Modern day swapshop

If I wasn't being a busy bee next week I'd be popping to Spitalfields to finally make a swishing event. I was particularly motivated by Tor of Fabfrocks after she did well at a recent event (Tor I couldn't find your post so please put a link in comment box if you read this!) And equally motivated by the idea of 'free' or 'swapsies'. I used to love collecting stickers as a child and swapping them.



For those of you looking to inject something new then take along something old in the morning of the 12th of May to get your stamp for every item. It is all part of a fashion week at Spitalfields so pop along to see what is going on.

Swap Shop is alive and kicking!

Swishing Event at Old Spitalfield's Market , London, E1 6EW

Get a new outfit for free at this fun Swishing event as part of East Festival in London. Fashionistas are hunting down the best pieces at Swishing events all over the country. Who knows what treasures you may find...
12noon - 2pm Clothes drop off:
Bring your clothes, shoes or accessories to the swishing area and drop them off, you will receive a stamp for each item (minimum 1, maximum 5)
2.30pm Browsing time:
Take time to browse the goodies on display - look, but no touching until the Swish begins
3.00pm Swishing officially opens:
There will be a brief introduction to the Swish and it will then be declared open for you to start swishing.
The Rules
· Bring at least 1 good quality item of clothing, shoes or accessories that you no longer wear but would be proud to pass onto a fellow Swisher - no rags please!
· You can bring up to 5 items, you will receive a stamp for each, so feel free to take as many items as you brought along.
· You will have time to browse the rails and look at the fantastic free goodies on display - but remember, you cannot claim these items until the swish is officially open!
· Once declared open, swish to your hearts content! Remember, be kind to your fellow Swishers...no scratching, spitting or biting!
· Have fun!
