Swap party.

May 17, 2010 by Michelle Hinckley |

Last Thursday I hosted a swap party.
The premise is you bring 3 items in good condition and get to leave with 3 different items.
Check out some of the loot…


Someone brought this George Forman Grill, never been used, NIB!

We all fought for this sit and ride CAT truck.

I seriously wanted those shoes but they went home with someone else.

If more than one person wanted the same item they put their ticket in a bowl and one name was drawn. If your name didn’t get drawn you had the opportunity to put your ticket on a different item.
At the end of the evening I didn’t get the gray vase that would have been perfect for my entryway (Celeste, you’re on my hit list) but I did score some blue faux gator flip flops, a black leather hand bag and a wrap around skirt.

    First–why have I not been reading your blog? I’ve seen your striped wall several times online but I just discovered “you” tonight. Will definitely be a loyal reader from here on out šŸ™‚

    Second–I love the idea of a swap meet. I have a garage full of accessories and would feel so much better about getting rid of them this way versus a yard sale. Great idea!
