Description:

This is like an I spy and scavenger hunt but in one swap. You will go to a thrift store or garage sale and hunt for something patriotic for your partner. It can be anything as long as it has an

  1. EAGLE

  2. AMERICAN FLAG

  3. STATUE OF LIBERTY or

  4. ANYTHING RED-WHITE & BLUE

(represents freedom) on it.

There is no price set on this find. SENDERS CHOICE. If you would like you could find two patriotic items but not a requirement. Since 4th Of July isn't too far away and I made the mail swap date at the end of July there should be no problems finding patriotic items plus you might find a good deal because any left overs after the holiday normally gets marked down.You can shop now or wait to see who you get.

SENDERS CHOICE-please do not list wants

4.95 rate with no recent 3's or 1's. Newbies need to have three type 2 or two type 3. Sorry so strict but I don't want to have to angel since it is a type 3.

Any questions please ask.

Just saw this swap. I was at a garage sale and picked up something yesterday...I am so in this swap!!

institches 05/13/2012 #

Got a little excited there....I guess I should have asked this first: the things I found are spread out in a big package - 13.5" x 17". Is it OK if I take them out to save on postage?

art3osb 05/13/2012 #

Sure, it is okay @institches

art3osb 05/13/2012 #

I'm excited about this swap too:)

institches 05/19/2012 #

Just curious....why did you put the date so far ahead? I think it would be nice to receive the swap before July 4th. Again, just curious.

Does it have to be from a thrift store? There are lots of garage sales going on now, and I see all kinds of neat things.

Scratch that last comment. I didn't read far enough before asking questions. Duh!!!

art3osb 05/21/2012 #

@institches I put that date because it is bi-monthly and I made it for two months after my thrifting for a bird. I love getting patriotic things year round. I know some people were probably wondering why I made it late in July. It doesn't have to say Happy 4th Of July. Just be patriotic. I hope you still join.

art3osb 06/19/2012 #

@susieq40 No it doesn't. Just one.

susieq40 06/23/2012 #

Only a few more days and partners are assigned. I hope more people join. I love the 4th of july even though right now I'm depressed and really not getting into the holiday. No power here since 6-29 but thanks to my sister-in-law we are using her generator. She never lost power. Could be without until 7-7 @ midnight.

art3osb 07/ 5/2012 #

We got power as of 7-5....yay. I'll be back tomorrow to assign partners. Thanks for joining.
