Sparkle Swap – Go Shopping Without Spending a Dime
Wednesday, November 20, 2019 @ 11:20 am - 1:00 pm
Our dazzling holiday party will be a time when our accessories come out to shimmer and find new homes.
Bring costume jewelry, twinkling pins, handbags, fuzzy neck scarves, evening clutches, pashminas, shawls, and headscarves that you no longer wear. You’ll have fun traveling back through your jewelry and accessories to select unbroken, clean pieces for their different lives with someone else.
With a twinkle in our eyes we’ll draw names and watch as each person selects one article in lucky order. If there is a story to tell about the item selected, the person who donated it may choose to briefly share the story.
After everyone has made their first glittering choice, the remaining goodies are there for your one-for-one trades (bring three items, select one to three items; bring ten items, select one to ten items). Sets (necklaces with matching earrings or bracelets) count as one piece.
When all sparkle swapping is complete, but some items remain, they are then available to anyone who wants them.
Be sure to bring a good-sized gift bag to tote your new shiny sparkles home. At the end of our party, any remaining items will be donated.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to marketing@hfcw.org.
