Let's Swish!

Got a very nice email from a lady called Helen asking if I'd be interested in writing about her free Swishing event at Old Spitalfield's Market, this coming Saturday March 7th. And you know what? I would!

The Swishing events are basically giant swap shops, where you can bring from 1-5 items to trade for something new. I've still got a bin liner full of goodies that I didn't sell when I did a vintage fair before Christmas so I'm planning to swap what doesn't suit me for something that does, hopefully!

Click for bigger!

How it works is this:

12noon - 2pm Clothes drop off:

        Bring your clothes, shoes or accessories to the swishing area and drop them             off, you will receive a stamp for each item (minimum 1, maximum 5)

2.30pm Browsing time:

Take time to browse the goodies on display - look, but no touching until the Swish begins

3.00pm Swishing officially opens:

There will be a brief introduction to the Swish and it will then be declared open for you to start swishing.

The Rules

Bring at least 1 good quality item of clothing, shoes or accessories that you no longer wear but would be proud to pass onto a fellow Swisher - no rags please!

You can bring up to 5 items, you will recieve a stamp for each, so feel free to take as many items as you brought along.

You will have time to browse the rails and look at the fantastic free goodies on display - but remember, you cannot claim these items until the swish is officially open!

Once declared open, swish to your hearts content! Remember, be kind to your fellow Swishers...no scratching, spitting or biting!

I have the feeling that girls who see something they really love in the browsing time will end up loitering around in order to pounce when it's time to swap. I love this idea, especially as its free.

See you on Saturday!
