Akin to Anne: a gift for your bosom friend

"Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world."

~ Anne of Green Gables

In this swap, you are invited to send your partner a small but lovely gift inspired by Anne. Whether you choose to send a beautiful book of poems, a lock of your jet-black tresses (well...perhaps not), a pair of vintage kid gloves, or even a doll dressed in puffed sleeves, the possibilities are endless.

Your gift may be handmade, clean thrifted, or store-bought, it doesn't matter--as long as it's a thoughtful gift that is related to the books in some way, and something you'd be happy to receive. It does not need to be a pricey item, as it's the thought that counts here. This gift should not be just an item that has an image of Anne on it--it should be an item she might have used or liked to receive. Please enclose a note to your partner explaining why you chose the item, and perhaps how you found it as well.

You will have one month to put together your package, although really, since it's sender's choice, you could start thinking about it now. Your Anne gift should arrive in early November--which is perfect since it's L.M. Montgomery's birthday at the end of the month. Happy swapping!

All members in good standing may participate in this exchange. By joining this swap, you pledge to follow through with your commitment and to faithfully communicate with your partner if there is any delay. And please--be sure to rate your partner promptly upon receipt!
