saturday was the second SWAPmaine event and it was a huge success! bigger than our first, but an equally amazing swap. we had over 300 attendees and donated over 3000 pounds of left over clothing to goodwill! a huge thank you to everyone who made this possible! we could not have done it without donations from amazing local businesses, our volunteers, and, of course, the swappers!

i had so much fun. i loved watching everyone go crazy over all the clothes and leave with some amazing finds. i did not go home empty handed either! i emptied out my SWAPmaine bag this morning to see what i went home with. one of my favorite parts of swapping is seeing what was actually in my bag. with all the commotion, i forget what i actually scored. it's like going through all the excitement all over again!
here is what i got:
denim dress.
sheer pink dress.
paisley print dress.
hot pink jumpsuit!
sequined silk blouse.
light pink silk blouse.
michelle picked it out for me!
80s striped tee
picked out by kate!
floral jacket
picked out for me by the team of sorters.
(glad everyone had my best interests in mind!)
bright striped jacket.
allie showed me the pockets & i couldn't say no!
polka dot pants.
floral print pants.
brown leather shoes.
It looks like the swap was a lot of fun. I hope I can make it to the next one. You got many nice items. My fave is that sheer pink dress -- it's lovely. Looks like it's from the 40's.
