ribbons, vases, votives, floral picks, etc. A lot of the items are things that I’ll be giving away (or bartering away!), but it was definitely a worthwhile barter.

Only 247 canning jars left to find! The hunt continues . . .
