Clothing Swap and Tea Party

Saturday, Sept. 13, 1-4 PM

at the Rabbit Warren

I will be hosting a party for swapping of used but still good clothing. Participants are asked to bring a snack and/or drinks to share. I will provide tea and some snacks as well.

I have over a dozen large bags of mostly women's clothing sizes M thru 5X to give away. I encourage you to bring the clothing that no longer fits or doesn't suite you to give to others. If you don't have any clothing to give away, don't let that stop you from coming. We have plenty to share.

How it works is that everyone brings clothing they don't want/need any more. Bags should initially be given to your host. Partially because I would rather not mix them in with my own huge pile of clothes I have already tried. Most the time we end up a ring of women in their underwear, all trying on clothing and passing them on to each other. I suggest you bring a bag to take your new goodies home with you.

All sizes and styles welcome. And yes, you can bring clothing that is not for women. Last time, we had bags of kids clothes which we put in a separate room for people with kids to sort through. So I would probably help if you had them bagged separately.

The clothing gets pretty mixed up by the end, so unless there is something special you need to keep if you don't give it away, the left-overs will be bagged up and given away to charity at the end. If someone wants to take care of that, let me know. I will most likely drop them at Goodwill otherwise.

Please RSVP, either through the poll, a comment or email. Space is naturally limited to some degree and I want to be able to have tea set up. So it helps to have an idea of how many to expect.

Rabbit Warren is in Hayward, California. We don't usually publish the address online. I see you are based in Seattle. If you still think you can make it and need the address, send me email requesting it at: dawn at therabbitwarren dot com

I would expect, yes. I will double check with the guys since the would be the ones doing that.

I'd like to come, and would probably bring Audrey--but it will depend on whether I am sufficiently recovered from having my wisdom teeth pulled.

Good luck with the wisdom teeth. My cousin had a rough time with hers but mine went easy. I actually played D&D the same evening after mine were taken out. Hope yours go well.

I plan on being there. However, I also need to get ready to host ladynanook's birthday party in the evening. Do you mind if I come at say 12 and help you get set up and swish through clothes so that I can leave a bit earlier? *hugs* Either way, will see you for a bit on Saturday.

P.S. Did you want me to cross publish this in thechoirloft?

[purplerabbit.livejournal.com]

Um, I saw about the party. I won't be able to attend the birthday party since I will definitely be wiped out after this.

Noon would actually not be a good time for you to be going through the clothes, as it would actually disrupt me setting up. I have some ideas of how to do this that involve keeping things a bit more organized than in the past. If you wanted to come by today (Friday) or 10 AM Saturday, it might work. Keep in mind, the clothes I already have here are 15 large bags full. It's not as quick a task as you might think. I only intend to bring a few bags out at a time, so there is room for people in the living room as we go through them. Just let me know...

You can cross publish if you like.
