Description:

I ADORE finding fabulous fair priced pieces of jewelry at the thrift stores or yard sales, to add to my collection OR to use in other crafting or jewelry projects. For this swap you get to SHOP and SWAP!

You will send ONE thrifted or second hand brooch to each of your TWO partners. Send something you'd LOVE to receive yourself and you can hardly part with. Nothing boring or completely busted, NO JUNK please! This is NOT a profile specific swap, but use you good judgement and as always, it's BEST to peruse your partners' profiles every time. Find cool things! Keep the words "vintage, retro, kitschy, blingy, unique, artsy, cool!" in mind!

US only to keep postage costs down, sorry. :O( No newbies, seasoned swappers with 4.9 ratings, at least 10 package swaps and no recent or unexplained bad ones. Must have checked in to Swapbot within 2 days previous to sign up date. Spending suggestion NOT OVER $2.99 per brooch, but if you find something awesome for much less than the max it is perfectly acceptable, or if you're super generous you may spend more but be aware your partner may not. ALSO, if you already own some wonderful pieces you're ready to part with, that's fine too! But PLEASE NO DOLLAR STORE ITEMS. ONLY quality thrifted, handed down, yard sale finds, junk shopped, etc..

IF you are not opposed to receiving rhinestone/sparkly brooches MISSING a stone or 2, please leave a comment as such below. Sometimes these are irresistable!

Any questions, PM me!

Please cushion your brooch safely in a padded envy.

No missing pieces pls as I wear mine.

I don't mind a missing stone or two when it's very blingy! :O)

I would love to be considered for this swap. Boxes of bling to share! ;)

I am a collector of brooches. I have many with missing stones or broken backs, but they go to people that recycle them to make other jewelry. If any body needs some of these, perhaps we could have a private swap. Please, do not send me anything with missing stone, bent piece, etc. Love this swap. You all can come over to see them if you like.

Bling and more bling...........a stone or 2 missing is fine by me!

I like whimsical pins/brooches. I also wear mine so I do not want any missing stones. Thank you!

Peacewytch 08/13/2011 #

A reminder ladies, you may receive brooches without 'bling' or stones as well. Of course, they should STILL be AWESOME! :O)

I left Peacewytch a message about this swap because I am not listed as being in it. What gives or haven't partners been assigned yet? It doesn't even show up on my profile that I am in this swap. Thank you!

JaMaJo did you list it before the date? I don 't see you on the list either.
