Q: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A HOME ACCESSORIES SWAP?

A: So glad you asked! It's a chance for you to bring gently used home accessories, and "swap" them for something "new to you!"


HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
 -- Bring CLEAN, GENTLY USED home accessories with you the evening of the swap. (They should be items that you could give as a gift, not a “garage sale” type of item.) Please bring at least one item, but feel free to bring more. The more you bring, the better the selection will be for others. If something you bring does not get selected, you may either take it back home with you or leave it to be donated to the WEARhouse thrift store.

-- Some EXAMPLE ITEMS: candles holders, frames, framed pictures, mirrors, serving dishes, decorative pillows, throws, baskets, vases, lamps, décor for a child’s room… pretty much anything you might find in the home section of a store.

-- AS YOU ARRIVE on the 17th, we will display all of the items on tables. We will draw numbers to determine the order in which we will get to select the accessories. For example, if there are 20 of us, we will select one item at a time, numbers 1-20, then go backwards 20-1. (This way, the person that draws number 20 will get to select two items in a row.)

-- There is no simple way to keep track of the value of what you bring compared to the value of the items you will get to take home. We ask that you come with the mindset that you are happy to have cleaned out your house, and you will be happy to leave with something new... regardless of the original value of the item(s) you bring. We really just want this to be a lot of fun! Hope you can join us!
