First Swap a Success!

July 8, 2009

Larissa and I had a great time at our pilot Craft Supply Swap at Young Blood's Kraftwork July 2. To our surprise, we left with far more supplies than we showed up with! The donation bins quickly filled with fabric, yarn, beads, papers, and more.

Crafters were eager to unload but shy about shopping. I think they were incredulous that we were recycling supplies and not selling them. "No really, take more of our free stuff!" we insisted over and over. We're on the lookout for a charity or arts group that could use our leftovers. 

We'll keep you posted about future swaps! Check out Flickr for more event photos.
