Swanky Junk Swap!

and
Miss Mustard Seed
invite you to a
SWANKY JUNK SWAP
When: Saturday, November 13, from 11am-2pm
Where: Wild Rose and Company Marketplace in Walkersville, MD
Who:  There is a limit of 30 spaces, so only those who RSVP can attend.
Cost: $15 for the cost of the space and lunch catered by The Corner Bakery.  You’ll also get to enjoy yummy treats from Snickety Snacks.
What is a “Swanky Junk Swap”?
This is an opportunity for you to bring a couple of vintage or antique pieces that are really cool, but not right for you or your home and then get to leave with two pieces you (hopefully) love.  Details will be provided to those attending the event.
Why else should you attend?
We’re also a cool bunch of ladies and we’ll have a blast together swapping our “junk”!
If you’d like to attend, please send me an e-mail at marian@missmustardseed.com to reserve your spot!

  1. It's great that you keep reminding us to vote. I just emailed the link to 20 of my closest girlfriends to get them to vote too. I will email them daily as well. I totally hope you win!!

  2. I don't live close enough to attend the swap (it's a great idea, by the way!) but thank goodness for the internet. I can vote from anywhere (from my couch today to be specific! :)) Thanks for the reminders to vote. Crossing my fingers it works out for you! Keep the reminders coming!

  3. At this very moment, I am hating that Ilive in CA which makes it impossible for me to attend. Ok. I actually LOVE living in CA, but am so sad stuff like this doesn't happen over here 🙁

  4. Boy do I wish I lived somewhere in the East—that would be so much fun to do the junk swap.

the notesbooks on my desk

I take a hybrid approach when it comes to running my life and organizing my thoughts.  I like paper, pencils, and pens for writing down ideas, planning, and managing my day.  While old-fashioned notebooks are my preference for most things, I rely heavily on a digital calendar and reminder alarms
