Description:

I am hosting this swap with permission from @VivaLaDiane

For this swap we will find goodies for a partner around roughly $6 total before shipping. Because international postage is incredibly high these swaps will be US only.

I want these swaps to be successful so the rules are --

Even used, items should be clean.

You must have 100 5 ratings.

You must not have any unresolved negative ratings.

You MUST list below a few of your favorite items to search for in a thrift store, and one or two things you have no use for. Include your tee shirt size if you'd like but jeans are sort of heavy to ship. If you don't list this part below, I will remove you. I don't want anyone trying to guess what you'd like or having to go to your profile, list it here.

I have had to amend the requirements. Though this is a low dollar swap, I have put thought and care into my shopping experiences for my partner. Not everyone has, so I want everyone to enjoy to have a great experience.

Have fun shopping! To make it even better, call a friend to go with you and go out to lunch in between shops!

rubber or acrylic stamps, used postage stamps that are soaked off the paper, larger sized note cards w/envies, anything Shih Tzu related, Snowman items, old dog show catalogs, straw dispenser like they had in diners years ago (where the straw pops up out of the lid), a spirograph, stickers (especially 3-D or layered) Washi tapes,

No clothing/accessories or anything pagan related. Thanks!

Hmmm...I don't think folks have been reading the rating requirements...

I ALWAYS check ratings before assigning partners. If a swapper does not have 100 ratings, they will not be allowed to participate. Simple as that. I am always fair about that.

The very last section of my profile has a thrift store wish list it will give you lots of ideas of what I buy at thrift stores and will simpler to read than writing a whole bunch here.

I wasn't questioning your hosting Margothecat, I was astonished at the people who join a swap without paying attention. :O)

I also have a ton of ideas on my profile, but to follow the swap rules here are some favorites:

Sparkly vintage rhinestone jewelry, broken is fine

Cool bracelets, charm bracelets, giant round bead bracelets in solid colors

Vintage 'cluster' earrings

Bags full of assorted notecards, greeting cards, Xmas cards, vintage especially

Hawaiian souvenirs

Vintage dolls, composite or plasrtc, 'storybook' dolls, and creepy dolls

Anything Halloweeny or Xmassy, the kitschier or glittery-er the better

Bright silk scarves

Old photos

Buttons

Kitschy handmade things

Glass paperweights figurines or candlesticks.

Bags of sewing notions, ribbons or old craft kits. I use the parts in them so even half finished things are fine.

Old postcards of circuses or amusement parks.

Anything about Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch).

stationery sets. paper and matching envies.

Odd shaped glass bottles to melt in my kiln. Tiny old perfume bottles or decanters, things like that. Mobiles. thats what I make with the tiny bottles.

Glass beads of any size but they have to be glass. I dont use plastic. Necklaces with large glass beads melt nicely in my kiln.

pearl, shell or glass buttons. wooden nickel's smashed pennies.

anything from any Worlds fair. silk scarves. I use old scarves to dress dolls.

old music or instruction books I can tear apart for atcs. Please older than 1950s

Cat toys for my kids.

I doubt anyone will find this but a little 2 cup corningware teapot. Mine got broke and its easy to find larger ones but the 2 cup size is what I want. I have the larger size already.

OMG, I am SO sorry! I forgot to do this!! This is really hard, as I have so much "stuff" I am trying not to go into them. :)

2 or more items I am looking for....

small purple plates I can use as candle plates

cute pieces of jewelry, that can be used to make new pieces~

Lid for a 10 inch skillet that MUST have a steam release hole. mine broke~ ;)
