Craft Therapy: SWAP MEET HEAVEN

SWAP MEET:

A flea market or swap meet is a type of bazaar where inexpensive or secondhand goods are sold or bartered. It may be indoors, such as in a warehouse or school gymnasium; or it may be outdoors, such as in a field or under a tent.[1] The flea market vendors may range from a family that is renting a table for the first time to sell a few unwanted household items to a commercial operation including a large variety of used merchandise, scouts who rove the region buying items for sale from garage sales and other flea markets, and several staff watching the stalls.

Tonight our "Craft Therapy" consisted of a Swap Meet. (What is "Craft Therapy" you may ask? Just an excuse to hang out with eachother,be silly, create, eat good food, share our faith, and connect!)

This was the first Swap Meet I'd ever participated in and I must say it was pretty sweet. We all brought a few items that we no longer wanted collecting dust in our homes/closets and piled them onto Renee's dining room rug.

After stuffing our faces with pesto and playing "Two Truths and a Lie"(Which, by the way, was hilarious! We learned a lot about eachother: Belle's been charged by a bear, I used to have two pet reindeer, Renee has a pet bunny--for real--and Holly is much better at scuba-diving than chemistry(me too Holly! and I've never scuba-dived in my life...which describes my chemistry-incompetence quite clearly).

Then, the Swap Meet. We each pulled a number from a bowl that designated who our picking partner was and where we were in line to search for treasure amongst eachother's belongings. Every time you and your partner were up to bat so to speak, you had a total of 30 seconds to find something you liked. Here are a few modeling pictures of the girls and their treasures:
