Stephanie and I are finalizing the last few details for the Swap. We can’t believe it’s tomorrow!

Here are some of the fun things to expect at the event:

Swag:

Swag has poured in from all over Iowa, and even as far as Texas! If you are one of the first thirty in the door, you’ll receive a handmade bag filled with goodies made by local artists. The estimated retail value of each bag is $60, so it’s definitely worth it to come early to score one of these!

Door prizes:

We have numerous items that will be given away throughout the day:

-An 8×10 print by yours truly, Kelsey Blessman

-A sweet pin cushion by Handmade Pretties, valued at $20

-Mason Dixon Knitting: The Curious Knitters Guide

-10 free issues of Craft Leftovers

-$20 to Beaverdale Books

-$5 gift certificates to The Art Store

$50 to Iron Heart Tattoo

Be sure to stick around during the entire event, as you must be present to win.

Fashion Show:

The girls at Vitae have put together an awesome fashion show featuring their designs, many of which have been upcycled from vintage clothing. The MaxFights RingGirls will be modeling. This is at 1:30pm.

Beverages:

We will be providing coffee, bottled water, and soda to keep you going during the swap. Donations are appreciated, but not required.

And of course, the Swap!

Bring your ten dollars and any size bag of clothes, and take however much you want from our mountain of clothing and accessories. We’ll be running our screen printing, sewing machines, and workshop stations all day so you can learn how to personalize your finds.

We’ll see you there!
