Description:

Once again have fun with this shopping in thriftstores. If you find something at a garage sale which we all know eventually stuff ends up in a thriftstore then by all means get it. Price is not the object here, just clean, not smelly, cracked, or chipped. Checking a profile is a good idea in case there is something a swapper wants or collects but not necessary if you like it. Going with newbies again as I have had good results and everyone needs a chance. This is USA because of postage. Please try to send before or on send date as I go through all the names and profiles and it can get long but I want everyone to receive their swap. I will ban if I feel your rating deserves that. Prefer no 1,s in the last 6 months without telling why. Try not to be late please and enjoy. Questions? PM me. One swapper USA Newbies okay will filled out profile,not just a sentence.

I was going to do this for only two years but everyone likes this and the followers are almost the same so here goes for another year.

This is one of my favorite swaps! I had a great swap last time. I sent my partner an Italian food cookbook along with some brand new recipe cards I found. My partner sent me a ton of gorgeous items. Cannot wait to do it again!

ladydy5 03/ 4/2012 #

Just remember sometimes it all depends!

BeckyG56 03/ 4/2012 #

My experience has been 50-50 but I enjoy trying to find something for my partner,and when I receive something that I really like,its worth the times that I haven't! Thanks @ladydy5 for your committment to this swap!

topshelf43 03/ 6/2012 #

I thoroughly enjoyed this last time as well! Got a great envie from my partner, and even though I REALLY put a lot of thought and time into finding something for my partner, and still didn't get a heart, I had fun doing it. So maybe I can do better for my partner next time!

ladydy5 03/ 7/2012 #

topshelf, just remember the rules are just a 5 rating if they send. You may have put thought in it and sent something really nice but the person you sent it to did not get that feeling because feelings can not be seen. Just know you did a fabulous job for your swapper. To me finding something "special" is a heart as you don't have to get something listed in their profile if you can't find itl.

cerenaleigh 03/ 8/2012 #

I didn't even get rated for mine! lol I'd gladly take a 5 with no heart over nothing!

ladydy5 03/ 8/2012 #

Cerenaleigh contact swapper and ask her to rate. I feel I must say this. I have one person in some of my swaps with a 4.7. Read her profile if you are worried about this rating. She is doing great. If it bothers u don't sign up. I am giving her a chance so she can bring up that rating. Same with newbies, I stated I will check them out carefully too..

ladydy5 03/ 8/2012 #

I also stated "no 1's in past 6 mms. If you read why then maybe u will understand if I don't ban that one. It is my decision I mentioned "without telling me why". In 2 yrs., I have had 2 or 3 with good ratings flake and their swapper gets angelled.

Would love to join. I am a newb, though I signed up in Nov, but had trouble logging in and then got sick. Yuck! :/- Would love to join if possible, but understand if not.

dukono 03/ 9/2012 #

@cerenaleigh --I am glad you liked your stuff:) I still have another little package to send you with the Angel I forgot in the first one:)

failjolesfail 03/11/2012 #

Is there a price min/max on this?

ladydy5 03/11/2012 #

No max nor min. As of today all participants look good, newbies included.

bywhitney 03/12/2012 #

Darn, I would so love to do a swap like this if it were international!

sherig47 03/13/2012 #

How many items are u to send? Will sign up in a few days after I send one of my swaps out I have signed up for the Max am a newb I am having so much fun swapping that I'm signing up for several swaps :-) .

ladydy5 03/14/2012 #

sherig47: You can send one or several it is up to you and how you want to do it. We have very generous swappers in this swap and we have limited finances for others and it all works out well. Have fun with it mostly.

StarGazer63 03/15/2012 #

This will be my second thrift store swap. I can't wait to get my partner and send my findings to her!

KristinaLynn 03/16/2012 #

I'm excited to go shopping tomorrow or sunday! Love this swap!

cerenaleigh 03/16/2012 #

I got in contact with her and she thought she had rated me. Very excited for next round!

ladydy5 03/16/2012 #

cerenaleigh that must have been for the other swap #24, right? that she forgot to rate youl.

ladydy5 03/23/2012 #

One more week to send date, well a couple of days more than a week. Just a reminder, you know I always remind.

ladydy5 03/27/2012 #

I cannot believe 40 have not marked as sent yet and 4 days till send date. Come on swappers don't disappoint.

RebeccaLynn 03/28/2012 #

I usually send as soon as I get my partner, but this one I want it to be extra special, so I may not get it sent out until just a couple days before the send date. maybe that's what other people are doing too? I wouldn't start worrying too much yet. :)

HeatherannB 03/28/2012 #

I'm sending on Saturday!

ladydy5 03/30/2012 #

25not shown as sent. Now that worries me as I hate disappointing anyone. Tomorrow is send date and if late pls contact your swapper as a courtesy.

sheudo 03/31/2012 #

I sent mine this morning.

ladydy5 04/ 1/2012 #

There are 14 not shown sent and they are all five ratings, which I know they will send. If not, I may be looking for a good soul to angel someone. PM me if you want to be on my sweet angel list for this swap or any of my thriftstore swaps each month. Thanks

XxMySweetShadowxX 04/ 1/2012 #

Mine was sent yesterday morning, but I completely forgot to mark my swap as sent...until now! :P

ladydy5 04/ 4/2012 #

Five (5) have not sent yet or have not marked as sent. I have messaged a lot of you and you forgot to mark it sent so please understand why I message you when you are late. The 5 out of 72 is very good but would be so much nicer if no one got left out of this swap, even me.

ladydy5 04/ 5/2012 #

I believe I got flaked on. Any one want to angel to poor me? We may need a couple more too

StarGazer63 04/ 5/2012 #

Why do people sign up for these swaps if they have no intention on following through with them? I most always sends mine out within the first couple of days after the swap starts. As soon as I sign up for a swap I start searching for items to pass along. Gees, it's not that hard to do. I hope you plan on banning the flakers from any more swaps you may have ladydy5

ladydy5 04/ 6/2012 #

Flakers are on my list believe me.

ladydy5 04/ 6/2012 #

Believe me I sent a few days ago and clicked the oops button in this description box by mistake. I just want you all to know I DO SEND MY SWAPS.

ladydy5 04/12/2012 #

Now it is 4 out of 72, not bad but awful not to receive.

mcovey 04/30/2012 #

I will angel send me info
