Swap Meet! 6/28/09

Our first ScrapHappy ‘Swap Meet’ flea market was very successful!. Ten vendor tables were set-up in our cropping area, bulging with various and sundry scrapbooking/crafting type items to sell to customers and fellow swappers…whoever walked through the door! There was a lot of selling, buying, negotiating, dickering and haggling to get the best price for the item that was up for grabs. As I canvassed the swap area, I could see smiles and hear the laughter…folks having lots of fun!

The more seasoned swap-goers knew the drill. Holding out until the very end to get that bargain. It was kind of exciting to watch. The banter going back and forth was… “Let’s make a deal! Make me an offer! Well, how much do YOU want to pay for it! Oh…just take it!”

But best of all, at the end of the day, whatever didn’t go back home was boxed up and donated to the Summer Boost Literacy Program sponsored by Sweet Connections. Everybody wins…ScrapHappy, vendors, customers & our community.
That’s why we’re so ScrapHappy! We’ll do this again.
