Description:

Do you love to shop at second hand stores?? I do! If you do, I bet you are like me and have more stuff then one person could ever need. The only thing you might need from a second hand store, Is a reason to go shopping at one.

Well I Have That Reason!

I have found that you can find some of the cutest things at second hand stores while looking for items to use in your crafts, one of the cute things I often run across are cute Salt & Pepper shakers.

For this swap you must visit thrift stores in your area and purchase Two (One for each of your Two swap partners) set of very cute, very nice Salt & Pepper shakers.

Now for the bad News.... NO no sends (unless you speak with me first) and you must have a full profile_that inclueds you newbies!! I will angel all no sends But I will not play with you again if you do {if for some bizarre reason beyond your control you can not send CONTACT ME}.

I am setting the sign by date here at the end of november so you can see who your swap partner will be, But I am holding off on the send date till the first part of the new year. So I hope we have a big turn out. And as you can see by the number I am planning to host many more Thrift Store Find swaps ~I am starting at the top and counting Backwards.

I know how busy this time of year can be and money can get tight. But this does not mean you must wait to send out you swap. If you happen to find them right away[or if like me you already have some you have picked up because they were toooo cute] by all means send them out!

This swap is international ** some of the best things are sent from other countries.

These are shakers from a thrift or second hand store so we know they may be used just make sure they are cute, in good shape and something you would not mind recieving and yes it is ok if a cork is missing. Their is no spending limit but since this is a thrift store find do not break the bank{you do not need to send $200.00 frog shaped antique shakers... but if you fill you must you can send them to ME. The FrOg QueEn}

Good Luck Hunting & HAPPY SWAPPING

P.S. If you collect something and would like us to swap it(You MUST be able to find it at a thrift store) let me know in the comments or fell free to contact ME

Wahoo I am excited, but i think my thrift shopping partner will have to take a trip with me ;)

You are sooo right - there's a ton of nice stuff just waiting to be found in thrift shops! I do happen to have some very cute shakers looking for a new home -- perfect swap! :) charlottenc (formerly nonparieldolls)

What a fantastic swap. I love shopping at the thrift store and this is a great idea to shop for a specific thing. I am looking forward to the other thrift store swaps too.

hoppyloo 11/23/2007 #

well i went shopping today..... and because of this swap (it was my only reason for going, wink, wink!) I have bought 2 sets of salt and peppers, a pair of vintage bookends (GOOORgeous!) a Christmas candle holder, also vintage and a vintage pyrex butter dish! So, actually, you guys have cost me a fortune! Hooray for swap bot!!

I went to the thrift store tonight,just looking for some shakers and I founder the cutest....1.... yes only 1 shaker and I was so dissappointed.I wish it could have been both of them.But I found some other cool stuff there so it was not a wasted trip but with me a thrift store never is.I hope there will be more thrift store hosts in the future for sure.

heliogal 11/24/2007 #

I haven't seen that the partners have been assigned. Is it just not showing up for me or have the partners not been assigned yet? Will they be assigned soon? I always look at my partner's profile before I shop.

hoppyloo 11/24/2007 #

I dont think they have been assigned yet. I always look at profiles too.... Im sure that what Ive bought wont necessarily be right...but that will give me another reason to go shopping! :D

CelestialFreak 11/25/2007 #

Any reason to go to a thrift store is cool by me!

hoppyloo 11/27/2007 #

ninanner and ang73, I have posted today from the UK Hope you receive soon!

charlottenc 11/27/2007 #

I've sent a S&P set to hoppyloo and to heliogal. Hope they arrive quickly! :)

Still shopping...

I would love to see a thrift store vinyl record swap (hint hint, lol)

TheFrOgQueEn 12/ 7/2007 #

Great Idea NINA ... I just got a new phonograph for my birthday...DEC 1 and would love some new/used vinyl

I see a new swap comming on............ any other suggestions???? Come on swappers I know you do!

Starwatcher 12/15/2007 #

I found some of the cutest S&P shakers, but when I looked more closely there was a chip on one. What a shame! But that just takes the hunt to the next level - I'm going to start shopping in other towns- I guess the people here hang onto their shakers!

CelestialFreak 12/16/2007 #

Starwatcher: Yeah, me too. I found one pair, but not two. So I got the one, but will need to check some other towns too. That's the joys of living in a tiny town, I have to drive so far to get things sometimes, but as I said before, it doesn't take much to get me to go to a thrift store. ;-)

CelestialFreak 12/16/2007 #

Hint to my partners: I just love S & P shakers so I will treasure anything I get. Just thought I'd mention that I'm fine with really tiny ones, you don't have to go all out for me. and if there is a hairline crack on something you think looks super nice otherwise, I'll probably be fine with it. Half of my collection all have some bit of wear and love on them already anyway. (Plus I like the challenge of matching paint and repairing... ;-)

Ang73 12/17/2007 #

My swap partners gifts for swap #4,321 Thrift store find have been sent out.Hopefully the postal service does not screw anything up over the holidays and everything arrives safely.

CelestialFreak 12/18/2007 #

I really love this swap and hope it happens again! Be sure to let me know if this one is hosted again!

TraySeeH 01/ 5/2008 #

I only have a Goodwill and it is 30 minutes away. I have been 5 different times now and have only come up with 1 pair of salt and pepper shakers. So I think I am going to have to go through my small collection just to find some. Hope others have had a better time. If I wasn't looking for them they would be there.
