Description:

This swap is a scavenger hunt for 10 items from your local thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets or wherever you love thrifting. You get to go shopping with this list and look for each of the ten items listed to send to your swap partner. :)

Go out and find:

1.One vintage box (this could be a cigar box, a vintage tin box, a school supply box, a lunch box, a jewelry box...any box, hopefully not to big for easy shipping)

2.A vintage postcard

3.Something with embroidery on it (hanky, napkin, pillowcase, table scarf....etc)

4.A potholder, preferably handmade.

5.A collection of 20 buttons

6.funky eye glasses

7.A collection of 5 misc. game pieces (could be playing cards, dice, marbles, jacks, dominoes, scrabble letters...etc)

8.Something small and metal...your choice

9.One piece of Vintage jewelry - not spendy, just something fun!

10.Something you think your partner would like - from checking out their profile.

I'm hoping this will be a fun shopping project, hopefully no one spends more than $10, but I won't make it a restriction..just a suggestion.(the shipping will be on top of that)

I hope this isn't too intimidating. It's a fun reason to go to the thrift stores! Let me know if you have any suggestions, or things I could do differently to make sure this is a fun swap :)

I could do with the dates being a little further away. I'd like to see if I can find some of these things first before I sign up, with only five days to go I won't have time.

I can change the dates to give us more time :)

Snoopy 04/15/2009 #

Okay, I just changed the dates to give us more time. I hope that helps out :) An extra 5 more days till it begins and then 3 full weeks before the swap is due. I hope this helps

this is so cool :) vintage just looks "old" right ?

Snoopy 04/18/2009 #

Well, vintage should be about 20 years old, soooo ....officially 3 of the items should be old..postcard, box & jewelry.

We can only guess really, soo if it looks old that's probably a good sign ;)

I am a bargain shopper but It will be VERY difficult to do this for under 10 dollars...it will still be alot of fun!

You are so right! I ended up going over :) but I think my partner will have fun!
