Swap talk
Lets talk Swap, Last night I hosted my first clothing swap. I invited everyone to bring a bag of clothes they don’t wear and take home a bag that they will, with the leftovers going to charity. I was really happy with the turn out. Only about half the people that RSVP’d actually attended and we were still pretty much out of room, so that was kind of a good thing. I think for the next swap we will need a bigger location. I had never hosted or been to a swap before, I was totally winging it, originally I had planed to do the sorting myself, but everyone was coming in with multiple bags. We had the tables marked and had everyone sort their own stuff so they could also check out all the other goodies. Then we asked everyone grab a bag and fill it with items they loved (I’ll do a post on my items tomorrow). In the end we had 9 ginormous trash bags filled and ready to donate to the Abby House and even raised some money to benefit American Diabetes Association.

I hope everyone had a good time and got some fabulous clothes. I will definitively plan another swap soon, If you have a location suggestion or an item you like to donate please get in touch with me. I just wanted to thank Tush, Giovanelli Italian Market, Sweet and Neil and Crystal for the generous donations for our raffle.
It’s on the list of my “Blogs I visit” hehe* I really want to host a Swap Party too, it seems like so much fun ;P
