Thriftstore Find - 23

I have been looking everywhere for rolodex holders! I want vintage, flat or rotary in wood or metal...If anyone finds or has 1 please pm me! ;-) Blessings, cc

So to be clear, the find that we send can be of our own choosing and we cannot be rated a "3" if the recipient is not fond of it?

Receiver cannot rate a three just because she didn't like it. It is senders choice

Surprises are fun!

Thank you for leaveing this open for newbies! I'm not flakey and I'm really excited for this swap! Bring on the thrift store rush!

I agree with Dollium! I have only done one other swap and am really looking forward to this one!

This is for United States only. If anyone notices out of the USA other than Alaska or PRico please let me know. I do check each one listed but after 68 it takes time to go through them all. In my last one I had a swapper from Canada that I had to ban.

What's a type 3 package? Really looking foward to the swap. I love Thrift Stores!

cherylbugs a type 3 is a package.. type 1 is like email. type 2 is envelope but 3 sometimes has more into it like a craft or item. does that help??

This sounds FUN...I love a good THRIFT STORE

It is amazing all the swappers on this swap. Understand, I do eliminate any that have a less than acceptable fill in profile. I do check those with less than a 5.0 rating to see why it is so. I generally give some a fair chance to complete a swap too. Can't believe there are still 67 still watching this swap.

today i have only one member. Please join me at luluwangchuk.blogspot.com

This sounds awesome! I love finding treasures at the thrift store ... sharing with someone else is even better. :-)

How much is the limit to spend?

In this description I said "what you spend is up to you" No one should be upset if they think they spent more than they got. If you are in this swap for that reason (monetary) don't join.

My rating is way down, because the rush of holidays and friends passing away really got me the past few months. However, I would love to bring my rating up by asking you to give me a chance. Im not a flaker I just had the holidays get to me. Thank you. Plus if I do get deleted, please dont think I will be mad because Im a happy go lucky girl and Ill understand.

This sounds so cool! Thrifting with someone in mind is such a fun idea! I'm really excited!

I have some awesome thrift stores in my area and am excited for this swap!

Swappers: I have ban those that have low, low rating and too many 3's or 1's recently. I have checked everyone, even had an internnational on there. Names are up, go for it!

I had the best time out shopping for my swap! I love a day at the trift stores.

HEY! While u are out thrift shopping...please be on the look out for any rolodex holders you can find! IF U FIND 1 or 2 or 3 U DON'T WANT....P L E A S E ...PM ME, I will buy them from you, or swap if u want. I luv to paint to order something you like or collect, or from a photograph of an homestead or barn or something u have always wanted a painting of. ...no portraits though, I sell them for $1000. a person ...if u r interested...;-)

Seen a lot on google but the prices are ridiculous. Will keep an eye out for you anrtist.

My profile pretty much sums up my likes and dislikes.. I am not a very picky person.. I like things that make me smile.... Have fun swapping everyone

This is my first swap. I see partners have been assigned. Would someone please tell me where I find out who my partner is.PLEEEZE!!!! I'll check back here for suggestions. Thanks.

Okay, I just found the sidebar with the info I need. My face is beet red! LOL

The sends are looking good. One more week to the send date.Please everyone, don't dissappoint your swapper. I will be putting up on in February if all goes well with this one. I mean 105 swappers, WOW!

We have to date 58 out of 105 that have not sent yet. Next Friday is the send date. I sure hope you all have not forgotten this swap as I won't be able to angel a lot.

Hi @ladydy5 . I am going to send mine out tomorrow or Friday. I have something special in mind for my partner and I have to go find just what I am looking for ( they are expecting a baby )... so I want to make it good... Just wanted to update.. thanks and take care, Tanya

Update, as of today 36 put of 105 have noy sent and tomorrow the 27 is send date. May need angels anyone interested if needed?

mine will be mailed out today sorry I am running behind

Thank you to all who have messaged me as to your sending. I like to send reminders the day of send date or day after just as a gentle reminder. If anyone does not like that then they don't have to join in. But I am very interested in everyone receiving as well as sending.

@ladydy5 you're a good swap host, keeping in touch and reminding your participants. :) I did mail my last minute, but it was mailed today. I just hope my partner likes it. I always worry in these thrift store finds about that.

@anrtist when you say "rolodex holders" are you talking about the little boxes that hold rolodex cards and have a lid that lifts up? I usually see one at my thrift store. They probably still have one now. It's a small plastic rolodex holder box, probably about 4x5?

That is a good idea @ladydy5 Life can get busy so it is nice to get a reminder message.

As of today 11 out of 105 have not marked sent. Here's hoping all will. #24 is ready for signups.

I have a feeling there will be at least two flakers this time. If not sent within 10 days of the swap due date I consider them a flaker and I may need a couple of wonderful swappers to angel so their swapper is not disappointed. PM me if you can do this

Only 7 did not send yet. I think they will except for one who I think is a guy. Thanks all of you

Can you believe everyone 104 people sent except one person and that was to me. On to #24

Anyone care to angel to me for this flaker?

I never recieve mine either --it was marked sent but I haven;t recieved it yet ?

Mine never showed up either :(
