GET SWAPPING!!
SWAP PARTY
TOP TIPS
1. One big(ish) room is better than lots of small ones
2. Don't forget some mirrors and a space for private changing
3. Give tokens for clothes to keep track of what's coming and going
4. At least one rail is a good idea
5. Serve nibbles and drinks but stay away from sloppy foods that need plates!
6. Don't forget to keep your guests coats and handbags away from the swap!!
Have you got a piece you love but will never wear again?
Swapping is about finding a new home for something beautiful... to carry on it's story...
Isn't it nicer to see it given new life with a new owner than folded in the back of your wardrobe?
