Thriftstore Find #35 USA

I still haven't recieved mine from #34, so I think I'll sit this one out

Would it be ok as a complete newbie to join? i dont have any ratings yet but your idea sure sounds like a lot of fun!

Beckyluvsnkotb I will be glad to angel to you for 34 if you like. I hate to see anyone not receive. I have two of my favorite persons not received either. Yours shows she sent but she must be a real piece of work. Let me know.

Before I join I just want to make sure I understand this. All I would have to do is go to my local thrift store and purchase something that is in good condition that I think my partner would like and send it to them. Sounds like fun but I just want to make sure. I can purchase anything (book, movie, jewelry, purses, kitchen gadget, office supply) anything as long as I think they would enjoy it?

If you want me to, I can angel for her. Just send me her address and give me some time to catch up in my Pms. ( I have just rated all the swaps I received so far and just cannot deal with Pms today) But for this I will keep an eye out.

I can do this in addition to the regular partner. I am an hoarder so I have much things I cna share at my own 'thrift' store. All bought from ebay, amazoin, thrift stores or yard sales. I am trying to get rid of the things in some ways, but the big sales will be for DDs operation if we can get her to that point. See profile for that part.

I love this swap but I am busy busy busy right now, so I will wait til next time. I retire in June so I will have lots of time then!!

Girleegirl, exactly right! Fawnscrafts I have not heard back from beckyluvsnkotb yet. I thank u for the offer. Will let u know.

Maybe those who are making unwarranted comments on here will check these other comments to see that I DO ANGEL my swaps. Maybe they should read all comments over the past 7 years in my profile before they judge me.

This is my last thriftstore find that you have all enjoyed for the past 35 months. Lorivintage55 must want to do this one as the coordinator of it so I am giving her the advantage and watch for her. I hope she gets over 100 to sign up, enjoy.

Enough nonsense, let us both get over it @lorivintage55 I know I have.

There are so many false statements being made of my hostessing swaps that are unfounded. Check my profile if you have any concerns. Ask me, not others who are saying terrible things in @loriantique55 s forum.

I have been getting messages from my swappers that are asking me not to quit this swap as they love what I do. I have been really hurt by all that has gone on with this loriantique55 and her friends but I will get over it. Just look forward later to another Thriftstore Find in the months ahead with me as the coordinator. I have made a list of all those who continue to make nasty remarks that are unfounded and I will not let them in my swaps if I continue Thriftstore Find.

A box of thrift store finds went out to my partner today for her and her girls to enjoy!

Nice messages being received from nice swappers today.

Oh Ladydy5 I have missed whatever has been said about you,thankfully. I have loved you as coordinator,and all of us who have swapped on this sight have always loved you and the job that you do as coordinator! Please continue,you are awesome!

Please don't quit Ladydy5 you are awesome!!!

Someone complained that she is a horrible host, because a swapper from Europe signed up, when it is clear this is a USA only swap. Some expect her to look at all 5.0 raters and make sure they are all on the up and up, looking through ratings and looking where each one is from, and still get the names/addresses out within 24 hours of the sign up deadline.

Blaming the host, instead of the swapper from Europe,must be easier for those that complained, because the swapper from Europe was not easy to contact, by the one to send to her. Granted that leaves that swapper in a pickle, but this is still no way @ladydy5 s fault, unless we want her to take four or five days each time and read each persons profile and find how they rate and try to read between the lines on 5.0 rates to see if there is any bad intent, and then determine if even the 5.0 partners are a risk, by some words in the profile, or a hint in the ratings left for or by her.

The partner can send to the Europe partner, what I got, a postcard in an envelope, then that swapper will be out even less for postage sending international, then most of the rest of us that will stuff the envelope full.

I applaud her job, I have been flaked on, but that is not her fault, I blame the flaker , not the messenger, I have received way less than I have sent, several times, but that is the risk I choose to take.

Happy May Day!
Sent gentle reminders to seven who have not sent yet. Not bad out of 69 and some may not have marked it sent. Thank you all for joining in. My last public one 36 is up now.

Fawnscraft thank you for being such an intelligent and understanding swapper. I have done and put up many, many swaps and this was the first time such nastiness by some swappers was said unfounded. I also sent to the swapper that the Uk girl was to send to and didn't.

@ladydy5 I have been there with the comments, so I understand. Even if I had not, I still felt it was not your fault.

I got a postcard for this swap and per swap description, that is perfectly fine. The swapper that signed up from Europe can get the same in my opinion, that makes the partner fulfilled her part. But then she can be blocked by many hosts from here out, especially if you or her partner want to make us aware of who she is.

I sent mine out and it came back with postage due, even though I weighed it on a postal scale and got the correct postage. Instead of arguing the the USPS, I just paid it. So my partner should be getting it today I hope.

For some reason there are two very angry swappers who continue to harass Me and my swappers so I do delete them as soon as I see their names (without reading their comment). It is such a shame, isn't it my friends?

Thank all you swappers who despite nasty unfounded comments about me surfaced are still my swap buddies. So far 69 of you joined in and I hope beginning in June you will join my group. Thriftstore Find, I will have more control on who I want in my swaps, And keep out mal-contents from before who really need to be taken off such a friendly, fun, site. Thanks again and enjoy!

Only one person did not send yet, 1 person was International and I angeled to her swap and one marked it sent but didn't send. Onward to 36!
