Bartering is still being done today. In fact, our families have been bartering services good and other items, without even realizing it. I made my first crocheted throw to barter with another farmgirl. I'm amazed at the talents of this woman. I sew, but don't really enjoy it, and have not mastered the art of it. I am thrilled to be able to barter with her for our homemade aprons, which I'll post pictures of later. Here is the first item I made for her.
We all have talents. I think most of us are afraid to commit to it, take time for it, or lack confidence in our work. I challenge you all to barter one homemade or handmade item this month.
What a beautiful throw! Looking forward to seeing your aprons soon, too!
