Description:

This is a non-picky 6x9in(min) envelope swap. Vintage craft doodads is the theme... This will be a newbie swap, quick and fun. You must pick at least 5 items (or more) from the list to put in the envie to meet requirements. items must be crafty in nature and vintage by 80's or earlier! You should consider your partners profile, but this is senders choice. You will have 1 partner.

There is not a $$ minimum, but don’t be stingy! The idea is to scavenge you vintage-y craft stock! Extra’s do not always earn heart, but I DO give hearts if time was taken to read my profile and they send stuff I like. But you can't please everyone:(( Not everyone has your exact profile items in their stash. If you would not be happy getting an item from this list please don’t sign up. If you can't use it, pay it forward to someone who can use it! Have fun, be generous and happy swapping!

•1 piece of vintage printed fabric or quilt square 6in sq. minimum (meaning has a pattern, not plain)

•1 12in min. piece of ribbon or lace

•3 buttons

•vintage craft pattern or magazine

•3 pieces vintage ephemera (from old books, magazines, ad, kids books etcetera)

•an interesting old picture

•vintage embroidered, tatted, crochet or knit lacy thing (ie doily)

•vintage greeting card or post card (used or unused)

•5"x8" vintage wrapping paper that is in non torn or crumpled state

•sew on patch or button badge

•5 beads ( can be from a broken necklace, no seed beads)

•2 doodads (chenille pipe cleaner, googly eyes, pincushion, thimble,silk flower)

•5 stickers ( can be vintage puffy, lick em stick ems or paper 80's kiddie stickers!)

•Something you got in another swap that you don’t want or can’t use

•vintage yarn skein ( see if swapper is knitter or crocheter first!)

•A recycled item that you use for crafts, and a quick note/example of how you use it

I will NOT angel if someone flakes, but DO NOT sign up if you don’t have time to do it! I will NOT allow flakes to participate in future swaps. Anyone with a full profile can join if you WILL swap on time! However, if you have any recent 1's or 3's I will be contacting you for an explanation before you will be allowed to stay. I understand that life happens, but flaking will not be tolerated!

Newbies can join if you have a well filled out profile, (likes, dislikes, favorites colors, etc) we all need a chance to get started. This is a USA only swap, to keep shipping cost down, Sorry:(

Ratings: 5 if swap is on time and has 5 or more from the required list. Remember 3 buttons is 1 item! Rate a 3 if arrives but has less than 5 required items. Rate a 1 if doesn’t arrive! Give a heart if they deserve it:))

Don't forget to click the 'sent' link after you have shipped your item. You may have shipped it, but if you don't click the link the host and others think you haven't.

Have fun and Happy Swapping:))
