Swap Coordinator:	HollyGolightly (contact)
Swap categories:	Thrift Store
Number of people in swap:	20
Location:	Other
Type:	None
Last day to signup/drop:	May 10, 2007
Date items must be sent by:	May 24, 2007
Number of swap partners:	1
Description:
This is not an international swap. Your jar should be no smaller than 12oz, but feel free to make it bigger. It should be filled with pretty little things, like charms, interesting buttons, but not too much of one thing and nothing boring- like regular buttons. Be creative with what you put in your jar. Things are encouraged to be vintage and ornate. Post any questions. Depending on if you collect these type of things or not, this package could cost $10 or $5 or more. If everyone fills a good jar, no matter how much it costs, they'll get a good jar in return. Newbies must have a non-fishy looking profile.

Oh these are wonderful!!! What a splendid idea... I cannot wait to fill mine, I'm looking for a jar today!

SharonF 04/25/2007 #

I love this idea too! I have the perfect jar!

Question - Is this just to fill the jar, or to fill the jar AND decorate the jar?

HollyGolightly 04/30/2007 #

You do not need to decorate the Jar, but you can if you like. I think plain mason jars are kind of pretty to start with.

I've been picking up knick-knacks here and there. I'm just glad that I signed up with enough time, 'cause it is a bit difficult to find vintage items to place in the jar. But it'll definitely be worth it! :D

does it have to be a glass jar will a plastic one be ok as long as it is at least 12 ozs. glass will add a lot of weight to the postage

have the swap partners been assigned yet? this is my first swap and it's 3 days past the sign up date and i still have recieved no email or swap-bot message. am i missing something? ;_;

user7247 05/13/2007 #

As far as I have seen, the partners have not been assigned yet either. Perhaps tomorrow since this was a (sort-of) holiday weekend, if not I think I will try to message the coordinator.

HollyGolightly 05/14/2007 #

Wow, guys! I really apologize for that late assigning. did even comprehend it was the 14th. Anyway, there is an issue with partners. You will be notified if it involves you! Good luck!

okay i have a major problem. my partner gobybike address is saying vancouver washington BUT her profile says portland oregon. i pm-ed her a few days and have received NO ANSWER about her correct address.

i don't want to send a potentially heavy item/high postage cost item out into the ether!!! and i don't want a bad rating because i didn't send!

samthatiam...your jar is going out first thing tomorrow (monday) morning! =)

Hey nytesong -- I was assigned to gobybike for another swap and I emailed her the same question. Don't worry about it -- just send it to the WA address. She moves a lot so she receives mail at her mom's place.

RudeNun 05/22/2007 #

RudeNun 05/28/2007 #

nytesong, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It took me quite some time to find everything. I was afraid it would get lost in the mail so I bought insurance to go with it.
