At the Thrift Shop in February (USA) swap

Things I like from thrift shops: being a quilter, any cuts of cotton fabric, any batches of thread or buttons and pins, pin cushions. Non-sewing things: gloves, hats, long scarves, interesting tote bags, glasses cases, I like placesmats, potholders, interesting small spoons and knives (like butter knives and cheese knives), I collect Chinese ginger jars (the kind with the lid) and I love lidded teacups or mugs. In t-shirts, I only wear them to bed, so size X and XL are perfect, pajamas bottoms if they're plain color or very fun patterns,(size X is a safe bet) fairly plain earrings (piered, not clip on), ethnic necklaces. I love computer paper for letters with designs on it. Picture books with animals, plants, scenery. That pretty much covers it. Don't send me novels-PLEASE, and no mysteries and such.

Hi, I love apples, planners or anything to do with them. I'm working on a quilt so I like fabric. I also make small items like pillows of different shapes so I used any type, size or material. Lace, trims, ribbon, any embellishments are nice too. I wear size 2x Tshirt, mostly to sleep in. I have the apple décor in my kitchen. Planner stuff everywhere. I love anything to do with paper, pens or office products. I have loved those things since being a child. I love things to do with Stephen King, like calendars and stuff. I have most of of the books except the new one. I really don't like things like Hello Kitty or things like that, or stuffed animals unless their old classic characters. I don't like romance novels either. I can't really think of anything else much. Thank you.

This sounds like it will be a lot of fun! My favorite things to pick up at a thrift store are as follows: Bibles translated from another language. Vintage books, Vintage toys, action figures of any sort, board games, unique kitchen items, Christmas ornaments (especially vintage), nativity scenes, glass jars/bottles (may not want to ship those), Old Sears/JCPenney catalogs, and any other uniquely interesting item that captures the attention! Things I don't need: I have too many scrapbook and stationery supplies already. I don't get too many clothing items unless I can try them on. I've already donated my postcards to a young collector, so I don't use those anymore. I don't have time to read, so no new novels, please. That's it. If you find something you love and want to send it, I'm sure I'll love it too.

Thrift shops are a little heaven for me. I love scarves, shotglasses, unique small touristy or pop culture (tv show, movie, cartoon) drinking glasses , anything hockey related, anything related to Lilo & Stitch, Wall E, The Rescuers, Big Bang Theory, Star Wars, The Dark Knight series, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Cars, Monsters Inc or Monster U, Despicible Me, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Bumble or Hermie from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Anything with the Union Jack on it or touristy of England. Musician tshirts of any band (xl, xxl in womens, medium in mens). Anything with Ronald McDonald characters on them (Grimace, Hamburgular, Ronald, Mayor McCheese). Buttons/pins (either sewing buttons or 1 inch pop culture related pins).

Ugh...I like too many things from thiftstores. Mostly I like broken/vintage/odds and ends of jewelry. I'm gothic so of corpse I like anything gothic. Vintage-y mushrooms for my kitchen. Neat ashtrays, broken dolls, or dolls in general. I alter A LOT of Barbie dolls, looking for Ken dolls too...when it comes to dolls don't worry about imperfections, I like them. The spookier the better. I also always NEED lace, all colors, all stiles, black is best but any color will do;) My profile is HEAVILY filled out with things I like, any of those will do!

Please no books unless they are on serial killers. Also, please nothing on my dislikes list;)

Don't fret it with me, I'll find something to do with whatever!
