Description:

Followers: Great doing this with you Swappers who send: You are fantastic Swappers who flake: Sooner or later you get caught. Newbies: Only if I see your profile is really good. Will ban or give you the opportunity to drop out. This is my 14th try with this swapper and I see there are others called Thriftstore Find but International, so that is up to you. This is USA due to postage being a problem sometime and sometimes packages getting lost traveling great distance.

So:: This is a very easy swap and should be fun. Go to your thriftstore and find something that is not torn, or broken off or dirty, check your swappers likes and dislikes and maybe what they collect and see if you can find it. It is not necessary to go by their profile, just more fun. Spending no more than $5.00 as you can get neat stuff for $1.00 sometimes. Send it with a little note telling what swap this is from and maybe with a hello. 1 Swapper USA only .

Goodie, goodie -- another one. I'm addicted to these swaps.

I think I put this up just for June, my faithful buddy.

I have received Pm messages from a couple of swappers telling me they didn't like what they got, it was dirty or old. Thriftstore Find is usually old stuff people. Please don't be critical to me if that happens, notify the swapper.I cannotdo anything about what is sent. What ever you receiv e as long as you receive it you must give a 5 rating. You can always comment to her. Fun people, fun......

are garage sale finds fair game?

KarlaKC 03/ 6/2011 #

Oh yes, you do have another one going on! :) I'm signing up! I loved playing in #13.

I did the last one, and it was so much fun! I got a new craft to try — a bead loom, beads and string. Now if someone can just send me more time!

ladydy5 03/ 6/2011 #

If garage sales are your thing go for it. Most of the stuff not sold in garage sales goes to thriftstore eventually. I say that with experience.

I just joined swap-bot today and would love for this to be my first swap. I go to thrift stores on a regular basis and would love to find something for someone based on their profile to send out to them.

ladydy5 03/ 9/2011 #

Kariexoxo is a newbie. I requested she put more in her profile, hope she does or I will have to ban her from the swap. I am sure she will do fine. Also I do check those below a 5 rating to see what their prob lem may be and it does allow me to ban them if I see fit. Not to worry if you are not joining because of this. I have had 13 swaps for this already and they do just great.

Kariexoxo 03/ 9/2011 #

Sorry, I just joined yesterday and still figuring out how to use this site. I entered more info in my profile. Anymore tips you can give this newbie would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you ladydy5.

Kariexodxo left you a nice comment and thank you on your profile. Welcome.

These are fun! I'm still waiting to receive my "#13" package,but not worried! I love old/vintage/antique/used things!

ladydy5 03/15/2011 #

Glad to see old timer Thriftstore Finds still with me on this swap.I do recognize some of you. Newbies are welcomed, going to give them a chance.

awh wish it was international!

"Go to your thriftstore and find something that is not torn, or broken off or dirty" Since this is part of the requirement, sending a something that is torn, broken or dirty would constitute a 3 in my book

Just my 2 cents!

ladydy5 03/15/2011 #

You are not in the swap?
Well, since the description states that sentence and if someone gets something that is dirty or broken then of course that is not meeting the standard of a 5. I doubt if anyone received such.

Wondering why my comment was deleted...

ladydy5 03/16/2011 #

Re comment my dear, because I never saw it. I never delete them.

ladydy5 03/17/2011 #

We have 4newbies out of 53 this time and I hope no one is too concerned as you know how I keep a watch on my swaps.

ArtsOnFire 03/17/2011 #

No problem re my comment. I just said that, for me, part of the swap experience is swapping itself. I know it can be disheartening to put a lot of thought into a swap only to receive something that falls short. When that happens, I remember how nice it was to send someone something that they really enjoyed receiving and it feels good to make someone's day brighter.

ladydy5 04/ 1/2011 #

Well it is April fools day....I just want to let you all know that I believe 9 out of 60 have not sent yet and it is only a day after send date. I have pm'd them with a reminder as I know that no one likes to get flaked on. Putting up my April one.

ladydy5 04/ 1/2011 #

Six out of sixty. Not bad. Thanks

KarlaKC 04/ 2/2011 #

Sorry to be running behind, but mine will go out today (Saturday) or Monday at the very latest. :-)

ladydy5 04/14/2011 #

Only one out of 60 excellent. Hope you all join in #15

jennibek 05/16/2011 #

Except for the one...sigh. Anyway - I enjoyed sending mine! Great swap!
