Hi, This is my first swap as a coordinator! I just love Swap-Bot and I hope you enjoy this challenge! OPEN TO USA ONLY! I love looking through thrift stores and finding fun little treasures!~ The challenge is to find the following items at your local thift store, Thift Store Scavenger Hunt! * A package of Stationary or Cards * A Craft Item * A pair of earrings * The strangest thing you can find for under $1.00! * Something on your partners list you think they would like, for under $3.00 ** Hearts for extra fun and cool items!

Total amount can be under $8.00, but no cap here! ** Tag from thrift store you purchasing it at MUST stay on item ( actual price can be marked out!) Open to Newbies and persons with good swap standing. Newbies must have completed profile and email me before signing up!

Yahoo! Thrift stores are the best.

OMG...I wish I saw this yesterday! I'm kicking myself, now. I wandered into Goodwill and they had the cutest little vase that was HAND-BLOWN GLASS! No knicks, scratches, perfect condition with the little pontill mark on the bottom.

It probably won't be there today! But, this is a great idea for a swap! :)

Sounds like fun but some of the thrift stores by me don't use tags they just have little price stickers that they take off when you go to check out. will a sales slip for the item do?

enakitty 01/21/2008 #

the thrift store in my town doesn't use price tags

fun idea though

dharmarain 01/21/2008 #

THats fine if there are no tags, a reciept would work you can just black it out!!

Sounds like fun but not enought time and $ to do this swap for me right now. If you do another one let me know. di brittain.

This sounds like so much fun!!! The thrift store I go to most often just marks the price on the bottom with a grease pencil--it is easy to wipe off (usually), but is it OK to leave it on there?--I like for others to see how good my bargains are!!!LOL

Ok just one question. You said something on your partners list, do you use their profile for the item? Or do they list things here? Thanks sittermom

dharmarain 01/25/2008 #

Sure grease pen is fine

dharmarain 01/25/2008 #

No it doesnt have to be something on your partners list, just get the items on the list.

boopgirly 01/26/2008 #

Your swap reads "something on your partners list you think they would like, for under $3.00" Is that 5 things that are required of this swap or 4?

dharmarain 01/26/2008 #

A Total of 5 items

dharmarain 01/26/2008 #

Sorry, my email address has changed, if someone was trying to email me, I am back!!

I just wanted to note that my ears are not pierced so you will need to send clip-ons

cat 01/30/2008 #

or sticker earrings :) i always loved those... (hard to imagine you could find at a thrift store but hey)

TO MY PARTNER... The only jewelry I don't wear is earrings. But I loooooove gaudy rings. I wear a size 8 ring but if you find an adjustable ring...THIS WOULD BE THE GREATEST EVER! Or if you don't see an adjustable ring, you can always get a necklace of any sort. I love necklaces too! Some people "throw away" or send to Goodwill some pretty cool jewelry that "Grandma use to wear." I love it all...oh I forgot, I love vintage bracelets too.

I just don't wear earrings at all. Thanks so much!

NorthernBorder 02/ 1/2008 #

Dear Swap Partner, "Strange" is one of my favorite words :-) I prefer large non-dangly earrings, clip-on or pierced. Thanks! -M

Sage 02/ 4/2008 #

I am really excited about this swap!

To my swap partner: I really don't wear earrings but I would love a necklace or pin instead :)

cat 02/10/2008 #

on the off-chance that my partner hasn't yet gotten my swap ready --i'll just say that i too prefer other jewelery to earrings. thanks!

I sent my package to my partner yesterday. This was so much fun to do :) I cant wait to get my goodies from my partner in the mail!
