Title: Spring Pagan Swap!
Post by: Crystal on February 08, 2012, 09:58:20 PM

Join CedarLight Grove as we dust off the last bits of winter and start our spring cleaning.

On March 4th after Walk With the Old Ones we will be hosting a Pagan Swap.  This is essentially a gathering where we all clean out our closets and cabinets and altars of things we no longer love that need a new home and display them for others to browse and take home.  If you see something you like, put a few dollars in Dagda's Cauldron and take it home with you.

Whatever has not found a new home will be donated to Goodwill!

So start thinking about what you'd like to clear out and declutter for spring :)

*Please no broken, junky, dirty, or otherwise unusable items.  We will also need some volunteers to help take things to Goodwill.

What she said!
I also posted to RavynsHaven and to Inqmi lists.
Anyone think of other places to advertise?

Just posted to the Fort Meade Open Circle also.

Steven and I volunteer to take some of it to goodwill. I think this is a great idea.

Cool thanks Betony!


Hey Everybody, BRING YOUR STUFF tomorrow!

We might need some extra tables or tarp or something to put stuff out on the ground.  Trash bags too, to pack things up in.

I'm bringing a small suitcase's worth of stuff tomorrow! I can't really take anything to Goodwill because I can only lift light things at the moment, but anything of mine that doesn't go, I'll try to take home to take to Goodwill later on.

My wife has the car this weekend, so unfortunately I will not be able to make it.  (sad)  I will see everyone next week.

You know, at first I thought it was really going to bomb but apparently we did really well in the cauldron and even with all the stuff that people brought, I am still going home with much less than I came up with to take to Goodwill.

Crystal can tell you how we did in the cauldron, I don't know.  But it was a good, very laid back day.

HUSSAH!!!!

We brought in $277 today, which does not count Apt D rent or in-kind donations, that's just cash/check.

And I got 3 warm sweaters/jackets that are a size too small (on purpose) so I can maybe wear them next winter, and a nice leather poncho thingy :D

And here I was thinking that I would be happy if we got $40 in the cauldron.  Daaayam!
