Holiday Swap Meet-up Official!
DATE: Saturday December 8th
TIME: 2:30 pm - 8:30pm
WHERE: My place. PM me for address & my cell number.
WHAT:
~Tea will be self served and treats are encouraged to bring.~
There will many different available teas, from Green tea to savory sweet herbal tea.
There will be other sweet drinks available such as Cinnamon Apple Cider & Creamy Eggnog.
Drinking alcoholic beverage is allowed at this party with strict supervision of age, please have a designated driver.
If you are bringing food I would greatly appreciate it. :D
~There will be a gift exchange, something within $10-$15 or less.~
Everyone who is participating will bring a small gift, the gift doesn't have to extravagant or expensive but within or under the $10-$15 mark. It can be homemade, it can be a "re-gift", or it can be something such as a giftcard. (For more ideas you can check my livejournal link here---- )
Everyone will bring their gift and put it on the gift table. Gift will be put into categories such as Sweet, Gothic, Classic, other Lolita style and Miscellaneous (non-lolita items).
Write your name on a small slip of paper and put into Santa Claus' hat.
Names will be drawn and the name I draw will get to pick a gift from the table that looks appealing to them. Repeat. Until there are no more gift left.
GENTLEMEN! If you are participating please let me know so everything isn't super girly. ;)
~Swap Meet. Who doesn't love to shop. Buy, sell, exchange, donate, whatever! Paypal will be available if you do not bring cash.~
Bring your shoes, clothes, (unworn) bloomers, socks, tights, jewelry, hair accessories, home decor, heck even the Lolita frilly sink.
It is not limited to Lolita only. If you want to bring Manga or Magazines or CDs, it is allowed. If it is Anime related you may bring it.
A Swap Meet will get rid of the hassle of trying on items and returning, you even get to try your hand at haggling with a puppy dog face.
CASH! CASH! CASH! Bring it! I will have change available.
PAYPAL! There will be two stations for paypal transactions. One in the basement and one in the kitchen.
~Holiday Bingo to Win a Grand prize.~
Holiday Bingo will be at the party later in the evening, after everyone has had their tea and treats. We shall settle down to a lovely game of Bingo. Many prizes will be given out.
If any artist/designers would like to donate to the Bingo Game I am very open to that. ^_^
