Family swap (women, men, teens, children) Saturday March 3rd

Because of how well attended the last Gresham Family swap was, Amber the Gresham volunteer swap hostess has broken down the sizes into time slots. That way people for only a certain size won’t have to hang around the whole time, and it will make the room more manageable. Please email Amber to reserve your space at: Gresham.swap@gmail.com 

Here’s all the details – invite your friends and their families!

Gresham Family Swap (Women, Men, Teens, Kids) March 3, at   651 SE 197^th Ave Portland, OR 97233.  If you are attending more than one swap

Necklace I got at yesterday’s free swap

I got this necklace from a free swap

I got this necklace at yesterdays swap, and LOVE it because it’s lightweight. I’m not sure what material the beads are made of, but they are smooth rounded heart shapes in the colors of silver, charcoal and black, with a gold cord and small gold round metal beads between each heart shape. Metal clasp closure. I like it because it has a classic yet modern look about it, doesn’t overwhelm my petite figure, and yet makes a statement. And the colors are neutral enough to go with many things I already have.

Swap-o-matic!

You Swappers are ahead of the curve (but you probably already knew that:)  Here’s the latest invention, a vending machine called the “Swap-o-matic” where you can recycle what you don’t need and get things free that you can use.  It’s being debuted back east, and the inventor says it’s her way to make a social statement and to help others see how important it is NOT to overconsume, and to recycle useable things to help prevent landfills filling up.

We are doing the same thing – just without a vending machine.  In fact, instead of one small vending machine of space, we’ve got a WHOLE GYM to swap women’s medium size clothes tomorrow!  Lot’s of space for all the clean clothes, shoes, accessories, and other wearables that you no longer need, use or love…and where you can find new-to-you things you can use and love!  For more information on the women’s medium swap this Saturday, click here.
