This pic was taken of me three years ago by Town Crier newspaper photographer Francis Crescia, just when I was getting in vintage bling.I look so different now. Let's just say I would NEVER wear an outfit like that now, even though that one was 100% thrift.
Speaking of bling, I have some little gems of information to dispense today: thrifter's news let's call it!

TORONTO SWAP MEET & GARAGE SALE BY SWAPSITY AUGUST 28 in THE ANNEXI had a reader recently ask about local swap events, and the timing for that question was perfect as I just joined a group known as Swap Sity.
It's on Saturday, August 28 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and you can rent a table by the hour or two-hour period to sell and/or swap.
From what I understand you have to pay to get in as a shopper, but I'm not sure how much.
To rent a table or get more info you have to go to the site and then email them.
Kelly, I love the idea os SwapSity. It is a great way to trade stuff you don't need in a way that someone else gets some use out of it (it avoids more stuff in the landfill). And it saves people money. So cool.
ReplyDeleteI know isn't it cool Kris? I found them on Twitter. Will try to check out the sale for sure.
