Description:

Thrift stores are soon going to be crammed full of holiday ornaments and it's lots of fun to sort through them and find interesting, unique, or just pretty vintage treasures to help make your home more festive.

So, go to your local thrift store and put together one box worth about $5.00 (no more than $10) of vintage Christmas ornaments/decorations. They should be in good shape. Nothing dirty, broken, torn, etc. Make sure that it's something you'd like to decorate your own space with and check your partner's profile in case they have any absolute dislikes or favorites. However, ultimately it's going to be sender's choice so don't be upset if you don't get exactly what you want. Be sure to package your items carefully so that no fragile items get broken in transit. Also, include a Christmas card with a little note to make it personal. Give out hearts if the card is handmade or if a lot of extra effort went into the package. Send your things on time, before all the holiday craziness gets here, and rate promptly!!!

Now for the nitty gritty. All participants must have at least a 4.8 rating and absolutely NO PREVIOUS NO-SENDS! I will not be "angeling" this swap (although if necessary I will actively find someone who is willing to angel), so if I see something shady, I will ban you. Newbies are more than welcome with full profile. Sorry, no internationals this time because of the nature of the swap. If you are international and really want to join, message me and we'll talk.

Please let me know at any time if you have any questions, concerns or comments. In the meantime, happy hunting!

Can the decorations also be discounted decorations bought at a regular shop or does it have to be a thrift store?

Just a thrift/consignment store, yard sale, etc. this time. The age of the items is what makes them interesting. :)
